Publication number: 20070020436Abstract: An algae resistant roofing material includes a portion that is normally exposed when the roofing material is installed on a roof. The exposed portion of the roofing material includes a substrate coated with a coating. The coating includes an upper surface that is positioned above the substrate when the roofing material is installed on the roof. The roofing material also includes an application of metallic particles applied to the upper surface of the coating. The metallic particles include at least one ingredient that inhibits the growth of algae. The metallic particles have a large surface area characterized by at least one of the following: (a) a mean Particle Irregularity Factor of at least 1.5; (b) a mean apparent density of not greater than 3.5 g/cm3; and (c) a mean specific surface area of at least 0.02 m2/g.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2006Publication date: January 25, 2007Inventors: Yihsien Teng, Marc Kuttler, Lawrence Grubka
