Silicone-aggregate mixtures for pumping and spraying applications

An apparatus and method for pumping high viscosity mixtures, for example silicone-aggregate mixtures, including a pump and a hose, wherein the hose is impermeable, nonadherent with the mixture, and resistant to swelling, and the pump and the hose are sealable. In preferred embodiments, the apparatus and method can include a metering mechanism for dispensing the mixture to the pump, an agitator for mixing the mixture before it enters the pump, and a spray nozzle for applying the mixture exiting the hose. Even more preferred embodiments can include a metering mechanism in the form of a variable speed auger screw, a hose internally lined with a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene, a hose structurally reinforced, and a pump and hose that are individually sealable.

Apparatus and method for mixing and spraying high viscosity mixtures

An asphalt-based roofing shingle is disclosed that includes a substrate including at least one composite having a scrim bonded to a mat, coated with filled asphalt and granules. The scrim has woven or non-woven fiberglass or polyester strands arranged in a crossing pattern, such as a 10.times.10 thread crossing pattern per square inch, and the mat has a layer of organic, fiberglass or polyester materials, the scrim and mat being joined together with a rubberized binder or other suitable bonding material. The shingle may be used, for example, in a residential roofing application, in which a portion of a roof deck is covered by providing the shingle including the substrate and a fastening device such as a nail having a head; positioning the shingle on the roof deck portion; and driving the nail through the shingle and into the roof deck to secure the shingle to the roof deck.
