NDSU researcher develops soy-based roof rejuvenator Brynn Rawlings Devils Lake Daily Journal FARGO - A North Dakota State University researcher is developing a new product that can be applied to asphalt shingles in order to soften them, increasing their repairability and extending the lifespan of existing roofing. The product stems from senior research engineer James Bahr’s patented soy-based dust suppressant agent used to control excessive road dust. Recent trials with a roofing company show that a modified version can be used to rejuvenate and soften aged asphalt. Research will be conducted through June 2022 to modify the existing formula and test several variations on aged shingles. The formulas will be made at NDSU and tested on an outdoor fixture of aged singles located on campus. After months of exposure, the shingles will be removed and tested in the lab to gauge the efficacy of the various treatments. ....
