The apparatus and process disclosed relates to the application of a pattern on a material such as roof covering or siding where the surface is coated with media to create a three dimensional pattern. The 3-D pattern is created in multiple detailed steps so that the width of the pattern can be of an adjustable size in order to make the pattern more diverse and variable. The apparatus and method disclosed herein utilizes a series of applicator units which apply media in a pattern or without a specific pattern onto the material. The first applicator unit is designed to be the master applicator unit. Each applicator unit can include a separate drive or motor. The apparatus and process disclosed incorporates one or more slave applicator units. These slave pattern applicator units with slave pattern applicator rolls are synchronized to the master pattern applicator roll located in the master applicator unit.

Apparatus and process to create 3-D pattern on material

A coating composition for granular roofing has a liquid phase, such as a water, vinyl copolymer or a modified acrylic, and a material with high reflectance, such as CaCO, TiO, ceramic microspheres, nano-particles, talc dispersed therein to yield a low-viscosity coating. The coating is applied to a granular surface in a thin layer that does not significantly disturb the granular aesthetics, but covers the base material, e.g., modified bitumen, at least partially, to increase the overall reflectivity of the material. In some embodiments, the coating improves the physical integrity of the granular surface and increases resistance to environmental effects and may perform a pigment function. In one embodiment, the coating is applied as a powder followed by the application of a liquid. In another embodiment, the coating includes a water repellant.

Building construction material with high solar reflectivity

A self-adhesive ventilating modified bituminous roofing composite in which the release liner is printed with a transfer chemical such that upon removal of the release liner, the adhesive portion of the membrane is rendered non-adhesive in a pattern that provides ventilation pathways that allow for the lateral escape of pressure or latent moisture once the substrate is affixed to the roofing surface, thereby extending the life of the roofing system.

Self-adhesive ventilating waterproofing membrane

A polymer modified bituminous composition for roofing applications that comprises polyethylene as the primary modifier.

Polyethylene modified asphalt compositions

A self-adhering modified bituminous roofing tile underlayment material for tile roof assemblies that comprises an APP modified bitumen compound on the front side, and a factory-applied self-adhesive compound on the back side of a reinforcement carrier sheet, and granules embedded on the APP modified bitumen compound to provide a non-skid surface. A method of manufacturing such composite comprising coating an APP compound on the top surface and affixing a self-adhesive compound to the bottom surface of a reinforcement carrier support sheet, and applying a release liner to the tacky self-adhesive layer during manufacture, stripping the release liner, salvage release film and end lap film from the membrane immediately prior to use, subsequently placing the surface of the membrane directly on to the upper surface of the roof deck, base sheet or underlayment, and applying force directly to the sheet to enhance the bond between the composite and the underlying surface that is created by the tacky self-adhesive compound. The present invention relates generally to roofing underlayments residential roofing assemblies using tiles made of clay or concrete as the exposed surface.

Self-adhering modified bitumen underlayment for tile roofs

A self-adhering modified bituminous underlayment for metal roof assemblies that comprises an APP modified bitumen compound on the front side, and a factory-applied self-adhesive compound on the back side of a reinforcement carrier sheet, and a fabric at least partially embedded in the APP modified bitumen compound to provide a non-skid surface. A method of manufacturing such composite comprising coating an APP compound on the top surface and affixing a self-adhesive compound to the bottom surface of a reinforcement carrier support sheet, and applying a release liner to the tacky self-adhesive layer during manufacture, stripping the release liner, selvage release film and end lap film from the membrane immediately prior to use, subsequently placing the surface of the membrane directly on to the upper surface of the roof deck, base sheet or underlayment, and applying force directly to the sheet to enhance the bond between the composite and the underlying surface that is created by the tacky self-adhesive compound. The present invention relates generally to residential roofing assemblies using metal as the surface.

Self-adhering modified bitumen underlayment for metal roofs

A self-adhering modified bituminous roof covering composite that comprises a thermoplastic (APP), elastomeric (SBS) or TPO modified bitumen compound on the front side, and a factory-applied self-adhesive compound on the back side of a reinforcement carrier sheet, with factory-applied tracts of adhesive on the side lap and end lap sections of each roll to enhance adhesion. A method of manufacturing such composite comprising coating an APP or SBS or TPO compound on the upper surface and affixing a self-adhesive compound to the lower surface of a reinforcement carrier support sheet, coating an adhesive on the side lap and end lap areas, applying a release liner to the tacky self-adhesive layer, and applying release films to the side and end laps during manufacture, stripping the release liner, selvage release film and end lap film from the membrane immediately prior to use, subsequently placing the exposed self-adhesive side of the membrane directly on to the end lap areas and side lap areas of adjacent rolls and applying force directly to the sheet to enhance the bond between the two sheets, resulting in a continuous roof covering. The present invention relates generally to residential and commercial roofing membranes.

Modified bitumen roofing membrane with enhanced sealability

A self-adhering modified bituminous roof covering composite that comprises an APP modified bitumen compound on the front side, and a factory-applied self-adhesive compound on the back side of a reinforcement carrier sheet. A method of manufacturing such composite comprising coating an APP compound on the top surface and affixing a self-adhesive compound to the bottom surface of a reinforcement carrier support sheet, and applying a release liner to the tacky self-adhesive layer during manufacture, stripping the release liner, selvage release film and end lap film from the membrane immediately prior to use, subsequently placing the exposed surface of the membrane directly on to the upper surface of the roof deck, base sheet or underlayment, and applying force directly to the sheet to enhance the bond between the composite and the underlying surface that is created by the tacky self-adhesive compound. The present invention relates generally to residential and commercial roofing membranes and shingles.
