Abstract: A method for generating a shingle roofing coating is described. The method includes mixing 1% by weight to 20% by weight of an elastomeric polymer with an asphalt flux to generate a concentrate. The concentrate is then heated and mixed with an oxidized asphalt feedstock. The mixture of the concentrate and oxidized asphalt is then heated to generate the shingle roofing coating. The shingle roofing coating includes between 10% by weight and 30% by weight of the concentrate and between 0.1% by weight and 6% by weight of the elastomeric polymer.

Abstract: A method for generating a shingle roof coating is described. The method includes receiving an asphalt feedstock and separately proceeds to mix an elastomeric polymer and an asphalt flux to generate a first concentrate. The first concentrate is then heated separately from the asphalt feedstock. The method then mixes the first concentrate with the asphalt feedstock and heats the combined first concentrate and the asphalt feedstock to generate the shingle roof coating. The amount of elastomeric polymer in the first concentrate is adjusted based on the type of asphalt feedstock such that the resulting shingle roof coating includes 0.5% to 6% by weight of the elastomeric polymer.

Abstract: An asphalt composition for use as a shingle roof coating is described. The asphalt composition includes a first asphalt feedstock and a first concentrate. The first concentrate includes an elastomeric polymer and an asphalt flux. The asphalt composition includes 0.5% to 6% by weight of the elastomeric polymer. The elastomeric polymer includes a styrenic block copolymer. The first concentrate includes 3% by weight to 25% by weight of the styrenic block copolymer. The first concentrate includes 3% by weight to 15% by weight of one of an ethylene polymer and an ethylene propylene copolymer. The first concentrate has a penetration of at least 100 dmm.

Abstract: An asphalt composition suitable for use as a shingle roof coating is described. The asphalt composition comprises an oxidized asphalt feedstock and a first concentrate. The oxidized asphalt feedstock has a softening point greater than 205° F. and a penetration of less than 15 dmm. The first concentrate includes an elastomeric polymer and an asphalt flux. The asphalt composition includes 1.5% to 4.5% by weight of the elastomeric polymer.

Abstract: A method and composition for generating a shingle roof coating is described. The method includes oxidizing an asphalt feedstock to a softening point greater than 205° F. and a penetration less than 15 dmm at 77° F. to generate an oxidized asphalt feedstock. The method then proceeds to mix an elastomeric polymer and an asphalt flux to generate a first concentrate. The first concentrate is then heated separately from the oxidized asphalt feedstock. The method then mixes the first concentrate with the oxidized asphalt feedstock and heats the combined first concentrate and the oxidized asphalt feedstock to generate the shingle roof coating. The amount of elastomeric polymer in the first concentrate is adjusted based on the type of asphalt feedstock such that the resulting shingle roof coating includes 0.5% to 6% by weight of the elastomeric polymer.

Abstract: A process is provided for crosslinking polymer modified asphalt compositions using a combination of a crosslink initiator, crosslink co-agent and crosslinkable polymer, to provide a process that is more reliable and more reproducible and that gives products that have a combination of properties that are superior to conventional sulfur crosslinked compositions.
