Reclaimed roofing granules, roofing materials comprising reclaimed roofing granules, and methods for forming roofing granules are provided. A roofing granule comprises a roofing shingle waste core having a surface. The roofing shingle waste core comprises a base particle. The roofing shingle waste core comprises an asphalt residue. The asphalt residue covers at least a portion of the roofing shingle waste core. The roofing granule comprises a colored coating. The colored coating covers at least a portion of the asphalt residue.

Reclaimed roofing granules and related methods

Roofing granules comprising agglomerated inorganic material, and building materials, such as shingles, that include such roofing granules. By fabricating roofing granules from agglomerating inorganic material it is possible to tailor the particle size distribution so as to provide optimal shingle surface coverage, thus reducing shingle weight and usage of raw materials. Additionally, the use of agglomeration permits the utilization of by-products from conventional granule production processes.

Building materials comprising agglomerated particles

A method comprising (a) obtaining rock fines comprising at least one of basalt, metabasalt, diabase, rhyolite, andesite, meta-andesite, granite, graphite, talc, silica, sand, perlite, or a combination thereof, (b) obtaining a binder, (c) obtaining a material comprising at least one of Ca, Mg, S, B, Cl, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Zn, or a combination thereof, and (d) combining ingredients comprising the rock fines, the binder, and the material.

Rock fines as carriers of plant nutrients

This invention relates to coated roofing granules, roofing materials made therefrom, and methods of preparing such coated roofing granules. By coating roofing granules with an aqueous coating that includes water, a silicon-containing oligomer or polymer, and an acrylic resin, coated roofing granules can be prepared that exhibit reduced staining as compared to traditional roofing granules that are treated with petroleum oil.

Coated roofing granules, roofing materials made therefrom and methods of preparing coated roofing granules

A preform for a container comprises a polymer composition which includes tungsten oxide particles, for example WOor WO.

Polymeric materials

The present invention provides novel packaging articles, e.g., food and beverage cans. Preferred cans typically comprise a body portion and an end portion, wherein at least one of the body and end portions are aluminum and are coated on at least one major surface with a coating composition of the present invention. Suitable coating compositions of the present invention comprise: one or more polyester resins, wherein at least one of the polyester resins has a glass transition temperature ('Tg') less than about 50&#xb0; C., and wherein the polyester resin is formed by the reaction of one or more polyacid molecules and one or more polyol molecules, and a crosslinker. Preferred compositions are substantially free of mobile BPA and aromatic glycidyl ether compounds, e.g., BADGE, BFDGE and epoxy novalacs (e.g., NOGE) and more preferred compositions are also substantially free of bound BPA and aromatic glycidyl ether compounds. In more preferred embodiments (e.g., alcoholic beverage cans), the polyol molecules used to make the polyester resin are substantially free of NPG. The present invention also provides a method of making such cans.

Coating composition for metal substrates

A coating composition for a food or beverage can that includes an emulsion polymerized latex polymer formed by combining an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component with an aqueous dispersion of a water-dispersible polymer.

Coating compositions for aluminum beverage cans and methods of coating same

The present invention provides novel packaging articles, e.g., food and beverage cans. Preferred cans typically comprise a body portion and an end portion, wherein at least one of the body and end portions are aluminum and are coated on at least one major surface with a coating composition of the present invention. Suitable coating compositions of the present invention comprise: one or more polyester resins, wherein at least one of the polyester resins has a glass transition temperature ('Tg') less than about 50&#xb0; C., and wherein the polyester resin is formed by the reaction of one or more polyacid molecules and one or more polyol molecules; and a crosslinker. Preferred compositions are substantially free of mobile BPA and aromatic glycidyl ether compounds, e.g., BADGE, BFDGE and epoxy novalacs (e.g., NOGE) and more preferred compositions are also substantially free of bound BPA and aromatic glycidyl ether compounds. In more preferred embodiments (e.g., alcoholic beverage cans), the polyol molecules used to make the polyester resin are substantially free of NPG. The present invention also provides a method of making such cans.
