  • System and method for manufacturing asphalt products with recycled asphalt shingles
    Patent number: 10669203
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a processed asphalt suspension is provided. The method includes dry grinding shingle waste material to a particle size of less than 1 cm, forming ground recycled shingle material, introducing virgin asphalt into a heated slurry tank and mixing the ground recycled shingle material with the virgin asphalt in the heated slurry tank, forming a mixed asphalt slurry, introducing the mixed asphalt slurry into a wet grinding machine, and recovering a processed asphalt suspension comprising particles having a size no greater than about 200 microns. Roofing and paving products manufactured from the processed asphalt suspension are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 2, 2020
    Assignee: Heritage Environmental Services, LLC

  • Polymer-modified asphalt compositions
    Patent number: 9187645
    Abstract: A modified-asphalt composition prepared by introducing a diene end-capped block copolymer with a molten asphalt composition, where the block copolymer is defined by the formula ?-(D-V-d)X where each D is independently a polydiene block, each V is independently a vinyl aromatic block, each d is a polydiene end cap, ? is a coupling moiety, and x is an integer from 2 to 10.
