Abstract
An impact resistant shingle is provided, wherein the base mat is impregnated with an asphaltic material, with an asphaltic material on the upper surface of the shingle, and wherein another asphaltic material is disposed on the rear surface of the shingle, which other asphaltic material is softer with greater elongation than the asphaltic material used elsewhere in the shingle, such that crack resistance is afforded because energy from impact on the shingle is dissipated.
Description
- This is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/021,573 filed Dec. 23, 2004, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/871,911, filed Jun. 18, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,118,794, which in turn is a continuation of Ser. No. 10/288,747, filed Nov. 6, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,758,019, the complete disclosures of all of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- It is known in the shingle art that today's shingles are generally made of a base mat of fibrous construction, most usually of fiberglass construction, that is impregnated with an asphaltic material. The asphaltic material, generally bitumen, of some formulation is disposed on the upper surface of the base mat, and serves to adhere a layer of mineral granules into the asphaltic material on the upper surface of the base mat. Generally such occurs over the entirety of the upper surface of the shingle, but, such mineral granules can, if desired, be applied only to a visible portion of the upper surface of the shingle, to be visible in the installed condition, and to be subject to elements of weather in the installed condition.
- Generally, the rear or lower surface of the shingle also has a layer of asphaltic material, and usually has a fine layer of mineral granules, such as sand, talc, mica, or other mineral granules disposed on the lower surface of the shingle.
- It has been found that when shingles that have been installed on a roof are subjected to various kinds of impacts, such as falling tree branches, workman walking on the shingles, or hail stones striking the shingles, especially during cold weather conditions, cracks can develop in the lower surface of the shingle as a result of such impacts.
- The present invention is directed to an impact resistant shingle, in which an asphaltic material impregnates the base mat of the shingle and the upper surface of the shingle, but wherein an additional layer of a modified asphaltic material, having greater ability to resist cracking than that of the principal asphaltic material and being softer than the principal asphaltic material, is provided, such that the softer asphaltic material is on the rear surface of the shingle that faces the roof on which the shingle is to be applied. When impacts from hail stones, tree branches, walking, or any other impacts are applied against an upper surface of a shingle that is installed on the roof, the softer asphaltic material on the rear surface of the shingle provides a means for dissipating at least some of the impact, whereby crack formation on the lower surface of the shingle is avoided. The modified asphaltic material should have the ability to dissipate mechanical energy. A polymer modified asphalt can have such ability, such that it can resist cracking because it yields or flexes when sharply struck, rather than fracturing.
- Accordingly, it is a primary object of this invention to provide a shingle having a softer, impact-resistant layer of modified asphaltic material on its lower surface, that has a greater ability to resist cracking and a greater ability to dissipate energy under conditions in which the upper surface of the shingle is subjected to impact, than the other asphaltic material that is used in the manufacture of the shingle.
- It is another object of this invention to accomplish the above object, wherein a layer of reinforcing material is applied to the rear surface of the shingle.
- Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the reading of the following brief descriptions of the drawing figures, the detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiments, and the appended claims.
- Thus, the present invention is directed toward providing a modified asphaltic material on the lower surface of the shingle, below the base mat, and preferably just above or below the layer of sand, talc, mica or other fine mineral application to the shingle or an application of a fabric, paper, film, scrim or the like, such that the asphaltic material applied to the lower surface of the shingle, being softer, has an ability to resist cracking and an ability to dissipate energy to a greater extent than the asphaltic material that generally comprises most or all of the asphaltic material used in the rest of the shingle.

FIG. 1 , wherein a shingle is shown, generally designated by thenumeral 10. Theshingle 10 is comprised of anupper headlap portion 11 andlower tab portions 12, with the tab portions being four in number. Thevarious tab portions 12 are spaced apart by slottedopenings 13. - The
upper headlap portion 11 is that which is disposed above the upper ends of the slotted openings 14. Left andright edges shingle 10 have partial cut-outs shingles 10 are aligned left-to-right, portions of slottedopenings - With reference to the shingle of
FIGS. 2 and 2A , theshingle 10 has respective upper andlower surfaces base mat 17 of preferably fiberglass mat construction, although the same can be comprised of organic mat, or fibered polymeric mat construction (or a construction comprised of combinations thereof), if desired. Themat 17 is impregnated with a firstasphaltic material 18, typically having a softening point between about 100° F. and 160° F. when used with an organic mat and between about 190° F. and 240° F. when used with a fiberglass mat. Theasphaltic material 18 preferably has a hardness as measured by penetration at 77° F. greater than about 30 dmm when used with an organic mat and a hardness greater than about 18 dmm when used with a glass mat. Disposed above the impregnatedmat asphaltic material 20 which, may or may not be of the same asphaltic material construction as theasphaltic material 18. If desired, theasphaltic materials - Irrespective of whether the
asphaltic materials mineral granules 21, which can, if desired, serve to deflect heat, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet rays, and which can provide a desired color or pigmentation to theshingle 10. - Below the asphaltic impregnated
mat numeral 22. Theasphaltic material layer 22 is asphaltic material that is modified relative to theasphaltic materials asphaltic material asphaltic material 22 can also be referred to as having a lower elastic modulus than that of theasphaltic materials - The
layer 22 of modified asphaltic material can be provided directly to the asphalt impregnatedmat 18, or to another intermediate coating of asphaltic material that has been applied to the impregnatedmat 18, via lick-on, roll-on, fused powder-coating or spray-on techniques, or otherwise, as may be desired. More than one impact resistant layer or a number ofdissipative layers 22 may be used. - Preferably, the
layer 22 of modified asphaltic material underlies the entire lower area of theshingle 10, or at least underlies the entire exposed portion of the shingle. - The modified asphaltic material of
layer 22 should not be so soft as to create problems of sticking to an adjacent shingle when shingles are stacked together under warm conditions; however, such a concern, should it arise, could be alleviated by alayer 23 of fine granules, such as sand, talc, mica or the like, or alternatively, a release paper, orliner 23 a, other parting agent or layer of fabric, paper, plastic film or the like optionally applied beneath thelayer 22, for assuring separation between adjacent stacked shingles. Thelayer layer 22 of modified asphaltic material can optionally have self-adhesive properties for allowing the product to be adhered to a roofing substrate. In such an embodiment, thelayer 22 will preferably be provided with a release paper ortape 23 a, or other parting agent, to allow stacking of the shingles prior to adhering them to a roofing substrate, after removal of the release agent to expose the self-adhesive layer 22. - The modified asphaltic material of
layer 22 will preferably have a finite yield point and viscosity that is sufficiently high that thematerial 22 does not flow when in a packaged state, nor whenshingles 10 are installed on a steep-sloped roof in hot, sunny weather when they can be subjected to internal or surface temperatures in the range of 140° F. to 180° F. - In the present invention, the modified
asphaltic material 22 preferably has greater elongation or extensibility than thematerial 18. The improved elongation is preferably exhibited even at low temperatures, such as, for example, 30° F. The improved elongation can be a result of the presence of additives which also enhance the ductility at low temperatures and contribute greater resistance to changes in properties as a function of time or temperature than theasphaltic material 18. Preferably, the elongation of the modifiedasphaltic material 22 is at least two percent, even after extensive exterior exposure, such as that simulated by accelerated ageing carried out by storing shingles made with the modified asphaltic material at 158° F. for at least 10 weeks. - Preferably, however, the modified asphaltic material is not so soft that its penetration at 77° F. is greater than about 150 dmm, as measured according to ASTM D-5. Further, it is preferred that the lower surface of the modified asphaltic material be non-adhesive at ambient temperatures, reducing the likelihood that the improved shingles will become stuck together during shipment and prior to installation, or that the modified asphaltic material will become dislodged by handling during installation or subsequently thereto. Optionally, when a roofing product having self-adhesive properties in the modified asphalt material is desired, a removable or peelable release liner in film or sheet form may be applied to the lower surface of the shingle, so as to prevent sticking together of the shingles during shipment or prior to installation, and subsequently removed when applying the roofing product to a roof substrate.
- It is preferred that enhanced temperature elongation be achieved by including in the modified asphaltic material a composition comprising one or more additives selected from elastomers, plasticizers, and resins, and blends thereof. Preferably, the elastomer is selected from natural rubber and thermoplastic elastomers, including styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, and styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer. The formulation can also include one or more antioxidants, and additional components such as oils.
- The modified asphaltic material has greater elongation at low temperatures, such as about 32° F., than the
asphaltic material 18 and retains an elongation at 32° F. of at least two percent even after years of exterior exposure, such that theshingle 10 shows no cracking under impact. - The modified
asphaltic material 22 may also have a lower modulus, especially at low temperatures, than theasphaltic material 18. That is, the modified asphaltic material is more extensible, as measured for example by the absence of cracking under stress or impact conditions in which thematerial 18 would crack. In particular, the modifiedasphaltic material 22 preferably has an elongation at break at low temperature, such as at 30° F., of at least two percent, even after accelerated ageing simulating years of exterior exposure, such as at least ten weeks of storage at 158° F. The modified asphaltic material will also be initially softer or have a lower initial modulus than thematerial 18, as measured for example by a higher penetration, particularly at higher temperatures. However, in non-self-adhesive applications, the modifiedasphaltic material 22 is preferably not so soft so as to be tacky or adhesive under ambient conditions, and preferably is not so soft as to “scuff” or suffer mechanical damage from handling during installation. - Under actual exterior exposure or simulated exterior exposure by accelerated ageing, it is often found that the modulus of asphaltic materials tends to increase such that the material becomes harder. The increase in modulus is often accompanied by a decrease in extensibility or elongation. As “toughness” conventionally refers to the area under a stress-strain curve, a material which requires increasing stress to attain a fixed strain as it ages can be said to be “tougher”. In the present invention, the modified
asphaltic material 22 can become tougher as it ages, provided it retains the extensibility to provide an elongation at break of at least two percent. - Preferably, the enhanced extensibility is obtained by mixing an additive, a preblended admixture, or several additives with the same type of asphaltic material used for the
asphaltic coating 18, and using this as the modifiedasphaltic material 22. For example, thematerial 18 can be a standard coating-grade asphalt (softening point 200° F.-240° F.), and the modifiedasphaltic material 22 can be prepared by mixing a jelly-like premixed asphalt modifier, such as those blends comprising from about 30 percent to 70 percent by weight of a thermoplastic block copolymer, the remainder comprising plasticizers, oils, antioxidants and the like to promote polymer/asphalt compatibility and low temperature flexibility. Examples of such asphalt modifying compositions include but are not limited to those sold by the Chemseco Division of Sika Corporation (Kansas City, Mo.) under the Sikamod™ trademark. The modifying compositions are preferably blended with the steep or coating grade asphalt at a temperature between about 300° F. and 400° F., with agitation sufficient to produce a homogeneous mixture. The choice of asphalt could also include an oxidized straight run type of asphalt that could be modified with a thermoplastic polymer. - Examples of polymeric materials which can be used include that which are known to improve the physical, low temperature, and durability performance characteristics of asphalt, such as atactic polypropylene (APP), isotactic polypropylene (IPP), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBS), chloroprene rubber (CR), natural and reclaimed rubbers, butadiene rubber (BR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), isoprene rubber (IR), styrene-polyisoprene (SI), butyl rubber, ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM), polyisobutylene (PIB), chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), styrene ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS), and vinylacetate/polyethylene (EVA). Preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, such as a block copolymer of polystyrene, polybutadiene, and polystyrene blocks is employed.
- Plasticizers may be selected from the group consisting of petroleum-derived oils, phthalate esters (or their derivatives) and mellitates. Various petroleum resins, polyolefins, rosin (or its derivatives,) tall oil, terpene and coumarone-indene resins can also be employed.
- With reference now to
FIG. 3 , it will be seen that abase mat 37 is provided, impregnated with a firstasphaltic material 38, having a layer ofasphaltic material 40 thereon, which, like the embodiment ofFIG. 2 , may or may not be the same asphaltic material as that 38, and with a layer ofgranules 41 applied thereto, similar to that of the embodiment ofFIG. 2 . Anotherlayer 42 of asphaltic material is applied beneath the impregnatedmat layer 42 may or may not be comprised of the same asphaltic material that comprises that 38 and 40. In the embodiment ofFIG. 3 , the lower layer ofasphaltic material 44 is the layer of modified asphaltic material formulated as described above forlayer 22, and having the same characteristics thereof, and which has a greater ability to resist cracking and a greater ability to dissipate energy that that oflayers layer 43 of fine granules, such as sand, talc, mica or the like, or alternatively, a release paper, other parting agent or layer of fabric, paper, plastic film or the like, is applied beneath thelayer 44. - Thus, in the embodiment of
FIG. 3 , theshingle 110 has respective upper andlower surfaces lower surfaces FIG. 2 . - With reference to
FIGS. 2A and 3A , it will be seen that the structures are the same as withFIGS. 2 and 3 , respectively, except that therear surfaces removable release liner layers release liners shingles - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , it will be seen that the rear surface of the shingle of either ofFIGS. 2 and 3 appears the same, such that the illustration ofFIG. 4 will be addressed only with respect to its relationship to the illustration ofFIG. 3 , it being understood that for purposes of the illustration ofFIG. 4 , the same description can be applied to a shingle as illustrated inFIG. 2 . - The
shingle 110, on its lower surface, is provided with a wind and/or crack-resistant reinforcement layer 50. Thelayer 50 may comprise a scrim, or thin fabric, or it may be comprised of a plastic film, paper, parchment or foil. In the case of a scrim, the scrim could be knitted, woven, non-woven, laminated scrim or the like. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 4 , thereinforcement layer 50 is shown as comprising a woven construction, involving woven strands disposed at right angles to each other, with a preferred density of for example, nine strands in the vertical direction and nine strands in the horizontal direction per square inch of reinforcement, covering the lower half of the rear surface of the shingle behind the tabs, although thelayer 50 could, cover less of the rear surface of the shingle or the entire rear surface of the shingle, if desired. Thelayer 50 could be a woven or non-woven polyester, which would tend to make it a thinner layer. Thelayer 50 is preferably not applied deeply into the asphaltic material on the lower surface of theshingle 110, but rather is preferably slightly embedded into or placed on to thesurface 28. - The
reinforcement layer 50 of scrim or other material will ordinarily not be coated on its lower surface with a bitumen or other asphaltic material, nor will it have granules applied thereto, such that any filaments of the reinforcingmaterial 50, especially those extending vertically as shown inFIG. 4 , can resist bending and resist failure in the form of the likelihood of forming horizontal cracks across the upper end of the tab portion of the shingle when the shingle is bent upwardly within its elastic limit under forces applied by winds. However, if desired a thin layer of adhesive could be applied beneath the scrim or other reinforcement layer, with small particles of granular material, for example sand or the like, applied thereto. Additionally, thereinforcement material 50 may also serve to dissipate energy from impacts on the opposite, or upper surface, thus resisting crack formation on the rear surface. The vertical and horizontal strands of thereinforcement layer 50 can be of different materials, as may be desired, or may be disposed at other angles other than 90 degrees, such as diagonal, with or without vertical or horizontal strands. Optionally, the strands of the reinforcement layer could have random orientation, as, for example, from a non-woven web. Also, optionally, portions of the strands could be knitted. - The
reinforcement material 50 may be comprised of various compositions other than fiberglass, such as polyester, and/or nylon, and thereinforcement 50 may either be slightly embedded in theasphaltic layer 44 on the rear of theshingle 110, or may be adhered to the rear of the shingle by an additional post-applied thin layer of asphaltic or non-asphaltic adhesive. - The asphaltic material that comprises the
layers - Alternatively, the
asphaltic material - It will also be seen, with reference to
FIG. 4 , that a plurality ofadhesive zones 49 can appear on therear surface 28 of the shingle, toward the lower end of the tab zone of the shingle, beneath the layer ofreinforcement material 50, such that the sealant that comprises thesealant patches 49 may bond to a next-subjacent shingle on a roof, by passing through openings in the mesh or web of thereinforcement material 50. The patches ofsealant 49 are therefore an option for the embodiment ofFIG. 4 .Such patches 49, may, if desired, be arranged in a band, as shown, and may also, optionally be as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 5,239,802, the complete disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference. - With reference now to
FIG. 5 , it will be seen that a fragmentary illustration of amulti-tab shingle 210 is illustrated as comprising a shingle portion of the prior art type. The illustration ofFIG. 5 demonstrates the result that can occur when impact against the upper surface of theshingle 210 occurs, such as being struck by a rock, tree limb, hail stone or the like, and wherein the rear orlower surface 211 of the shingle is subjected to cracking, in the form of what often occurs as partiallycircular cracks 212 along with partiallyradial cracks 213, which can result in shingle failure. - With reference to
FIG. 5A , a fragmentary illustration of ashingle 310 in accordance with the present invention, wherein a modifiedasphaltic material 312 like that 22 ofFIG. 2 , having improved energy dissipation and crack resistance, is shown on the lower or rear surface of the shingle, and wherein the shingle ofFIG. 5A has likewise been subjected to impact on its opposite surface, but wherein no crack formation is visible on the lower orrear surface 312 of the shingle ofFIG. 5A . - With reference now to
FIG. 6 , the photographic illustration of a crack, similar to that ofFIG. 5 , is shown, where an impact has caused thecrack 315 on the rear surface of the shingle. - In
FIG. 6A , a photographic illustration appears, wherein a reinforcement layer, such as a scrim, is shown in the faun of a rectangular grid on the rear surface, overlying the surface of modified asphalt layer, and wherein acircular zone 320 appears in the shingle, showing evidence of energy absorption after impact, but wherein no crack appears. The residual pattern after the impact shows movement, but not fracture within the modified asphalt layer of the shingle. - With reference to
FIG. 7 , there is illustrated a vertical sectional view, taken through a two layer laminated shingle, generally designated by the numeral 410. The shingle 410 is comprised of a full height shingle layer 411, constructed in section like the shingle ofFIG. 2 , which is adhered to a fractional layer, in this case, a substantially half-height shingle layer 412, with the layer 412 being substantially disposed against the posterior layer 413 of the shingle layer 411, below the headlap zone 414 thereof, to be disposed behind thetab zone 415 of the shingle layer 411. The half-height shingle layer 412 is likewise constructed like the shingle ofFIG. 2 , and the two shingle layers 411 and 412 are adhered together where their surfaces mate, by a suitable adhesive, at 416, disposed in layer form. One or more portions of the half-height shingle layer 412 may optionally extend below thelower edge 417 of thetab zone 415 of the shingle layer 411. Optionally, the shingle layer 412 could be a full back layer as shown in phantom inFIG. 7 , such that the entire shingle layer 412 is impact resistant. - Referring now to
FIG. 8 , it will be seen that ashingle layer 510, havinggranules 511 on its upper surface, already impregnated with an asphaltic material, is delivered along a horizontal path, in the direction of thearrow 512, oversuitable conveyor rollers 513 or the like, to pass over an applicator such as that 514 of the roller-in-tank type 515, wherein the modifiedasphaltic material 516, like that of 22 inFIG. 2 , disposed in thetank 515 is applied to the undersurface 517 of theshingle material 510, as it passes over theroller 514, rotating in the direction of thearrow 518. In this manner, a thin layer of molten asphaltic material of the modified type can be applied, generally at a factory installation, in liquid applicator form. Alternatively, an applicator capable of a spray coating or other coating application method (not shown) could be used to apply the modifiedasphaltic material 516 to the undersurface 517 of theshingle material 510. Following the application of the modifiedasphaltic material 516, the bottom side of the applied modified asphaltic layer like that of 22 ofFIG. 2 could be covered by sand, talc, mica or other fine mineral material, or by a layer fabric, polymeric film, scrim, paper or the like as 23 ofFIG. 2 . - With reference to
FIG. 9 , it will be seen that a layer ofshingle 610 havinggranules 611 on an upper surface thereof, is already fully formed, except that a layer of modifiedasphaltic material 612, like that 22 ofFIG. 2 , may be post-manufacture adhered, applied as an already-formed layer, by moving the same in the direction of thearrows 613, and applying heat, or adhesive means, to adhere thelayer 612 of modified asphaltic material, to thelower surface 614 of theshingle 610. Thus, in the embodiment ofFIG. 9 , thelayer 612 of modified asphaltic material may be provided either at the site of manufacture, or at the site of installation, as may be desired. - In either of the embodiments of
FIGS. 8 and 9 , the layer ofmaterial FIG. 9 , the energy dissipation layer could be applied to the lower surface of the shingle or to a roofing membrane. Alternatively, the energy dissipation layer could be applied to a roof substrate and the lower surface of a shingle could subsequently be applied thereto. - In accordance with this invention, it will also be seen that there is provided a method of making an impact resistant roof covering system. In accordance with such a method, a shingle is provided having a first asphaltic material that has an elasticity as determined by a first level of softness and a first level of elongation at break. A layer of a second asphaltic material that has a second softness that is softer than the softness of the first asphaltic material, and which has a second elongation at break that is greater than the elongation at break of the first asphaltic material. The second asphaltic material is applied to a roof substrate, and thereafter the shingle is applied to the roof substrate. Alternatively, the second asphaltic material can be applied to the lower surface of the shingle prior to applying the shingle to the roof substrate.
- It will be apparent from the foregoing that various modifications may be made in the details of construction, as well as in the use and operation of the present invention, all within the spirit and scope of the invention, as claimed.
