The quality and performance of roofing shingles depend on the raw materials used during production and therefore require quality control by particle characterization. These roofing shingles consist of a layer of mineral granules on top of an asphalt layer which is embedded in a fiberglass or cellulose mat. The shingles get fastened to a roof covered with a thin flexible sheeting. The granules, asphalt, mat and sheeting act together to form a durable, flexible and waterproof assembly. The mineral granules must meet standards specifications for size distribution and opacity to ensure minimum damage to the asphalt layer from both mechanical ... Read More
