Abstract

Some embodiments relate to asphalt shingle waste coatings in roofing shingles of roofing systems. A roofing system comprises a plurality of roofing shingles. The plurality of roofing shingles, when installed on a roof substrate, comprises exposed surfaces and unexposed surfaces. The plurality of roofing shingles comprises asphalt shingle waste coatings on or only on at least one of the unexposed surfaces. The plurality of roofing shingles comprises asphalt coatings on or only on at least one of the exposed surfaces.

Claims (63)

1. A roofing system comprising:

a roof substrate; and

at least one roofing shingle,

wherein the at least one roofing shingle is located on the roof substrate;

wherein the at least one roofing shingle comprises:

an asphalt coating;

a substrate; and

an asphalt shingle waste coating;

wherein the substrate of the at least one roofing shingle is located between the asphalt coating and the asphalt shingle waste coating;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating is located between the substrate of the at least one roofing shingle and the roof substrate;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating directly contacts the roof substrate;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating comprises an asphalt shingle waste;

 wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt and a limestone;

wherein the asphalt coating is substantially free of the asphalt shingle waste;

wherein at least a portion of the asphalt coating is an exposed surface.

2. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt coating directly contacts the substrate of the at least one roofing shingle.

3. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating directly contacts the substrate of the at least one roofing shingle.

4. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the roof substrate comprises at least one of a roof deck, an underlayment, or any combination thereof.

5. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises at least one of a fiberglass mat, a polyester mat, or any combination thereof.

6. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating further comprises an asphalt;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating comprises:

1% to 99% by weight of the asphalt shingle waste based on a total weight of the asphalt and the asphalt shingle waste; and

1% to 99% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt and the asphalt shingle waste.

7. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating further comprises an asphalt;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating comprises:

30% to 60% by weight of the asphalt and the waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste coating; and

40% to 70% by weight of the limestone based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste coating.

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

10% to 70% by weight of at least one filler based on a total weight of the asphalt coating; and

30% to 90% by weight of an asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt coating.

9. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt coating comprises at least one of an oxidized asphalt, a polymer modified asphalt, or any combination thereof.

10. The roofing system of claim 9 , the polymer modified asphalt comprises at least one of a poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS), a poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-bstyrene) (SEBS), an atactic polypropylene (APP), an isotactic polypropylene (IPP), or any combination thereof.

11. A roofing shingle comprising:

an asphalt coating;

an asphalt shingle waste coating; and

a substrate;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating is located between the asphalt coating and the substrate;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating directly contacts the asphalt coating;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating directly contacts the substrate;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating comprises an asphalt shingle waste;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt and a limestone;

wherein the asphalt coating is substantially free of the asphalt shingle waste;

wherein, when the roofing shingle is installed on a roof substrate, at least a portion of the substrate of the roofing shingle directly contacts the roof substrate.

12. The roofing shingle of claim 11 , wherein the substrate comprises at least one of a fiberglass mat, a polyester mat, or any combination thereof.

13. The roofing shingle of claim 11 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating comprises 10% to 70% by weight of the limestone, with a remainder of the asphalt shingle waste coating comprising at least one of an asphalt, the waste asphalt, or any combination thereof.

14. The roofing shingle of claim 11 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating further comprises an asphalt;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating comprises:

1% to 99% by weight of the asphalt shingle waste based on a total weight of the asphalt and the asphalt shingle waste; and

1% to 99% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt and the asphalt shingle waste.

15. The roofing shingle of claim 11 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating further comprises an asphalt;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating comprises:

30% to 60% by weight of the asphalt and the waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste coating; and

40% to 70% by weight of the limestone based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste coating.

16. The roofing shingle of claim 11 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating further comprises an asphalt;

wherein the asphalt shingle waste coating comprises:

30% to 50% by weight of the asphalt and the waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste coating; and

50% to 70% by weight of the limestone based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste coating.

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

10% to 70% by weight of at least one filler based on a total weight of the asphalt coating; and

30% to 90% by weight of an asphalt based on the total weight of the asphalt coating.

18. The roofing shingle of claim 11 , wherein the asphalt coating comprises an oxidized asphalt.

19. The roofing shingle of claim 11 , wherein the asphalt coating comprises a polymer modified asphalt.

20. The roofing shingle of claim 19 , the polymer modified asphalt comprises at least one of a poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS), a poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) (SEBS), an atactic polypropylene (APP), an isotactic polypropylene (IPP), or any combination thereof.
