SHINGLE SEALANT AND ADHESIVE.

摘要

Disclosed roofing shingles and related methods of manufacturing provide a reinforced material that strengthens the bond between shingles by reducing the affect of heat on the sealant/adhesive between shingles in one or more areas where sealant/adhesive is applied or where it contacts other shingles once installed on a roof deck. The reinforcement material acts as fiber reinforcement to the sealant/adhesive. The reinforcement material intertwines with the sealant/adhesive, and thereby helps the shingles resist delaminating or slipping or blow-off when subjected to high heat conditions or on very steep sloped roofs. The reinforcement material helps retain the strength of the adhesive bond between shingles in these conditions by providing fiber reinforcement to the adhesive bond. Thus, as the adhesive turns from a solid state to a more liquefied state in hot temperatures, the totality of the reinforcement material does not so transform, and thus retains more strength in the adhesive bond between the two shingles than mere adhesive/sealant alone.
