Abstract

Non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining asphalt shingle waste (ASW) and performing grinding, screening, and separating steps on the ASW. In some embodiments, granules are removed from the ASW. In some embodiments, the method transforms ASW into ASW powder. In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into a plurality of briquettes. In some embodiments, at least one of: the ASW powder, the plurality of briquettes, or any combination thereof is fed into a mixing process that results in an ASW powder filled coating. In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into an adhesive composition.

2. The roofing underlayment of claim 1 , wherein the roofing substrate comprises at least one of glass, fiberglass, or any combination thereof.

3. The roofing underlayment of claim 1 , wherein the at least one process oil comprises at least one paraffinic oil, at least one petroleum extract, at least one vegetable oil, at least one naphthenic oil, at least one aromatic oil, at least one re-refined engine oil bottom (REOB), at least one engine oil residue (EOR), at least one re-refined heavy vacuum distillation bottom (RHVDB), at least one re-refined heavy vacuum distillation oil (RHVDO), at least one re-refined vacuum tower bottom (RVTB), at least one vacuum tower bottom (VTB), or any combination thereof.

4. The roofing underlayment of claim 1 , wherein the at least one polymer comprises at least one of a styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymer, a polyolefin, an oxidized polyethylene (OPE), a polyethylene-polypropylene elastomer, a ground tire rubber (GTR), an isotactic polypropylene (IPP), an atactic polypropylene (APP), or any combination thereof.

5. The roofing underlayment of claim 1 , wherein the ASW adhesive composition further comprises:

at least one filler,

wherein the at least one filler comprises at least one of calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, talc, limestone, perlite, silica, fumed silica, precipitated silica, quartz, aluminum trihydrate, magnesium hydroxide, colemanite, titanium dioxide, fly ash, graphene nanoparticles, carbon black, recycled rubber tires, recycled shingles, recycled thermoplastic resins, basalt, roofing granules, clay, ammonium polyphosphate, graphite, or any combination thereof.

6. The roofing underlayment of claim 1 , wherein the ASW adhesive composition further comprises:

at least one additive,

wherein the at least one additive comprises at least one of at least one wax, at least one antioxidant, ethylene-bis-stearamide (EBS), or any combination thereof.

7. The roofing underlayment of claim 1 , wherein the roofing underlayment further comprises at least one of granules, sand, or any combination thereof on the second surface of the roofing substrate.

8. The roofing underlayment of claim 1 , wherein the roofing underlayment further comprises the ASW adhesive composition on the second surface of the roofing substrate.

9. The roofing underlayment of claim 1 , further comprising a release liner on the ASW adhesive composition.

10. A roofing system comprising:

a roof deck;

a roofing underlayment on the roof deck, wherein the roofing underlayment comprises:

a roofing substrate,

wherein the roofing substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;

an asphalt shingle waste (ASW) adhesive composition on the first surface of the roofing substrate,

wherein the ASW adhesive composition comprises:

10% to 60% by weight of an ASW asphalt based on a total weight of the ASW adhesive composition;

20% to 70% by weight of at least one process oil based on the total weight of the ASW adhesive composition;

0.5% to 30% by weight of at least one polymer based on the total weight of the ASW adhesive composition;
