Patent number: 10865566Abstract: A shingle includes a substrate, a surface layer of granules, a backdust layer, an adhesive, and a hydrophobic material. Asphalt is applied to the substrate to form a first asphalt coating on the top or upper surface of the substrate and a second asphalt coating on the bottom or lower surface of the substrate. A surface layer of granules is embedded in the first asphalt coating. A backdust layer of particles is embedded in the second asphalt coating. A adhesive is disposed on the backdust layer. The hydrophobic material is applied to the adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Owens Coming Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: William Smith, Scott Schweiger, Jonathan Verhoff, Ozma Lane, Kevin Click, Daniel Buckwalter

Publication number: 20200354282Abstract: A roofing membrane is provided that includes at least one substrate at least partially impregnated with a first asphalt coating composition and a liquid parting agent emulsion applied to the upper surface of the asphalt-coated substrate. The liquid parting agent emulsion comprises one or more thermoplastic polymers and about 15 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of at least one mineral filler, based on the weight of the total solids in the emulsion. The first asphalt coating composition is free of oxidized asphalt.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2019Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: Scott Schweiger, Jonathan Verhoff, Jesse Gadley

Publication number: 20090075050Abstract: A reinforced chopped strand mat formed of a plurality of chopped reinforcement fibers and at least one continuous element positioned in a substantially parallel orientation in the machine direction is provided. In the reinforced chopped strand mat, the fibers are dispersed in a randomly oriented configuration at least partially surrounding the continuous elements. In preferred embodiments, the continuous element is either a wet continuous glass strand or a dry continuous yarn. The continuous elements are positioned within the chopped strand mat in a parallel or substantially parallel orientation and may be substantially equidistant from each other or irregularly spaced. Desirably, the continuous elements are equidistantly spaced about 0.25 inches to about 3 inches apart. The continuous elements simultaneously improve tensile strength and tear strength of the reinforced chopped strand mat. Methods of forming the reinforced chopped strand mat are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2007Publication date: March 19, 2009Inventors: Leonard J. Adzima, Annabeth Law, Scott Schweiger

Publication number: 20060103045Abstract: A method for incorporating wet use chopped strand glass (WUCS) in a screw extrusion process is provided. A polymeric resin is added to an extruder in a polymer feed zone and conveyed to a first compression zone where the resin is at least partially melted. The molten resin is conveyed to a high volume zone where WUCS fibers are added. In the high volume zone, the flights of the screw may have a greater pitch to facilitate the introduction of the WUCS into the extruder. The molten resin/fiber mixture is conveyed to a second compression zone where the resin and fibers are intimately compounded. Next, the molten resin/fiber mass is conveyed to a low pressure zone where moisture evaporated from the fibers is released through an opening. The resin/fiber mixture is then conveyed through a compression/die feed zone to further compound and mix the resin and fibers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2004Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Frank O'Brien-Bernini, Donn Vermilion, Scott Schweiger, Brian Guhde, William Graham, George Walrath, Leslie Morris
