a roofing substrate,
wherein the roofing substrate comprises concrete, and
wherein the roofing substrate comprises a top surface;
a roofing membrane adhered to the roofing substrate; and
an adhesive on the top surface of the roofing substrate,
wherein the adhesive adheres the roofing membrane to the roofing substrate,
wherein the adhesive has a pattern,
wherein the adhesive comprises a silane-terminated polymer, and
wherein the pattern comprises a spatter pattern.
2 . The roofing system according to claim 1 , wherein the spatter pattern comprises a randomized pattern of adhesive.
3 . The roofing system according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive covers from 40% to 60% of the top surface of the roofing substrate.
4 . The roofing system according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is a moisture-cure adhesive.
5 . The roofing system according to claim 1 , wherein the roofing membrane comprises thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Styrene-Butadien-Styrene (SBS) modified bitumen, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), or any combination thereof.
