About NxLite
NxLite, formerly known as 3E Nano, specializes in the development and manufacturing of advanced sustainable coatings and polymer materials. The company's core products are energy-control coatings designed for windows and other transparent barriers. These coatings are engineered to significantly reduce energy consumption by controlling the amount of light and heat that passes through glazing materials.
The primary market for NxLite's technology is the construction and manufacturing sectors, where there is a growing demand for energy-efficient building materials. The company's business model revolves around producing these specialized coatings and materials at its Advanced Innovation & Manufacturing (AIM) Center in Canton, Michigan. By offering lighter and more durable alternatives to traditional glazing, NxLite aims to capture a segment of the high-performance materials market.
Founded in 2015 by entrepreneurs with backgrounds in solar energy and nanotechnology, the company leverages this expertise to create its products. The business makes money by selling its coating and polymer solutions to manufacturers of windows, glass, and other building components.
