Explore how Precise Nano Corporation is revolutionizing nanogold production, overcoming industry challenges, and setting new sustainability benchmarks.
Can you share a bit about the unique challenges and opportunities that Precise Nano Corporation faced when working with nanomaterials, and what initially inspired you to focus on Nano-Gold as your flagship product?
The nanomaterials industry consistently faces challenges in producing clean, consistent, non-agglomerated, and accurately sized materials. These issues arise with both “top-down” mechanical reduction techniques, like milling, and “bottom-up” chemical colloidal processes, which often introduce toxic additives and contamination, compromising integrity and performance.
This is particularly problematic for precious metals like Gold and Silver, which are used in colloidal products.
As artisans and perfectionists in nanomaterials production, PNC addresses these challenges using proprietary methods that eliminate the need for toxic chemicals, resulting in high-quality, biocompatible materials.
Developing this process took decades of research and refinement, culminating in a nanoscale product that is pure and biocompatible. Our process meets the intricate demands of researchers and developers of additive manufacturing (AM) products, offering clean, precise, and superior quality nanomaterials, including precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum.
Despite the cost-intensive quality assurance required, PNC remains competitive in pricing compared to inferior products currently on the market.
Many existing processes, such as high-energy laser ablation and plasma-arc techniques, struggle with consistency in size, shape, and carbon emissions. PNC overcame these issues with our unique Ultra Nano Vaporization Process (UNVP), developed by Richard Tacker. This low-power, environmentally controlled system produces the purest, most precise nanomaterials available today.
This breakthrough enables us to deliver clean Nano-Gold that exceeds performance standards across industries while achieving cost-efficient scalability.

PNC went dormant for a period. What led to this decision, and what factors prompted the company’s successful re-entry into the global marketplace?
Although “dormant” is not entirely accurate, fiscal and regulatory challenges required us to shift focus toward research and development. This recalibration period allowed us to achieve pivotal advancements in our proprietary nano production reactor system, enabling superior technology, efficiency, and production scale. These improvements addressed many of the industry’s persistent challenges.
Our successful re-entry into the global market was also reinforced by innovations such as our “FAST-1” fire suppression technology. This universal solution leverages our nanomaterials expertise to efficiently and safely extinguish even complex fires, including lithium-ion battery fires.
How do PNC's advanced processes achieve unmatched purity, consistency, and environmental safety, setting a new industry benchmark?
PNC’s production process is built on trade secret intellectual property that prioritizes environmental safety and operational integrity. Unlike traditional methods reliant on toxic chemicals, our approach is natural, clean, and contamination-free.
We not only meet but exceed EPA, OSHA, and DOE requirements. These agencies use highly sensitive equipment to monitor air quality, wastewater, and other environmental factors, ensuring the sustainability of ecosystems and workplace safety while minimizing energy use and carbon footprint.
To validate every batch, we use advanced diagnostic tools such as SEM/TEM electron microscopes and spectrometers. This meticulous quality assurance ensures that our nanomaterials meet the highest standards for size, shape, consistency, and purity without compromising safety or performance.
Many companies struggle to bring nanomaterials to market before their patents expire. How did PNC overcome these challenges, and what role did your proprietary reactor system play in achieving this milestone?
Patents for additive manufacturing (AM) products often cover applications rather than the materials themselves.
PNC relies on proprietary trade secrets, formulas, and processes rather than patents for our nanomaterial production. This approach ensures consistently pure, clean, and precise products, giving our clients confidence in developing reliable intellectual property and final products.
Our unique reactor system resolves common quality assurance issues, such as inconsistent shapes, sizes, and contamination, which can cause performance flaws. By achieving scalable, high-quality production, we enable industries to maximize the potential of additive manufacturing applications.
How does PNC’s approach ensure that your Nano-Gold meets the stringent demands of highly sensitive applications?
Our production protocols are entirely natural and biocompatible, free from adulterants or toxic additives. These qualities are crucial for developing final consumer products derived from additive manufacturing.
All PNC-made nanomaterials undergo rigorous testing and validation using state-of-the-art analytical instruments to verify purity, size, shape, and consistency. These attributes are critical for biomedical, healthcare, aerospace, and electronics applications, where ultra-clean and precise materials are essential for optimum performance.
Nano-Gold has applications in different industries. Which applications are most exciting for you, and what trends are you seeing in their development?
The biomedical field is particularly exciting. Advances in healthcare, especially for treating complex diseases, depend on pure and biocompatible Nano-Gold. Consistency and quality assurance are essential to meeting performance and reliability standards in this sector.
Beyond healthcare, we see significant opportunities in cosmetics, aerospace, energy, and high-end electronics.

How does your FAST-1 Nano Universal Fire Formula leverage nanomaterials to address the challenges of extinguishing complex fires?
FAST-1 is designed to quickly and safely extinguish fires across all classes without re-ignition. Its formula prioritizes safety, sustainability, and performance.
Our proprietary nanomaterials enhance the surface area, boosting suppression capabilities and neutralizing toxic smoke emissions almost instantly. This clean, biodegradable solution reduces uncertainty in emergency scenarios and is effective even for complex fires, such as lithium-ion battery thermal runaway spontaneous fire events, which give off very toxic gases with complex re-ignition potential, making them one of the most difficult fires to extinguish. PNC can ensure complete extinguishing in a safe, sustainable and economical manner.
How has PNC innovated to make its production process both sustainable and eco-friendly?
PNC operates well within EPA, OSHA, and DOE regulations, focusing on minimizing fossil fuel consumption and eliminating toxic chemicals. We carefully monitor energy usage to ensure efficiency and sustainability.
Unlike other methods that produce toxic byproducts requiring disposal, our clean production process reduces environmental impact while maintaining the highest quality standards. This commitment to sustainability is validated through strict compliance with state and federal regulations.
What is the next big breakthrough for Nano-Gold or nanomaterials in general? How does PNC plan to stay at the forefront of this evolving field?
The future of nanomaterials and AM technologies depends on improving quality, scalability, and consistency for advanced applications. PNC will continue driving innovation with clean, precise, and economically scalable production processes that overcome industry hurdles.
By maintaining our focus on superior craftsmanship and sustainable practices, we aim to unlock new opportunities across industries worldwide.
