Zusammenfassung:A method of producing a roofing shingle coating asphalt from a non-coatin g grade asphalt feedstock includes the following steps. The non-coating grad e asphalt feedstock is partially blown to lower its penetration to a first p enetration that is within or close to a target penetration range of the coat ing asphalt, and to raise its softening point to a first softening point tha t is lower than a target softening point range of the coating asphalt. Then a wax is added to the partially blown non-coating grade asphalt to further r aise its softening point to a second softening point that is within the targ et softening point range to produce the coating asphalt.
