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.

Claims (45)

1. A roofing system comprising:

a roofing substrate; and

an asphalt shingle waste (ASW) sealant composition,

wherein the ASW sealant composition is located on the roofing substrate;

wherein the ASW sealant composition comprises:

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

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

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

wherein the ASW sealant composition is substantially free of virgin asphalt.

2. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the roofing substrate comprises at least one of a plywood substrate, a glass substrate, a fiberglass substrate, a cellulosic substrate, a roofing shingle, a roofing underlayment, a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membrane, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane, a roof deck, a photovoltaic (PV) panel, a modified bitumen (MODBIT) substrate, or any combination thereof.

3. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the roofing substrate comprises a roofing shingle.

4. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the ASW sealant composition comprises 30% to 60% by weight of the ASW asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW sealant composition.

5. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the ASW sealant composition comprises 40% to 70% by weight of the at least one process oil based on the total weight of the ASW sealant composition.

6. The roofing system 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.

7. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the ASW sealant composition comprises 0.5% to 20% by weight of the at least one polymer based on the total weight of the ASW sealant composition.

9. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the ASW sealant composition further comprises:

0.1% to 10% by weight of at least one second polymer based on a total weight of the ASW sealant composition,

wherein the at least one second polymer is different from the at least one polymer.

10. The roofing system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one second 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.
