Tested where safety isn't optional.
When you're bidding on municipal or airport projects, performance specs matter. BioBlack AR gives you the technical advantage you need to win those bids. It meets FAA P-632 performance standards for bituminous pavement rejuvenation and is engineered to exceed a friction value of 50—tested at 24 and 96 hours post-application—ensuring you deliver the safety standards required for vehicle braking and aircraft control.
Stewardship the public can see.
Reconstruction is the most expensive thing an agency can do to a road, and it's exactly what our timely rejuvenation delays. BioBlack AR adds years of usable life and defers costly repaving and reconstruction, moving a department from reactive patching toward planned, proactive maintenance.
For pavement management programs, that means more network kept in good condition for the same budget, and a maintenance story that's easy to justify to councils, boards, and taxpayers. 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.
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
-
Yes. It meets FAA P-632 performance standards for bituminous pavement rejuvenation, the governing standard for these applications, which makes it suitable for aviation and other high-requirement public facilities.
-
BioBlack AR is engineered and tested to exceed a friction value of 50, measured at both 24 and 96 hours after application. Adequate surface friction is critical for vehicle braking and, on airfields, for aircraft directional control.
-
It's 98.9% bio-based and carbon neutral, with a pigment from FSC-certified wood waste, and it contains no PAHs, VOCs, or PFAS. As agencies add environmental criteria to procurement and move away from coal tar, BioBlack AR is designed to meet those requirements rather than work against them.
-
Yes. Because it's bio-based and non-toxic, with none of the PAHs associated with coal tar runoff, it's safe for the areas surrounding the roadway, an important consideration near waterways, vegetation, and public spaces.
-
Yes. BioBlack AR has been used to restore roads for the U.S. military and state DOTs, extending the life of that infrastructure while meeting strict performance and environmental requirements.
-
It's a preventative-maintenance treatment for asphalt that's aged but still structurally sound. Applied at the right point in the deterioration curve, it keeps more of your network in good condition for longer and defers costly reconstruction, which strengthens the overall program.
