EPD: Mineral granules for flat roofing, with ceramic coating, from dacite, Premium Cool Roofing Granules (3M)

3M Premium and 3M Standard Cool Roofing Granules are two different color categories of ceramic-coated minerals used as surfacing material to provide weathering resistance and durable color in asphalt roofing products. The 3M Premium and 3M Standard Cool Roofing Granules reflect more of the infrared portion of the solar spectrum than 3M Classic Roofing Granules by using a patented1 multi-layer design incorporating colored durable infrared pigments which are bound in a ceramic matrix. The granules are also surface treated to reduce dust, to reduce asphaltic staining, and to promote adhesion to asphalt.
