  • Patent number: 11946254
    Abstract: This invention, in embodiments, relates to a roofing material comprising (a) a coated or covered substrate and (b) a single sealant applied to a surface of the coated or covered substrate, with the single sealant being free of asphalt. The single sealant exhibits a minimum activation temperature (° C.) (tan ?>1) from ?10° C. to 0° C. The single sealant is configured to adhere the roofing material to at least one of (i) an underlying roofing material, (ii) an overlying roofing material, and (iii) a roofing deck substrate.

  • Publication number: 20240084599
    Abstract: This invention, in embodiments, relates to a method of rehabilitating or remediating a roofing material that includes obtaining a roofing material and obtaining a coating composition comprising a polymeric resin and a carrier. The coating composition is (i) substantially free of water and (ii) in the form of a liquid at at least 23° F. The method further includes applying the coating composition to the roofing material to prepare a coated roofing material, and exposing the coated roofing material to a reaction generator to polymerize the coating composition and thereby solidify the coating composition on the coated roofing material.

  • Publication number: 20240082874
    Abstract: This invention, in embodiments, relates to a method of preparing a roofing material that includes obtaining a substrate and obtaining a non-foam, coating composition comprising a polymeric resin and a carrier. The coating composition is (i) substantially free of water and (ii) in the form of a liquid at at least 23° F. The method further includes applying the coating composition to a surface of the substrate to prepare a coated substrate, and exposing the coated substrate to a reaction generator to polymerize the coating composition and thereby solidify the coating composition on the coated substrate to form the roofing material.

  • Publication number: 20230366204
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a roofing material. The roofing material may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of a substrate and a coating on the substrate. In some embodiments, the coating may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of a polymer blend and at least one filler. In some embodiments, the polymer blend may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of at least one hydrocarbon oil, at least one resin, at least one polymer, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the at least one hydrocarbon oil, the at least one resin, the at least one polymer, or any combination thereof may be present in an amount or in amounts sufficient to result in the polymer blend or the coating having a select softening point, a select viscosity, or any combination thereof.
