Abstract

A method comprises obtaining a virgin asphalt and obtaining an asphalt shingle waste. The asphalt shingle waste comprises 5 wt. % to 40 wt. % of asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste. The asphalt shingle waste comprises 60 wt. % to 95 wt. % of limestone, granules, and/or impurities based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste. The method comprises obtaining a phase modifier. The method comprises mixing the virgin asphalt, the asphalt shingle waste, and the phase modifier to form an asphalt mixture. The phase modifier is present in an amount of 0.25 wt. % to 25 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture. The asphalt mixture is configured to be applied to a roof substrate to obtain a roofing shingle.

Claims (38)

1. A method, comprising:

obtaining an oxidized asphalt;

obtaining a briquette,

wherein the briquette comprises:

a pressurized asphalt shingle waste powder comprising an asphalt shingle waste powder from any form of discarded asphalt shingle, wherein the asphalt shingle waste powder comprises:

limestone, and

5 wt. % to 40 wt. % of a waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste powder;

obtaining a phase modifier;

mixing the oxidized asphalt, the briquette, and the phase modifier to form an asphalt mixture,

wherein the asphalt mixture comprises 0.1 wt. % to 10 wt. % of the phase modifier based on a total weight of the asphalt mixture; and

forming a roofing shingle comprising the asphalt mixture.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier is present in an amount of 0.1 wt. % to 5 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier is present in an amount of 0.1 wt. % to 3 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier is present in an amount of 0.1 wt. % to 2 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier is present in an amount of 0.1 wt. % to 1 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier is present in an amount of 1 wt. % to 3 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier is present in an amount of 0.25 wt. % to 2 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oxidized asphalt is present in an amount of 65 wt. % to 99 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oxidized asphalt is present in an amount of 70 wt. % to 95 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oxidized asphalt is present in an amount of 75 wt. % to 95 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oxidized asphalt is present in an amount of 80 wt. % to 95 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oxidized asphalt is present in an amount of 75 wt. % to 90 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oxidized asphalt is present in an amount of 80 wt. % to 90 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the waste asphalt is present in an amount of 1 wt. % to 30 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the waste asphalt is present in an amount of 1 wt. % to 25 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the waste asphalt is present in an amount of 5 wt. % to 30 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the waste asphalt is present in an amount of 5 wt. % to 25 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the waste asphalt is present in an amount of 5 wt. % to 20 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the waste asphalt is present in an amount of 10 wt. % to 25 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the waste asphalt is present in an amount of 10 wt. % to 20 wt. % based on the total weight of the asphalt mixture.

21. The method of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste powder comprises 5 wt. % to 30 wt. % of the waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste powder.

22. The method of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste powder comprises 5 wt. % to 25 wt. % of the waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste powder.

23. The method of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste powder comprises 60 wt. % to 95 wt. % of limestone and impurities based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste powder.

24. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier comprises a pine chemical additive.

25. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier comprises a pine chemical additive derived from crude tall oil.

26. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier comprises a renewable oil.

27. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase modifier comprises at least one of a pine chemical additive, a renewable oil, or any combination thereof.

28. The method of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste powder further comprises at least one impurity, wherein the at least one impurity comprises at least one of fiberglass mat sand, fines, marker paint, sealant, adhesives, tape, plastic debris, paper debris, soil, wood, nails, or any combination thereof.
