A roofing system includes a roofing membrane. The roofing membrane has a surface energy of 40 mN/m or less. The roofing system includes a roofing substrate. The roofing system includes an adhesive disposed between the roofing membrane and the roofing substrate. The adhesive includes a styrenic block copolymer. The styrenic block copolymer is present in an amount of 0.5 wt. % to 30 wt. % based on a total weight of the adhesive. The adhesive includes asphalt. The asphalt is present in an amount of 70 wt. % to 99.5 wt. % based on the total weight of the adhesive. A ratio of the styrenic block copolymer to the asphalt in the adhesive is 1:11 to 1:3.

Adhesives for low surface energy materials

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to roofing systems. In some embodiments, the roofing system includes a deck, a roofing material, and an underlayment configured to be positioned between the roofing material and the deck. In some embodiments, the underlayment comprises a foil layer and an adhesive layer that is attached to the foil layer and configured to be attached to the deck. Methods of manufacturing roofing systems are also disclosed.

Self-adhered roofing systems and methods

Non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining asphalt shingle waste (ASW) and performing grinding, screening, and separating steps on the ASW. In some embodiments, granules are removed from the ASW. In some embodiments, the method transforms ASW into ASW powder. In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into a plurality of briquettes. In some embodiments, at least one of: the ASW powder, the plurality of briquettes, or any combination thereof is fed into a mixing process that results in an ASW powder filled coating. In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into an adhesive composition.

Methods of forming an adhesive composition from asphalt shingle waste powder

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to roofing systems including a substrate and adhesive formulations that are free of asphalt or substantially free of asphalt. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods of making one or more adhesive formulations that are free of asphalt or substantially free of asphalt. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems utilizing one or more adhesive formulations that are free of asphalt or substantially free of asphalt.

Adhesive formulations for roofing applications and related methods

This invention, in embodiments, relates to non-asphaltic coatings for roofing materials, to roofing materials made therefrom and to methods of preparing such coatings and roofing materials. By blending thermoplastic polymers with appropriate fillers and/or recycled materials, a composition is produced that can be pressed into a desired shape, or that can be additionally mixed with oils, resins and/or waxes to provide a liquid that can be poured onto an appropriate substrate.

Non-asphaltic coatings, non-asphaltic roofing materials, and methods of making thereof

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to roofing composites. In some embodiments, the roofing composite includes a first layer having a top surface. In some embodiments, the top surface of the first layer comprises a first embossed surface portion, a second embossed surface portion, and a flat surface portion between the first and second embossed surface portions. In some embodiments, the flat surface portion is between the first and second embossed surface portions. In some embodiments, the roofing composite is configured to attach to a roof structure, such as a roof deck. Methods of forming roofing composited are also disclosed.

Asphalt shingle waste adhesive compositions for roofing applications and related methods

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to roofing systems. In some embodiments, the roofing system includes a deck, a roofing material, and an underlayment configured to be positioned between the roofing material and the deck. In some embodiments, the underlayment comprises a foil layer and an adhesive layer that is attached to the foil layer and attachable to the deck. Methods of manufacturing roofing systems are also disclosed.

Building materials such as structural panels, beams, roof decking, and flooring panels, are packaged within a protective layer including a sublayer of a polymeric material that can be applied at the factory. The protective layer protects the underlying building materials from exposure to weather and potential damage due to handling during shipping, at a job site, and which can be left in place during construction, thus eliminating the need for temporary protective measures covering the building materials. The protective layer may have additional properties such as breathability, fire resistance, and sound absorption. The protective layer also may provide an underlayment such as for flooring and roofing.

A surface covering comprising at least one layer containing aluminum oxide is disclosed. Preferably, the aluminum oxide is present in the outermost layer of the surface covering which is exposed to the environment. A method to improve wear and/or stain resistance to a surface covering is also disclosed and includes adding an effective amount of aluminum oxide to a top coat layer or outermost layer of a surface covering. Methods of making the surface covering are also disclosed.

Surface coverings containing aluminum oxide

A floor surface is described which involves a plurality of planks joined together using a 2-part adhesive system. Pre-applied adhesives on one or more floor panels are further described as well as methods of installing the floor panels to form a floor surface.
