Abstract
The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to articles, systems, methods of use, methods of manufacturing, and methods of packing roofing shingles with dual sealants. A shingle may comprise, in some embodiments, a headlap region comprising a top headlap surface and a back headlap surface; a buttlap region comprising a top buttlap surface and a back buttlap surface. A top headlap surface may comprise a first sealant and/or a back headlap surface may comprise a second sealant.

A shingle comprising:
- a headlap region comprising
- a top headlap surface having a first conditional sealant, and
- a back headlap surface;
- a buttlap region comprising
- a top buttlap surface, and
- a back buttlap surface having a second conditional sealant;
- wherein the first conditional sealant and/or the second conditional sealant are each formulated to have substantially no adhesiveness alone, but become adhesive upon contact with the other.
