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 (60)

1 . A roofing shingle comprising:

a substrate,

wherein the substrate comprises a fiberglass mat; and

an asphalt shingle waste filled coating,

wherein the asphalt shingle waste filled coating is located on the substrate;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste filled coating comprises an oxidized asphalt, an asphalt shingle waste, and a phase modifier,

wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt, a limestone powder, granules, and impurities;

wherein the phase modifier comprises at least one of a pine chemical additive, a renewable oil, or any combination thereof;

wherein the oxidized asphalt, the asphalt shingle waste, and the phase modifier are present in an amount sufficient for the asphalt shingle waste filled coating to have at least one of:

A) a penetration point of 16 dmm to 20 dmm, at 77° F., when tested according to ASTM 3462; or

B) a softening point of 200° F. to 210° F. when tested according to ASTM D3461.

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

60% to 95% by weight of the limestone powder, granules, and impurities based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste; and

5% to 40% by weight of the waste asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste.

3 . The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste filled coating further comprises:

at least one filler,

wherein the at least one filler comprises limestone.

4 . The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste filled coating has a softening point of 200° F. to 205° F. when tested according to ASTM D3461.

5 . The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste filled coating has a penetration point of 16 dmm to 19 dmm, at 77° F., when tested according to ASTM 3462.

6 . The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste filled coating has a penetration point of 16 dmm to 18 dmm, at 77° F., when tested according to ASTM 3462.
