Abstract
An adhesive is provided for adhering roofing shingles wherein the adhesive is a blend of asphalt, an elastomer, a tackifying resin and a petroleum oil.
Claims5
An asphalt-based roofing sheet having superposed thereon an adhesive composition, for retaining the tabs of shingles against windlift at temperatures of about 50.degree. F. and greater, a contact surface, and a release material, and wherein said adhesive is one comprising a blend of asphalt, an elastomer containing about 80% triblock styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer and about 20% diblock styrene-butadiene copolymer, a tackifying resin and a petroleum oil:
- wherein the blend contains about 25-80% asphalt, 3-18% elastomer, 5-25% tackifying resin and 10-50% petroleum oil;
- wherein the asphalt is characterized by a kinematic viscosity in the range of from about 500 poise .+-.100 to about 250 .+-.50 poise at 140.degree. F. (60.degree. C.), a minimum viscosity of from about 110 cs (centistokes) to about 80 centistokes at 275.degree. F. (135.degree. C.), a penetration (ASTM D5 73) of from about 120 to about 300 dmm (decimillimeters) at 77.degree. F. (25.degree. C.), and a ring and ball softening point from about 90.degree. F. to about 130.degree. F.;
- and
- wherein the petroleum oil is a resinous by-product of a lubricating oil tower used in the crude oil refining process.
A roofing sheet having tabs, a headlap portion, a top surface and a bottom surface, where said top surface has applied thereon an adhesive in the headlap portion of said shingle, and said bottom surface has a release material in said headlap portion of the shingle and a contact surface on the tabs, wherein said adhesive seals said sheets at 50.degree. F. and greater and said adhesive is a blend comprising asphalt, an elastomer containing about 80% triblock styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer and about 20% diblock styrene-butadiene copolymer, a tackifying resin and a petroleum oil:
- wherein the asphalt is characterized by a kinematic viscosity in the range of from about 500 poise .+-.100 to about 250.+-.50 poise at 140.degree. F. (60.degree. C.), a minimum vicositiy of from about 110 cs (centistokes) to about 80 centistokes at 275.degree. F. (135.degree. C.), a penetration (ASTM D5 73) of from about 120 to about 300 dmm (decimillimeters) at 77.degree. F. (25.degree. C.), and a ring and ball softening point from about 90.degree. F. to about 130.degree. F.;
- and
- wherein the petroleum oil is a resinous by-product of a lubricating oil tower used in the crude oil refining process.
A pair of superimposed shingles partially overlapped to form an overlapping area in which one shingle has applied on its surface an adhesive composition and the other shingle bears a contact surface for adhering said adhesive, and wherein said adhesive is a composition for retaining the tabs of said shingles against windlift at temperatures of about 50.degree. F. and greater and said adhesive is a blend comprising asphalt, an elastomer containing about 80% triblock styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer and about 20% diblock styrene-butadiene copolymer, a tackifying resin and a petroleum oil:
- wherein the asphalt is characterized by a kinematic viscosity in the range of from about 500 poise .+-.100 to about 250.+-.50 poise at 140.degree. F. (60.degree. C.), a minimum viscosity of from about 100 cs (centistokes) to about 80 centistokes at 275.degree. F. (135.degree. C.), a penetration (ASTM D5 73) of from about 120 to about 300 dmm (decimillimeters) at 77.degree. F. (25.degree. C.), and a ring and ball softening point from about 90.degree. F. to about 130.degree. F.;
- and
- wherein the petroleum oil is a resinous by-product of a lubricating oil tower used in the crude oil refining process.
An asphalt-based roofing sheet having superposed thereon an adhesive composition for adhering the roofing sheet to an adjacent roofing sheet, a contact surface, and a release material, and wherein said adhesive is one comprising a blend of asphalt, an elastomer containing about 80% triblock styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer and about 20% diblock styrene-butadiene copolymer, a tackifying resin and a petroleum oil:
- wherein the blend contains about 25-80% asphalt, 3-18% elastomer, 5-25% tackifying resin and 10-50% petroleum oil;
- wherein the asphalt is characterized by a kinematic viscosity in the range of from about 500 poise .+-.100 to about 250.+-.50 poise at 140.degree. F. (60.degree. C.), a minimum viscosity of from about 110 cs (centistokes) to about 80 centistokes at 275.degree. F. (135.degree. C.), a penetration (ASTM D5 73) of from about 120 to about 300 dmm (decimillimeters) at 77.degree. F. (25.degree. C.), and a ring and a ball softening point from about 90.degree. F. to about 130.degree. F.
