If a sealcoat is makeup, BioBlack AR is a moisturizer.
Why BioBlack AR works and how you’ll benefit.
Rejuvenating Insights
Made with BioBlack — our certified wood-based pigment.
Sealcoat is a superficial layer that covers your dried asphalt like bad makeup. It cracks and fades and wears off just when you need it.
BioBlack AR works more like a moisturizer. It goes deep because its bio-based formula is engineered to mimic asphalt's own molecular structure. That asphalt-compatible chemistry lets it absorb into the surface and restore the binder, rebuilding it from the inside out so it stays smoother, blacker, and extends its life by years.
One covers the problem. The other solves it.
Science Behind Sealcoat vs Rejuvenator
BioBlack AR is part of Nature Coating’s family of bio-based black pigments. It isn't carbon black or made from petroleum. It's durable, non-toxic, produced at scale, and sourced from certified wood waste.
BioBlack AR is a deep, lasting black pigment that pulls double duty on the asphalt: the color shields the surface from UV, the very thing that dries out and ages your pavement. The black you see doesn’t just make your asphalt look better, it's also protection.

ASPHALT: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
BioBlack AR is a 98% bio-based asphalt rejuvenator with a pigment made from FSC-certified wood waste. It provides a clean, high-performance alternative to fossil-based coal tar for commercial parking lots and roadways..
-
BioBlack AR penetrates the asphalt binder to restore lost maltenes and rebalance binder chemistry. This reverses oxidative aging and restores flexibility, which can extend the service life of pavement by 5–7 years. By deferring repaving, it allows for significant financial savings.
-
BioBlack AR delivers deep, lasting black tones, and exceptional binder restoration—outperforming conventional coal tar and petroleum sealers—while remaining non-hazardous and free from toxic aromatic hydrocarbons that pollute local waterways. Cures quickly, doesn’t require sand for traction, and does not track via foot or road traffic
-
Yes. BioBlack AR meets FAA P-632 performance standards for bituminous pavement rejuvenation. It ensures high friction levels and superior skid resistance (>48 mu) to maintain critical safety for vehicle braking and aircraft directional control.
-
Yes. BioBlack AR is 98.9% bio-based and verified carbon-neutral.
-
Major retail leaders l and defense facilities like Camp Atterbury Military Base have utilized BioBlack AR to extend the life of their parking and roadway infrastructure while meeting rigorous performance and sustainability requirements.
-
By rebalancing binder chemistry and improving aggregate retention, BioBlack AR reduces surface raveling by over 50% within two years. This seals fine voids and lowers moisture intrusion, preventing the rapid deterioration of high-traffic surfaces.
