A shingle coating asphalt composition is provided that is produced from a paving grade asphalt. The asphalt composition comprises a paving-grade asphalt that has been modified with one or more polymer additives; and a secondary additive comprising one or more of a viscosity reducing agent, a wax, a salt of a fatty acid ester, and an amide of a fatty acid. The shingle coating asphalt coating composition is used to make a shingle. The shingle includes a substrate, the asphalt, and roofing granules.

A method for coating a surface, including the steps: a) applying a first layer of a moisture-curable composition onto a surface, b) optionally letting the applied moisture-curable composition cure into a dried first layer, c) applying a second layer of the moisture-curable composition onto the optionally dried first layer, wherein the moisture-curable composition includes: between 20 and 50 wt.-%, preferably between 25 and 45 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the composition, of at least one organic polymer which is liquid at room temperature and contains reactive silane groups, and between 10 and 30 wt.-%, preferably between 15 and 25 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the composition, of at least one polyether PE having between 2 and 6 ether oxygen atoms and is free of hydroxyl groups; and at least one curing catalyst for reactive silane groups. The method yields a multilayer coating with high intercoat adhesion.
