What is Pitch Black®?

Pitch Black® is a custom rubberized asphalt emulsion blended with select minerals, polymers and chemicals to produce the finest product. Each additive was selected for its characteristics that ultimately produce a sealcoat with the deepest and longest lasting color, firmest body, and greatest durability. It is extraordinarily tough, flexible and water repellent. The co-efficient of expansion and contraction of Pitch Black® asphalt pavement sealer is identical to that of asphalt pavement and has a natural affinity for bonding to asphalt pavement. Performance in the field and lab testing confirm the superiority of Pitch Black® over competitive products in the marketplace.

Pitch Black® vs. Coal Tar

Are you a coal tar advocate? Chances are you’ve tried one brand of asphalt emulsion sealcoat and had a negative experience. We’ve heard about the fading, cracking, limited durability, etc. of asphalt emulsion products that hit the market and crashed. But did you know that Pitch Black® Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat has been in the industry for almost 30 years? The West Coast has been using asphalt emulsion sealcoat since the 1980s. Coal tar was abandoned by most West Coast contractors to avoid the risk of harmful health and environmental effects. With the right asphalt emulsion sealcoat formula, you can get even better performance from your sealcoat without the drawbacks of coal tar. Here are some points to consider:
