Understanding the science behind shingle deterioration helps Collierville homeowners make smarter decisions about roof repair and maintenance. Asphalt shingles are manufactured from a petroleum-based substrate containing oils that maintain flexibility and weather resistance throughout the shingles rated lifespan. Starting around year 8 to 10, the intense Mid-South sun begins evaporating those petroleum oils at an accelerating rate. As the oils disappear, the shingles dry out, granules shed more rapidly, and the asphalt becomes brittle and prone to cracking. This is the exact deterioration process that the Roof Maxx soy bio-oil treatment addresses it soaks into the asphalt matrix and replaces the petroleum oils the sun has baked out. Independent testing on 17-year-old treated shingles showed they regained enough flexibility to pass the same quality tests as brand-new product.
