• Spend your asphalt budget wisely.

    Nature Coatings’ BioBlack AR is a proven, bio-based asphalt rejuvenator that helps facilities managers get more life out of the lots they already own and manage, while meeting performance standards and reducing the environmental burden of traditional sealers. It also stretches your asphalt budget across more years by restoring your lots rather than just coating them. That means fewer surprises, fewer closures, and a property that keeps looking maintained between now and your next remodel.

Less downtime. Less disruption. Fewer complaints.

Every day a section of your lot is closed is a day of lost foot traffic. BioBlack AR cures within 4 to 8 hours and crews can restripe the same day, so sections reopen fast. There are no noxious odors near your entrances and no tracking into your building, which keeps the experience clean for customers, tenants, and staff.

The parking lot is the first thing your customers see.

A faded, cracked lot tells customers and tenants that nobody's paying attention. BioBlack AR is formulated with Nature Coatings’ BioBlack pigment that keeps asphalt looking new, so the lot reads as a maintained, cared-for property, the same signal a fresh sealcoat gives, except here it's the visible result of an actual restoration.

For multi-location portfolios, that means a consistent, on-brand look across every site, on a schedule you control around your remodel and refresh cycles. Plus, because it’s bio-based and non toxic, you can be a considerate member of the community and boost curb appeal.

What happens to your lot over twenty years using BioBlack AR

Nature Coatings

Year 0

Your asphalt leaves the paver scoring near 100 on the Pavement Condition Index.

Nature Coatings

Years 2-4

The surface begins to gray and dry out, marking the first decision point often disguised as a sealcoat quote.

Nature Coatings

Years 5-14

A BioBlack AR treatment restores binder and lifts the score; repeated every three years, this compounding flattens the deterioration curve.

Nature Coatings

Year 15

A lot on the program sits roughly 30 points higher on the scale than an untreated lot, the difference between planned maintenance and a capital request.

Nature Coatings

Year 20: Budget Impact

The overlay is deferred, and asphalt becomes a predictable three-year line item rather than a reactive cost.

Environmental compliance you can verify.

As more jurisdictions restrict coal tar over runoff concerns, BioBlack AR offers a compliant path forward. It's 98.9% bio-based and carbon neutral, with BioBlack pigment made from FSC-certified wood waste, and it contains no PAHs, VOCs, or PFAS. It's safe for the areas surrounding the roadway, which matters near waterways, schools, and public spaces.

It's being used by the U.S. military and departments of transportation at the state level to restore roads, extending the life of that infrastructure while meeting rigorous performance and environmental requirements.

ASPHALT: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Not long. BioBlack AR cures within 4 to 8 hours and can be restriped the same day, so sections of your lot reopen quickly. It cuts traditional sealcoating downtime from 24 to 48 hours down to just 4 to 8 hours with BioBlack AR. Most jobs are phased so the property never fully closes.

  • Minimally. There are no noxious odors near entrances and no tracking into your building once it has cured. Compared with the closure times and smell of a traditional sealcoat job, the disruption is much smaller.

  • It moves spending from reactive to predictable. By restoring the asphalt before it fails, BioBlack AR reduces the cracking and potholes that drive emergency repairs, and it defers the large overlay expense for up to five years when applied on a recommended maintenance program. That makes your asphalt line item easier to plan and defend.

  • Yes. We work with multi-location portfolios and can coordinate a consistent treatment schedule across sites so every property carries the same maintained, on-brand look. Contact us for portfolio pricing.

  • The sweet spot is asphalt that's aged but still structurally sound, typically lots around 2 to 8 years old, or any surface starting to gray and dry out. It pairs naturally with a remodel, refresh, or rebranding cycle, and with the moment you would otherwise schedule a sealcoat.

  • No noxious odors. Unlike the petroleum and coal tar smell most people associate with parking lot work, BioBlack AR won't fill your property or your tenants' spaces with fumes.

  • No, once it has cured within the recommended window. And because it's bio-based, anything that does transfer cleans up with soap and water rather than harsh solvents.

  • Sealcoat isn’t necessarily cheaper per application, and it only coats the surface and wears off, so you pay again every couple of years while the asphalt keeps aging underneath. BioBlack AR restores the asphalt itself and extends its life, which lowers your total cost over the years even though it does more per visit.
