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.

Claims (70)

1. A roofing shingle comprising:

a fiberglass mat;

an asphalt shingle waste (ASW) filled coating on the fiberglass mat,

wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

asphalt,

wherein the asphalt comprises 0.1% to 40% by weight of waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt; and

50% to 70% by weight of a filler material based on a total weight of the ASW filled coating,

wherein the filler material comprises limestone;

wherein the ASW filled coating has a viscosity of 100 cP to 20,000 cP as measured in accordance with ASTM D-4402 using a Brookfield LVT viscometer at 30 RPM and at 400° F.; and

granules on the ASW filled coating.

2. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt further comprises an oxidized asphalt.

3. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt further comprises a polymer-modified asphalt.

4. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt further comprises at least one poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS) modified asphalt coating, a poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) (SEBS) modified asphalt coating, an atactic polypropylene (APP) modified asphalt coating, an isotactic polypropylene (IPP) modified asphalt coating, or any mixture thereof.

5. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

0.1% to 30% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

6. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

0.1% to 20% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

7. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

0.1% to 10% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

8. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

0.1% to 5% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

9. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

0.1% to 2% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

10. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

0.1% to 1% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

11. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

1% to 40% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

12. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

2% to 30% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

13. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

5% to 20% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

14. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt comprises:

10% to 15% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt.

15. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

30% to 50% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

16. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

30% to 45% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

17. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

30% to 40% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

18. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

35% to 45% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

19. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

55% to 70% by weight of the filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

20. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

60% to 70% by weight of the filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

21. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

55% to 65% by weight of the filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

22. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

10% to 40% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

23. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

10% to 30% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

24. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

15% to 20% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

25. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

26. A roofing shingle comprising:

a fiberglass mat;

an asphalt shingle waste (ASW) filled coating on the fiberglass mat,

wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

asphalt,

wherein the asphalt comprises 0.1 to 40% by weight of waste asphalt based on a total weight of the ASW filled coating; and

50% to 70% by weight of a filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating,

wherein the filler material comprises limestone;

wherein the ASW filled coating has a viscosity of 100 cP to 20,000 cP as measured in accordance with ASTM D-4402 using a Brookfield LVT viscometer at 30 RPM and at 400° F.; and
