Abstract
A glass mat includes an assembly of glass fibers, a binder composition and an asphaltic coating. The binder composition includes an organic resin and an adhesion promoter. The glass mat has an at least 2% increase in tear strength as measured using the methods specified in ASTM D3462, compared to an asphaltic coated glass mat having a binder composition without the adhesion promoter. Further provided is an asphalt roofing product including the glass mat and a method of increasing tear strength in an asphalt roofing product.
Claims19
A glass mat comprising:
- an assembly of glass fibers;
- a binder composition comprising a urea-formaldehyde resin composition and an adhesion promoter comprising a resin acid additive, a tall oil fatty acid, a rosin, or combination thereof;
- and
- an asphaltic coating;
- wherein the glass mat has an at least 2% increase in tear strength as measured using the methods specified in ASTM D3462, compared to an asphaltic coated glass mat having a binder composition without the adhesion promoter.
An asphalt roofing product, wherein the asphalt roofing product comprises
- a glass mat comprising an assembly of glass fibers;
- a binder composition comprising a urea-formaldehyde resin composition and an adhesion promoter comprising a resin acid additive, a tall oil fatty acid, a rosin, or combination thereof;
- and
- an asphaltic coating;
- wherein the glass mat has an at least 2% increase in tear strength as measured using the methods specified in ASTM D3462, compared to an asphaltic coated glass mat having a binder composition without the adhesion promoter.
A method of increasing tear strength in an asphalt roofing product, the method comprising providing a glass mat for the asphalt roofing product, wherein the glass mat comprises:
- an assembly of glass fibers;
- a binder composition comprising a urea-formaldehyde resin composition and an adhesion promoter comprising a resin acid additive, a tall oil fatty acid, a rosin, or combination thereof;
- and
- an asphaltic coating;
- wherein the glass mat has an at least 2% increase in tear strength as measured using the methods specified in ASTM D3462, compared to an asphaltic coated glass mat having a binder composition without the adhesion promoter.
