Like over-baking a cookie, <br />oxidized asphalt becomes <br />hard and brittle – more prone <br />to breaking and cracking; and <br />like dried-out glue, loses its <br />extreme stickiness, resulting <br />in premature granule loss. <br />RUBBERIZED ASPHALT(& ADHESIVE) TECHNOLOGY <br />Malarkey pioneered polymer modified (rubberized) asphalt roofing shingles, a superior, sustainable, <br />and cleaner (fewer emissions) technology that sets the standard for modern shingle-making. <br />Malarkey Shingle Technology (Rubberized Asphalt) <br />Malarkey invented rubberized asphalt roofing shingles. Our patented NEX® Polymer <br />Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt formulation uses SBS virgin rubber polymers, <br />and upcycled rubber and plastic polymers, to strengthen the asphalt core of the <br />shingle for stronger, longer, all-weather durability. <br />Rubberization enhances asphalt’s suppleness to resist thermal dry-out <br />(aging longevity) and stickiness to better adhere and embed granules (granule <br />retention), while adding rubberlike flex to resist tears and breaks and shock <br />dispersion to better absorb and deflect force impact without damage <br />(impact resistance). <br />Rubberized Adhesive <br />We also rubberize the adhesive used throughout the shingle (wind seal, rain seals, <br />laminate bonds) with SEBS rubber polymers for stronger seal-down action and <br />greater resistance to thermal dry-out. <br />Upcycled Sustainability <br />In addition to virgin polymers, we also incorporate upcycled rubber and plastic <br />polymers. These recycled polymers improve shingle strength and durability, <br />while also benefiting the shingle with an anti-UV aging ingredient inherent in tires. <br />Recycled ingredients extending product life and landfill life. A true win-win! <br />Asphalt weathering, rubber tough, environmentally conscious.
