A sealant composition comprising a binder and a filler material. The binder comprising a residual pitch product and an elastomeric material and, optionally, asphalt, a microcrystalline wax, and/or oil. The filler material is present in an amount of between about 11 vol. % and about 67 vol. % of the sealant composition. In one embodiment, the filler material is present in an amount of between about 25 wt. % and about 70 wt. % of the sealant composition.

Highly-filled sealant compositions

A multi-layered roofing shingle is described. The layers of the shingle are connected via a mechanical fastener. A method for manufacturing a multi-layered shingle is also described. The method includes aligning the layers of the shingle, and connecting the layers via at least one mechanical fastener. Further described is a multi-layered shingle having layers that are mechanically fastened by deforming one of the layers into one of the other layers.

Enhanced multi-layered shingle

A roofing material fastener comprises a shank having a length dimension and a point. The shank is adapted to enable it to be driven through at least a first course of roofing material and into a roof deck. A fastener head is positioned in a region of the shank distal from the point. A spike protrusion projects from the distal region of the shank to a terminus. The length of the spike protrusion is less than one half the length of the shank, measured from the point to the fastener head. The spike protrusion is adapted to penetrate a depth less than the full depth of a second course of roofing material installed above the first course. The spike protrusion is shaped to inhibit sawing through the second course of roofing material by the spike protrusion.

Roofing material fasteners, applicators and method of installation

A textile sizing composition comprising one or more aqueous-based dispersions containing between about 15 and about 50 percent by weight solids wherein said solids comprise one or more polymers derived from one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers, said solids having an average particle size of less than 100 nanometers is disclosed.
