Environmentally Friendly: 100% Friendly to the Environment

Coating systems have traditionally relied on solvents and additives that contribute to air pollution and generate hazardous waste. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) evaporate during application and curing, posing health risks to applicators and adding smog‑forming chemicals to the atmosphere. NanoPrime™ was engineered to break this pattern by providing robust corrosion protection without harming the environment.

At its core, NanoPrime is a water‑based primer. The formulation contains no VOCs, no heavy metals and no toxic components. NRX’s technical data stresses that the primer is environmentally friendly, non‑toxic and non‑flammable, making it safer for employees and the environment. Because the product is water based, it can be applied and cleaned up without solvents, reducing hazardous waste and simplifying compliance with environmental regulations.

The environmental friendliness extends to accidental spills. If NanoPrime is spilled in water or on grass, there are no harmful consequences; in fact, the phosphates in the formulation act as a fertilizer. This characteristic is especially valuable for offshore installations and coastal facilities where accidental releases could otherwise harm marine or terrestrial ecosystems. The primer also emits no toxic fumes and has zero VOCs, so workers breathe easier and there is no contribution to air pollution.

Non‑flammability is another environmental and safety benefit. Since NanoPrime is water based and non‑hazardous, it does not require special storage permits or fire‑safety measures. Shipping and handling are simplified, and there is no risk of igniting a fire during application or in storage areas. These characteristics reduce the overall footprint of a coating project and lower the risk profile for contractors and facility owners.

Importantly, choosing an eco‑friendly primer does not mean compromising on performance. NanoPrime’s chemically bonded layer is insoluble, highly corrosion resistant and forms an excellent foundation for high‑performance topcoats. By combining environmental stewardship with high adhesion and durability, NanoPrime allows engineers and maintenance teams to meet sustainability goals while protecting valuable assets.
