Abstract

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an roofing shingle comprising a low penetration point asphalt reinforced glass mat. In some embodiments, the reinforced glass mat comprises a glass mat and a reinforcement material. In some embodiments, the glass mat comprises a web of glass fibers. In some embodiments, the reinforcement material is embedded into the web of glass fibers of the glass mat. In some embodiments, the reinforced glass mat comprises a sufficient amount of the reinforcement material, so as to result in a nail shank shear resistance of 13 lbs to 17 lbs, according to ASTM 1761 at 140° F. Methods of making the roofing shingle and methods of forming a roofing shingle from the roofing shingle are also disclosed herein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A roofing shingle, comprising:
a reinforced glass mat, wherein the reinforced glass mat comprises:
a glass mat, wherein the glass mat comprises a web of glass fibers; and
a first asphalt coating on at least a portion of the glass mat, wherein the first asphalt coating is at least partially embedded into the web of glass fibers,
wherein the first asphalt coating comprises low penetration point asphalt,
wherein low penetration point asphalt is asphalt that has a penetration point ranging from 0 mm to 10 mm according to ASTM D-5 at 77° F.; and

a second asphalt coating surrounding the first asphalt coating,
wherein the second asphalt coating is different from the first asphalt coating,
wherein the penetration point of the second asphalt coating ranges from 15 mm to 45 mm according to ASTM D-5 at 77° F.;

wherein the reinforced glass mat comprises the first asphalt coating in a sufficient amount, so as to result in the reinforced glass mat having a nail shank shear resistance of 13 lbs to 17 lbs, according to ASTM 1761 at 140° F.

2. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the first asphalt coating is an oxidized asphalt coating comprising at least one filler.

3. The roofing shingle of claim 2 , wherein the at least one filler is present in an amount of 1 wt % to 70 wt % based on a total weight of the oxidized asphalt coating.

4. The roofing shingle of claim 3 , wherein the at least one filler is limestone powder, calcium carbonate powder, sand, granules, fly ash, fiberglass particles, stone dust, impurities, or any combination thereof.

5. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the sufficient amount of the first asphalt coating in the roofing shingle ranges from 5 wt % to 40 wt % based on a total weight of the roofing shingle.

6. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the second asphalt coating is an oxidized asphalt coating, a polymer modified asphalt coating, or any combination thereof.

7. The roofing shingle of claim 6 , wherein the second asphalt coating comprises at least one filler.

8. The roofing shingle of claim 5 , wherein the second asphalt coating does not comprise at least one filler.

9. The roofing shingle of claim 5 , comprising a plurality of granules, wherein the plurality of granules is embedded in the first asphalt coating, embedded in the second asphalt coating, or any combination thereof.

10. The roofing shingle of claim 9 , wherein the roofing shingle includes a headlap portion, and wherein the first asphalt coating or the second asphalt coating is not present on the headlap portion.

11. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the roofing shingle includes a headlap portion, and wherein the second asphalt coating is present on the headlap portion.

12. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein an entirety of the roofing shingle has a uniform thickness.

13. The roofing shingle of claim 1 , wherein the roofing shingle includes a nail zone, and wherein the first asphalt coating or the second asphalt coating is present in the nail zone.

14. The roofing shingle of claim 13 , wherein the first asphalt coating or the second asphalt coating is present in at least one portion of the roofing shingle other than the nail zone.
