Abstract
A roofing product can include roofing granules that can include substrates and a coating covering the substrates of the roofing granules. The substrates can be in the form of base particles, such as ceramic base particles or proppants, or base particles having a coating with an L* of at least approximately 55. In a particular aspect, a coating at an exposed surface of the roofing granule can include a compound that includes a metallic element; and nitrogen, carbon, or a combination of nitrogen and carbon. In another aspect, the coating has a relatively low L*, reasonably high solar reflectance, and good emissivity. The coating can be formed on a substrate using a fluidized bed. In a particular aspect, the coating can be performed as a chemical vapor deposition or a sol-gel process. If needed or desired, the roofing granules can be doped to achieve their desired properties.
