## Abstract

Asphalt sealcoats and asphalt shingle waste coatings for roofing materials are provided. A roofing material comprises a substrate having an exposed surface and an unexposed surface. An asphalt shingle waste coating is located on at least a portion of the exposed surface of the substrate. The asphalt shingle waste coating comprises an asphalt shingle waste, wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt and a limestone. An asphalt sealcoat is located on at least a portion of the asphalt shingle waste coating. The asphalt sealcoat is substantially free of the asphalt shingle waste. The asphalt sealcoat has a thickness of no greater than 50% of a thickness of the asphalt shingle waste coating.
