20130101734 | MINERAL SURFACED ASPHALT-BASED ROOFING PRODUCTS WITH ENCAPSULATED HEALING AGENTS AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THE SAME - An asphalt-based sheet roofing material includes capsules on its upper surface. When struck, as by hailstones, the capsules break to release a film forming fluid that spreads over the surface to heal the damage created by the hailstones. | 04-25-2013 |
20130108873 | SOLAR HEAT-REFLECTIVE ROOFING GRANULES, SOLAR HEAT-REFLECTIVE SHINGLES AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME | 05-02-2013 |
20140120316 | COLORED ROOFING GRANULES WITH INCREASED SOLAR HEAT REFLECTANCE, SOLAR HEAT-REFLECTIVE SHINGLES, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME - Solar-reflective roofing granules having deep-tone colors are formed by coating base mineral particles with a coating composition including an infrared-reflective pigment. Color is provided by a colored infrared pigment, a light-interference platelet pigment, or a metal oxide. | 05-01-2014 |
20140186582 | ALGAE RESISTANT ROOFING GRANULES WITH CONTROLLED ALGAECIDE LEACHING RATES, ALGAE RESISTANT SHINGLES, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME - Algae-resistant roofing granules are formed by extruding a mixture of mineral particles and a binder to form porous granule bodies, and algaecide is distributed in the pores. Release of the algaecide is controlled by the structure of the granules. | 07-03-2014 |
20150043052 | SOLAR HEAT RESPONSIVE EXTERIOR SURFACE COVERING - An exterior surface covering has a colored outer layer that transmits infrared radiation and an inner layer with a thermochromic pigment that absorbs heat at low temperature and reflects at high temperatures. The outer layer conceals the color change of the thermochromic pigment. | 02-12-2015 |
20150050500 | POST-FUNCTIONALIZED ROOFING GRANULES AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING SAME - Roofing granules having a color coating layer are covered with a clear, transparent or translucent outer coating composition including a functional material, such nanoparticles of anatase titanium dioxide. | 02-19-2015 |
20160069081 | Roof Covering Material and Method of Manufacturing - A roof covering material is provided, as well as its method of manufacture, wherein a substrate, preferably of a fibrous material is provided, with a bituminous material, preferably asphalt coating, on opposite surfaces thereof, with granules being applied to an upper surface thereof and at least partially embedded in the bituminous material, and with a discontinuous top layer applied to the granule/bituminous material. The discontinuous top layer is preferably a polymeric material, and openings are provided therein, for passage of fluids therethrough, to avoid moisture, volatiles, and other fluid materials from being trapped beneath the top layer. Various techniques for application of the various materials, and for chemical treatment, are likewise provided. | 03-10-2016 |
20160083962 | COLORED ROOFING GRANULES WITH INCREASED SOLAR HEAT REFLECTANCE, SOLAR HEAT-REFLECTIVE SHINGLES AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME - Solar-reflective roofing granules having deep-tone colors are formed by coating base mineral particles with a coating composition including an infrared-reflective pigment. Color is provided by a colored infrared pigment, a light-interference platelet pigment, or a metal oxide. | 03-24-2016 |
