Asphalt-based roofing materials, such as shingles, are disclosed that include a band of a parting material. The asphalt-based roofing material includes at least one asphalt-coated substrate that defines a headlap portion and a tab portion each having opposed top and bottom surfaces; a layer of backdust applied to at least a portion of the bottom surface of the headlap portion and to at least a portion of the bottom surface of the tab portion; a release section of parting material applied to the layer of backdust, where the parting material is included in the in the range of 0.0005 kg/mto 1 kg/m; and an adhesive.

Roofing materials including a layer of a parting agent

A shingle including a substrate having a first surface defining an upper side of the shingle and an opposing second surface defining a lower side of the shingle; asphalt infiltrating the substrate to form a first asphalt coating on the first surface of the substrate and a second asphalt coating on the second surface of the substrate; a plurality of granules embedded in the first asphalt coating; a first hydrophobic material; and a second hydrophobic material that is a different composition than the first hydrophobic material and the second hydrophobic material comprises a metal stearate, wherein the lower side of the shingle includes a lower surface and the first and the second hydrophobic material are disposed on the lower surface.

Shingles with increased hydrophobicity

A shingle includes a substrate, a surface layer of granules, a backdust layer, an adhesive, and a hydrophobic material. Asphalt is applied to the substrate to form a first asphalt coating on the top or upper surface of the substrate and a second asphalt coating on the bottom or lower surface of the substrate. A surface layer of granules is embedded in the first asphalt coating. A backdust layer of particles is embedded in the second asphalt coating. A adhesive is disposed on the backdust layer. The hydrophobic material is applied to the adhesive.
