Abstract

A roofing material may include a substrate and a coating on the substrate. The coating may include a polymer blend and at least one filler. The polymer blend may include at least one hydrocarbon oil, at least one resin, at least one polymer, or any combination thereof. The at least one hydrocarbon oil, the at least one resin, the at least one polymer, or any combination thereof may be present in an amount or in amounts sufficient to result in the polymer blend or the coating having a select softening point, a select viscosity, or any combination thereof.

Claims (40)

1. A roofing shingle, comprising:

a substrate comprising a mat; and

a filled coating on the substrate,

wherein the filled coating comprises:

10% to 90% by weight of a polymer blend based on a total weight of the filled coating, wherein the polymer blend comprises:

at least 30% by weight of at least one hydrocarbon oil based on a total weight of the polymer blend;

at least 30% by weight of at least one resin based on the total weight of the polymer blend;

at least 1% by weight of at least one thermoplastic polymer based on the total weight of the polymer blend;

10% to 90% by weight of at least one filler based on the total weight of the filled coating;

wherein the filled coating having at least one of:

a) a softening point of at least 200° F. as measured according to ASTM D3461, or

b) a viscosity of 7000 cP or less as measured according to ASTM D4402 using a #31 spindle at 400° F.

2. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the polymer blend is present in an amount of 20% to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the filled coating.

3. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one filler is present in an amount of 50% to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the filled coating.

4. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hydrocarbon oil is present in an amount of 30% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the polymer blend.

5. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one resin is present in an amount of 30% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the polymer blend.

6. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one thermoplastic polymer is present in an amount of 5% to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the polymer blend.

7. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the softening point of the filled coating is 200° F. to 300° F.

8. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the filled coating is 1000 cP to 7000 cP.

9. A roofing system comprising:

a roofing substrate; and

a plurality of roofing shingles secured to the roofing substrate, each roofing shingle of the plurality of roofing shingles comprising:

a substrate comprising a mat; and

a filled coating on the substrate,

wherein the filled coating comprises:

10% to 90% by weight of a polymer blend based on a total weight of the filled coating, wherein the polymer blend comprises:

 at least 30% by weight of at least one hydrocarbon oil based on a total weight of the polymer blend;

 at least 30% by weight of at least one resin based on the total weight of the polymer blend;

 at least 1% by weight of at least one thermoplastic polymer based on the total weight of the polymer blend;

10% to 90% by weight of at least one filler based on the total weight of the filled coating;

wherein the filled coating having at least one of:

a) a softening point of at least 200° F. as measured according to ASTM D3461, or

b) a viscosity of 7000 cP or less as measured according to ASTM D4402 using a #31 spindle at 400° F.

10. The roofing system of claim 9 , wherein the polymer blend is present in an amount of 20% to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the filled coating.

11. The roofing system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one filler is present in an amount of 50% to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the filled coating.

12. The roofing system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one hydrocarbon oil is present in an amount of 30% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the polymer blend.

13. The roofing system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one resin is present in an amount of 30% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the polymer blend.

14. The roofing system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one thermoplastic polymer is present in an amount of 5% to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the polymer blend.

15. The roofing system of claim 9 , wherein the softening point of the filled coating is 200° F. to 300° F.

16. The roofing system of claim 9 , wherein the viscosity of the filled coating is 1000 cP to 7000 cP.
