The science
Our solution doesn't sit on your shingles. It bonds to them.
A lot of roof "treatments" are a coating that sits on top, or an oil that softens for a season and washes away. Ours works differently — it becomes part of the shingle, and it's backed by real research.
The short version
Aging asphalt shingles dry out — the oils inside leave, the material grows brittle and sheds granules. Ours is a scientifically engineered plant-based chemistry that reacts with the aged asphalt, becoming part of the shingle rather than a film on top.
- It bonds, it doesn't just sit there. Shown by three independent instrumental methods: FTIR (new chemical environments), ¹H-NMR (the reactive epoxide groups are consumed in a reaction), and DSC (a shift in the glass-transition region consistent with changed crosslink density).
- It won't wash off. A covalent bond is not a coating. Rain, snowmelt, and freeze-thaw don't strip it away.
- The dose matters. Applied correctly, flexibility and granule hold come back. Applied too heavily, it can over-soften the shingle and do harm. That's why the rate is a specification — and a reason to hire someone who knows.
How it compares
A coating
Sits on top, like paint. It can peel and look blotchy — and it doesn't fix the shingle underneath.
Plain oil treatments
Softening is temporary — as the oil washes away over time, the shingle re-hardens.
What we do
A plant-based treatment that bonds to the aged asphalt and restores it from within.
The evidence behind it
This isn't a claim we can't back up. It's built on real research and real testing that we'll happily walk you through:
- An issued U.S. patent — US-12297150-B2, granted 2025, assigned to the Iowa State University Research Foundation.
- Published research with named authors from the original Iowa State engineering team that developed the chemistry.
- Independent laboratory testing published in full — not summarized, shown.
We'll tell you honestly how it works and what it does. We'll tell you when we don't have an answer yet. What we won't do is hide the caveats until after you've paid.
