Abstract
Magnetic-responsive compositions for roofing materials are provided. A composition comprises a polymer and a magnetic-responsive additive. The magnetic-responsive additive, when subjected to a magnetic field, is aligned in a horizontal direction sufficient to increase a reflectivity of the composition upon curing to form a roofing material. A kit comprising a composition and a roller device is provided. The roller device comprising a roller, wherein the roller contains a magnetic array. Related systems and related methods are also provided.
Claims10
A method of installation comprising:
- obtaining a composition,
- wherein the composition comprises:
- a polymer,
- wherein the polymer comprises at least one of a polysiloxane, a silyl-terminated polymer, or any combination thereof;
- and
- 1% to 50% by weight of a magnetic-responsive additive based on a total weight of the composition;
- obtaining a roller device,
- wherein the roller device comprises a roller;
- wherein the roller contains a magnetic array,
- wherein the magnetic array is configured to apply a directional magnetic field;
- contacting the roller of the roller device with the composition, so as to:
- spread the composition onto at least a portion of a surface of a roofing substrate;
- and
- magnetically align at least a portion of the magnetic-responsive additive in a horizontal orientation;
- and
- curing the composition, so as to obtain a cured roofing membrane.
