Zusammenfassung:A roofing material and process for making same has a granular surface formed from coated granules embedded in an upper layer of modified asphalt. The granules are coated with a coloring composition and with a hydrophobic material. To assure adequate color intensity and a physically strong attachment of the coating on the granule, multiple layers of coloring composition are applied to the granules and are fired at a high temperature for a significant period of time. High reflectivity can be achieved using the coated granules, as well as a high degree of hydrophobicity to aid in shedding water, in particular acidic rainwater to increase roofing membrane performance and useful life.
