Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid composite construction material and a process for creating it. The substrate used to create the new hybrid material has the same compound applied on at least the side lap area on the top side of the substrate and at least a portion of the back side of the substrate. The substrate can be pre-saturated with a selected compound prior to applying the same compound on at least the side lap area on the top side of the substrate and at least a portion of the back side of the substrate. The processes to create the product and other embodiments is also disclosed.

Abstract: A multifunctional composition uses a unique back surfacing that is a parting agent for improved protection during storage and transportation, that protects the exposed surface from asphaltic staining and transfer of the back surfacing to the exposed or top surface of the material, that can be used on all types of asphaltic compounds including plastic and rubber modified bitumen and that can be applied using convention application techniques like heat welding, hot mopping molten asphalt or the like and cold applied mastics and cements or the like.

Abstract: The apparatus and process disclosed relates to the application of a pattern on a material such as roof covering or siding where the surface is coated with media to create a three dimensional pattern. The 3-D pattern is created in multiple detailed steps so that the width of the pattern can be of an adjustable size in order to make the pattern more diverse and variable. The apparatus and method disclosed herein utilizes a series of applicator units which apply media in a pattern or without a specific pattern onto the material. The first applicator unit is designed to be the master applicator unit. Each applicator unit can include a separate drive or motor. The apparatus and process disclosed incorporates one or more slave applicator units. These slave pattern applicator units with slave pattern applicator rolls are synchronized to the master pattern applicator roll located in the master applicator unit.

Abstract: A coating composition for granular roofing has a liquid phase, such as a water, vinyl copolymer or a modified acrylic, and a material with high reflectance, such as CaCO3, TiO2, ceramic microspheres, nano-particles, talc dispersed therein to yield a low-viscosity coating. The coating is applied to a granular surface in a thin layer that does not significantly disturb the granular aesthetics, but covers the base material, e.g., modified bitumen, at least partially, to increase the overall reflectivity of the material. In some embodiments, the coating improves the physical integrity of the granular surface and increases resistance to environmental effects and may perform a pigment function. In one embodiment, the coating is applied as a powder followed by the application of a liquid. In another embodiment, the coating includes a water repellant.

Abstract: A dual-compound multi-protective-layer roofing material includes a factory-applied layer of SBS-modified bitumen compound on a lower layer, an APP-modified bituminous on an upper layer, and a carrier sheet disposed between the SBS-modified lower layer and the APP-modified upper layer.

Abstract: A self-adhesive ventilating modified bituminous roofing composite in which the release liner is printed with a transfer chemical such that upon removal of the release liner, the adhesive portion of the membrane is rendered non-adhesive in a pattern that provides ventilation pathways that allow for the lateral escape of pressure or latent moisture once the substrate is affixed to the roofing surface, thereby extending the life of the roofing system.

Abstract: A roofing material having release tape having a substrate with adhesive capable of transfer from the substrate to the roofing material, and a method of producing same.

Abstract: A self-adhering modified bituminous roofing tile underlayment material for tile roof assemblies that comprises an APP modified bitumen compound on the front side, and a factory-applied self-adhesive compound on the back side of a reinforcement carrier sheet, and granules embedded on the APP modified bitumen compound to provide a non-skid surface.

Abstract: A self-adhering modified bituminous underlayment for metal roof assemblies that comprises an APP modified bitumen compound on the front side, and a factory-applied self-adhesive compound on the back side of a reinforcement carrier sheet, and a fabric at least partially embedded in the APP modified bitumen compound to provide a non-skid surface.

Abstract: A self-adhering modified bituminous roof covering composite that comprises a thermoplastic (APP), elastomeric (SBS) or TPO modified bitumen compound on the front side, and a factory-applied self-adhesive compound on the back side of a reinforcement carrier sheet, with factory-applied tracts of adhesive on the side lap and end lap sections of each roll to enhance adhesion.

Abstract: A self-adhesive ventilating modified bituminous composite that comprises an unmodified bituminous or a polymer modified bituminous compound on the front side and a self-adhesive bituminous compound on the backside of a reinforcement carrier sheet is provided. A transfer lacquer printed release liner is applied to the tacky self-adhesive layer during manufacture. The transfer lacquer printed release liner is removed from the membrane just prior to use, such that the exposed surface of the membrane is placed directly onto the upper surface of the roof deck, base sheet or underlayment; force is applied directly to the sheet to enhance the adhesive bond between the tacky self-adhesive compound and the underlying substrate at approximately 50% of the area of contact in order to achieve a ‘partially-adhering’ membrane.
