Inca Technology

What Inca Technology does

Inca Technology Inc is an Atlanta-based specialty chemicals company that designs and manufactures Solar Off-Loading Technology (SOLT®), a proprietary pigment system that neutralizes solar and radiant thermal energy in thin-film topical coatings as thin as 100 µm. SOLT is delivered either as a standalone coating or integrated into existing polymer, fabric, or coating chemistries, with commercial products including CLK2020 (durable hard-surface coating with U.L. Class A fire rating on steel), CTC-100 (water-based elastomeric fabric treatment), HeatShield X-55 (fluid-applied mineral-polymer insulation), and the InsulArmor® multi-layer system for higher R-value wall and surface treatments. The company was founded in 2009, operates with 1–10 employees, and is privately held.

INCA's customers are concentrated in defense, transportation, and institutional construction. Named engagements include the U.S. Army Natick RDEC (refrigerated ISO container R&D), U.S. Marine Corps ExFOB 4 testing (47% energy savings on tents), U.S. Navy Carderock Naval Laboratory (fabric analysis), CSX Transportation (1,000s of coil car units over several years, displacing spray-in-place urethane foam), and Florida State University (InsulArmor on Doak Campbell Stadium). The go-to-market is quote-based enterprise field sales supported by an authorized INCA dealer network, a verified Thomas Supplier profile, and content marketing — with no published price list, no self-service ecommerce, and all transactions routed through phone, email, or a website Request for Quote form. No public revenue, funding, or cap-table information is disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Coatings and Specialty Pigment Sales: Primary revenue from sale of SOLT-based coating products (CLK2020, CTC-100, X-55) packaged in 1-gallon, 5-gallon, and 55-gallon containers and sold via quote, phone, and authorized dealers. One-time purchase per project, with consumable replenishment.
2. Authorized Dealer Channel Sales: Distribution of INCA products through 'authorized INCA dealers' who extend product warranties and application warranties to end customers, generating margin through third-party sales.
3. Government / Defense Contract Work: Custom R&D and specification-driven contracts (e.g., U.S. Army Natick RDEC R&D contract for refrigerated ISO containers) where INCA develops, applies, and validates engineered SOLT solutions for specific mission requirements.
4. Commercial Installation / Application Services: On-site installation services for multi-layer InsulArmor systems on commercial and institutional buildings (e.g., Florida State University Doak Campbell Stadium), bundling materials with labor.

Core offering

Inca Technology designs, manufactures, and sells SOLT-based specialty pigment coatings that neutralize solar and radiant thermal energy in thin-film applications as thin as 100 µm (4 mil). Its commercial products include CLK2020 (durable hard-surface coating), CTC-100 (fabric treatment), HeatShield X-55 (fluid-applied insulation), and the InsulArmor multi-layer wall system, sold in standard 1-, 5-, and 55-gallon packaging to military, government, transportation, construction, and OEM manufacturing customers in the United States.

Product overview

INCA Technology's offering is a single, unified specialty-chemicals platform built around its patented SOLT (Solar Off-Loading Technology) pigment system, with several named products that deliver SOLT in different forms for different substrates. The core platform is SOLT itself — a topical coating technology that neutralizes up to 78% of solar/radiant heat. CLK2020 is the flagship durable hard-surface SOLT coating (metals, fiberglass, plastics, concrete), HeatShield X-55 is the fluid-applied SOLT variant focused on insulation of HVAC, tanks, rail cars and equipment, and CTC-100 is the SOLT formulation engineered for vinyl, canvas and other fabrics. InsulArmor® is a higher-build, multi-layer SOLT system (e.g., INCA Series 6010) that stacks several INCA TFTM products to deliver meaningful R-value on walls and large surfaces. Together, SOLT and InsulArmor® form the technology platform, with CLK2020, CTC-100 and X-55 as the named commercial products, applicable across transportation, military, construction, manufacturing and consumer goods.

Products and services

• CLK2020 Durable, water-based acrylic SOLT surface treatment that eliminates 78% of radiant (solar) thermal energy absorption on hard substrates including steel, aluminum, fiberglass, rigid plastics, glass, and concrete; carries a U.L. Class A fire rating when applied to steel and is sold in 1, 5, and 55 US gallon packaging. Targeted at industrial, rail transportation, military, and construction buyers seeking foam-equivalent insulation in a thin-film coating.
• CTC-100 Single-component, water-based elastomeric fabric coating incorporating heat-reflecting, refracting, and dissipating materials, designed for vinyl, synthetic fabrics, canvas, and natural fabrics. Remains flexible down to 0°F and provides a minimum 3-year durability in normal service, used to create solar heat gain barriers on military tents and other fabric structures.
• HeatShield X-55 Fluid-applied, water-based thermal insulation coating built on proprietary mineral and polymer technology that dries to a firm, durable enamel finish. Used on HVAC equipment, boilers, heat exchangers, industrial tanks, rail cars, shipping containers, and most other surfaces to reduce or eliminate heat loss or gain.
• InsulArmor Multi-Layer System (e.g., INCA Series 6010) Multi-layer topical treatment composed of several INCA Thin Film Thermal Management (TFTM) products that adds significant R-value in a coating as thin as 1,250 µm (50 mils). Used as a thermal and acoustic barrier on concrete/masonry walls and large building envelopes, including the INCA Series 6010 system installed at the Florida State University University Center at Doak Campbell Stadium.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered flagship, core and minor.

• U.S. Army Natick RDEC (Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center)flagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerINCA was awarded an R&D contract by the U.S. Army's Natick RDEC to apply CLK2020 SOLT to two prototype refrigerated ISO shipping containers. The prototypes were then evaluated by an ISO-certified test facility for structural, heat, and air leakage, demonstrating significant performance improvements in Middle East-type hot ambient climates.
• U.S. Marine Corps / U.S. Navy (Carderock Naval Laboratory)flagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerINCA was invited to demonstrate SOLT at ExFOB 4, Marine Corps Base TwentyNine Palms, California, and later participated in the Net Zero Continuum at Holloman AFB, NM. The U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy (via Carderock Naval Laboratory) co-sponsored six-day monitoring and analysis, validating a 47% energy savings on military tents.
• CSX TransportationflagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerCSX engineers engaged INCA to replace out-dated spray-in-place urethane foam insulation on specialty 'coil cars' with CLK2020. After a multi-year laboratory and field trial at the CSX Research Lab in Waycross, GA, CLK2020 was specified on new-build coil cars; INCA has supplied Thin Film Thermal Management products for 1,000s of coil car units over several years.
• Florida State University (University Center at Doak Campbell Stadium)coreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerINCA completed the installation of the INCA Series 6010 InsulArmor system on the concrete block (CMU) walls of the University Center at Doak Campbell Stadium, a high-traffic public environment, providing thermal insulation, sound attenuation, and durable exterior protection.
• Insulating Coatings of America, Inc.coreOEM/ Whitelabel/ Licensing PartnerIdentified in the CTC-100 product warranty as the entity that 'guarantees its products as to specification and merchantability of the product as of the date of manufacture,' suggesting a manufacturing or affiliated-entity relationship with INCA's SOLT product line.
• Thomas Marketing ServicesminorOthersListed in the website footer as the creator of INCA Technology's site (Thomas Marketing Services); a marketing-services relationship rather than a commercial product partnership.
