The granted patent US12044011B2 introduces a novel roofing material characterized by a coated substrate and a unique composition of roofing granules. The roofing granules consist of 50% to 100% unitary, uncoated, non-mineral based particles, which may include various materials such as thermoplastic polymers, filled polymers, filled rubbers, and bio-based particles, among others. The granules are applied to the top surface of the substrate at a coverage exceeding 55%, ensuring that they remain exposed once the roofing material is installed. This roofing material is designed for use in roofing systems, with applications including roofing shingles and tiles, and can be made from different substrates like fiberglass or polyester mats.

Additionally, the patent outlines specific properties of the roofing granules, including a density range of 1.2 g/cm³ to 2.5 g/cm³ and a particle size between #8 US mesh to #60 US mesh, with minimal particles exceeding #100 US mesh. The roofing material is noted for its lower weight per thickness compared to traditional mineral-based roofing materials, as well as improved staining resistance and higher total solar reflectance (TSR) values. The claims also highlight the potential for using recycled materials in the granule composition, further enhancing the sustainability aspect of the roofing product. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach to roofing material design, focusing on performance, weight efficiency, and environmental considerations.
