Underlayments for steep slope roof substrates and related methods
Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining a base formulation, obtaining an activator formulation, mixing the base formulation with the activator formulation, so as to result in a liquid applied roofing formulation, applying the liquid applied roofing formulation to at least one steep slope roof substrate, and solidifying the formulation, so as to form at least one coating layer on the at least one steep slope roof substrate. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a liquid applied roofing formulation comprising a first part and a second part. In some embodiments, the first part comprises the base formulation and the second part comprises the activator formulation.
1. A system comprising:
at least one steep slope roof substrate,
an underlayment on the at least one steep slope roof substrate,
wherein the underlayment is a cured coating layer,
wherein the cured coating layer comprises:
at least one flame retardant,
at least one crosslinked acrylic polymer, and
water.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one steep slope roof substrate is a roof deck.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underlayment has a thickness of 1 mil to 100 mil.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one flame retardant is present in an amount of 1 wt % to 60 wt % based on a total weight of the cured coating layer.
