Abstract

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining a base formulation, obtaining an activator formulation, mixing the base formulation with the activator formulation, so as to result in a liquid applied roofing formulation, applying the liquid applied roofing formulation to at least one steep slope roof substrate, and solidifying the formulation, so as to form at least one coating layer on the at least one steep slope roof substrate. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a liquid applied roofing formulation comprising a first part and a second part. In some embodiments, the first part comprises the base formulation and the second part comprises the activator formulation.

Claims (26)

1. A system comprising:

at least one steep slope roof substrate; and

an underlayment on the at least one steep slope roof substrate,

wherein the underlayment comprises a cured coating layer,

wherein the cured coating layer, when tested at a thickness of 30 mil on the at least one steep slope roof substrate,

a) passes the Class A UL790 fire resistance test; and

b) passes the ASTM D1970 nail sealability test.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one steep slope roof substrate is a roof deck.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one steep slope roof substrate comprises a roofing membrane.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one steep slope roof substrate comprises a plywood substrate.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one steep slope roof substrate has a pitch of Y/X, where Y and X are in a ratio of 4:12 to 12:12.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one steep slope roof substrate has a pitch of Y/X, where Y and X are in a ratio of 4:12 to 8:12.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one steep slope roof substrate has a pitch of Y/X, where Y and X are in a ratio of 8:12 to 12:12.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one steep slope roof substrate has a pitch of Y/X, where Y and X are in a ratio of 6:12 to 10:12.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underlayment directly contacts the at least one steep slope roof substrate.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underlayment has a thickness of 1 mil to 100 mils.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underlayment has a thickness of 1 mil to 50 mils.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underlayment has a thickness of 50 mil to 100 mils.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underlayment has a thickness of 10 mils to 90 mils.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the underlayment has a thickness of 20 mils to 80 mils.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cured coating layer comprises at least two cured coating sublayers.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cured coating layer has a thickness of 1 mil to 100 mils.

17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cured coating layer has a thickness of 1 mil to 50 mils.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cured coating layer has a thickness of 50 mil to 100 mils.

19. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cured coating layer has a thickness of 10 mils to 90 mils.

20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cured coating layer has a thickness of 20 mils to 80 mils.
