Patent number: 5447775Abstract: The present invention is a bituminous roofing composition which is especially useful to coat and/or saturate a roll roofing membrane. The composition comprises from 2 to 10 percent by weight, based on block copolymer plus bitumen, of a block copolymer of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene, from 25 to 300 parts by weight per hundred parts of said block copolymer of an endblock compatible resin which has a softening point above 100.degree. C., and the balance being a bituminous material. Preferably, the solubility parameter of the endblock resin is within 0.3 [cal/cm.sup.3 ].sup.1/2 of that of the vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon portion of the block copolymer.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 1994Date of Patent: September 5, 1995Assignee: Shell Oil CompanyInventor: Richard Gelles

Patent number: 5441998Abstract: A composition is provided which, when added to an elastomer or tackifier, renders a repulpable hot melt adhesive. The compositions consists of an alkoxylated alcohol of the formulaA-B (I)wherein A is the unit ##STR1## and B is the unit ##STR2## and further wherein R and R.sub.1 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group; R.sub.2 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl group; x is between about 1 to about 142; and y is between about 2 to about 817, provided the weight ratio of B/A+B is between 51 and 90 percent. Such adhesive compositions may further contain wax or a primary linear polymeric alcohol. When combined with an elastomer and tackifier, such adhesives are repulpable and thus have particular applicability when used in combination with recyclable paper.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1993Date of Patent: August 15, 1995Assignee: Petrolite CorporationInventors: Susan M.
