Abstract

Disclosed is a multiple layer substrate that can be used with a top asphalt applicator that eliminates the need for a bottom asphalt applicator and fines applied to the bottom asphalt layer. A low porosity or impermeable bottom layer prevents the flow of asphalt applied to the porous top layers of the substrate from penetrating the bottom surface. This eliminates the need for fines to prevent sticking of shingles in a shingle stack. In addition, substrate layers that combine fiberglass and polyester fibers in various configurations provide a substrate that can be used in typical shingle manufacturing and manufacturing of waterproofing products that is impact resistant.

Claims (36)

1. A laminated multiple layer composite sheet of substrate material for use in asphalt waterproofing products comprising:

a first sheet of substrate material having a first porosity;

a second sheet of substrate material having a second porosity that is less than said first porosity;

a third sheet of substrate material having a third porosity that is less than said first porosity and said second porosity;

a first bonding agent that is disposed between said first sheet of substrate material and said second sheet of substrate material that bonds said first sheet of substrate material directly to said second sheet of substrate material, said first sheet of substrate material disposed adjacent to said second sheet of substrate material so that said first sheet of substrate material is in contact with said second sheet of substrate material;

a second bonding agent that is disposed between said second sheet of substrate material and said third sheet of substrate material that bonds said second sheet of substrate material directly to said third sheet of substrate material, said second sheet of substrate material disposed adjacent to said third sheet of substrate material so that said second sheet of substrate material is in contact with said third sheet of substrate material, said first sheet of substrate material, said second sheet of substrate material, and said third sheet of substrate material thereby forming said laminated multiple layer composite.

2. The multiple layer sheet of claim 1 wherein said first sheet of substrate material is a low permeability layer, said second sheet of substrate material is cellulose fiber and said third sheet of substrate material is fiberglass.

3. The multiple layer sheet of claim 1 wherein said first sheet of substrate material is a low permeability layer, said second sheet of substrate material is felt and said third sheet of substrate material is fiberglass.

4. The multiple layer sheet of claim 1 wherein said first sheet of substrate material is a low permeability layer, said second sheet of substrate material is PET and said third sheet of substrate material is fiberglass.

5. The multiple layer sheet of claim 1 wherein said first sheet of substrate material is a low permeability layer, said second sheet of substrate material is a polyester filament web and said third sheet of substrate material is fiberglass.

6. The multiple layer sheet of claim 1 wherein said third sheet of substrate material is a liquid impermeable layer attached directly to said second sheet of substrate material.

7. A waterproofing material that is impact resistant comprising:

a first layer of substrate material having a first porosity;

a second layer of substrate material that is bonded directly to said first layer of substrate material so that said first layer of substrate material contacts said second layer of substrate material, said second layer of substrate material having a second porosity that is less than said first porosity;

a third layer of substrate material that is bonded directly to said second layer of substrate material so that said second layer of substrate material contacts said third layer of substrate material to form a multiple layer composite substrate, said third layer of substrate material having a third porosity that is less than said first porosity and said second porosity;

a first layer of asphalt that covers said first layer of substrate material.

8. The waterproofing material of claim 7 wherein said waterproofing material comprises shingles and further comprises:

a second layer of asphalt that covers said third layer of substrate material.

9. The waterproofing material of claim 7 wherein said waterproofing material comprises roll roofing.

10. The waterproofing material of claim 7 wherein said waterproofing material comprises waterproofing products.

11. The waterproofing material of claim 7 wherein said waterproofing products comprise peel and stick waterproofing products.

12. The waterproofing materials of claim 7 further comprising:

a bonding agent that bonds said first layer of substrate material to said second layer of substrate material and bonds said second layer to substrate material to said third layer of substrate material.

13. The waterproofing material of claim 7 wherein said first layer of asphalt penetrates said second layer of substrate material to said first layer of substrate material so that said first layer of asphalt is attached to said first layer of substrate by asphalt from said first layer of asphalt.

14. The waterproofing material of claim 7 wherein said first layer of substrate material is liquid impermeable.

15. The waterproofing material of claim 13 wherein said first layer of substrate material is liquid impermeable.

16. A waterproofing material that is impact resistant comprising:

a first layer of substrate material that is liquid permeable;

a second layer of substrate material that is liquid permeable and is disposed on said first laver of substrate material so that said first layer of substrate material contacts said second layer of substrate material;

a third layer of substrate material that is liquid impermeable;

liquid asphalt that is placed on said first layer of substrate material so that said liquid asphalt penetrates said first layer of substrate material and said second layer of substrate material to said third layer of substrate material and is allowed to cool to bond said third layer of substrate material to said second layer of substrate material and to bond said second layer of substrate material to said first layer of substrate material to form a layer of asphalt that is attached to said first layer of substrate material, said second layer of substrate material and said third layer of substrate material.

17. The waterproofing material of claim 16 wherein said waterproofing material comprises shingles.

18. The waterproofing material of claim 16 wherein said waterproofing material comprises roll roofing.

19. The waterproofing material of claim 16 wherein said waterproofing material comprises waterproofing products.

20. The waterproofing material of claim 19 wherein said waterproofing products comprise membrane waterproofing products.

21. The substrate material of claim 1 wherein said first layer of substrate material is fiberglass.
