One kg of product in <br />individual containers. Sealants in plastic cartridges and <br />poly-tube bags made of foil compound materials. <br />Typical container sizes contain 10 to 25 kg of material. <br />For more extensive applications, vats containing <br />approx. 200 kg or IBCs containing more than 1 tonne <br />are also used. <br />For the LCA, tinplate (33%) and plastic packaging <br />(66%) was considered. <br />2.6 <br />Base materials / Ancillary materials <br />Dual-component reactive resin based on <br />polyurethane, filled or aqueous/solvent-free, comprises <br />resin and crosslinking agent components. The resin <br />component contains polyether and/or polyester polyols <br />(based on mineral oil or from sustainable raw <br />materials). Crosslinking takes place after installation on <br />site and using the crosslinking component. This <br />involves the use of homologues, pre-polymers and <br />polymers based on MDI, TDI, HDI or IPDI. The <br />components can contain auxiliaries such as <br />accelerators, catalysts, wetting agents, foam regulators <br />and viscosity regulators for fine-tuning the product <br />features (application or marketing restrictions must be <br />adhered to). <br />The resin and crosslinking agent mixing ratio is <br />adjusted according to the stoichiometric requirements. <br />Product crosslinking commences directly after the <br />components are mixed. <br />4</p> <p>Single-component reactive resins based on <br />polyurethane or SMP, filled/solvent-free, which <br />crosslink in the presence of water without adding a <br />resin component, comprise pre-polymers based on <br />MDI, TDI, HDI, IPDI or those with alkoxy-silane end <br />groups. <br />On average, the products covered by this EPD contain <br />the following ranges of base materials and auxiliaries <br />referred to: <br />Resin component: up to approx. 80% <br />Crosslinking components: up to approx. 40% <br />SMP components: up to approx. 45% <br />Plasticiser: ~ 0-25% <br />Filler materials: ~ 0-65% <br />Additives / Pigments: ~ 0-30% <br />Water: ~ 0-35% <br />These ranges are average values and the composition <br />of products complying with the EPD can deviate from <br />these concentration levels in individual cases. More <br />detailed information is available in the respective <br />manufacturer's documentation (e.g. product data <br />sheets). <br />In individual cases, it is possible that substances on <br />the list of materials of particularly high concern for <br />inclusion in Annex XIV of the /REACH/ regulation are <br />contained in concentrations exceeding 0.1%. If this is <br />the case, this information can be found on the <br />respective safety data sheet. <br />2.7 <br />Manufacture <br />The product components formulated are usually mixed <br />from the ingredients in batch mode and packaged for <br />delivery, whereby quality and environmental standards <br />in accordance with /ISO 9001:2008-12/ and the <br />provisions outlined in the relevant regulations such as <br />the Industrial Safety Regulation and Federal Pollution <br />Control Act are adhered to. <br />2.8</p> <p>Environment and health during <br />manufacturing <br />As a general rule, no other environmental protection <br />measures other than those specified by law are <br />necessary. <br />2.9 <br />Product processing/Installation <br />Reactive resins based on polyurethane or SMP, filled <br />or aqueous/solvent-free, are processed by <br />trowelling/knife-coating or rolling, pouring, spraying or <br />injection, whereby health and safety measures <br />(ventilation, respiratory equipment) are to be taken and <br />consistently adhered to in accordance with the <br />information on the safety data sheet and conditions on <br />site. <br />2.10 Packaging <br />A detailed description of packaging is provided in <br />section 2.5. Empty containers and clean foils can be <br />recycled. <br />2.11 Condition of use <br />During the use phase, reactive resins based on <br />polyurethane or SMP, filled or aqueous/solvent-free, <br />are crosslinked and essentially comprise an inert <br />three-dimensional network. <br />They are long-lasting products which protect our <br />buildings in the form of adhesives, coatings or sealants <br />as well as making an essential contribution towards <br />their function and conservation of value.</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA - Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry – Reactive <br />resins based on polyurethane or SMP, filled or aqueous, solvent-free</p> <p>2.12 Environment and health during use <br />Option 1 <br />Products for applications outside indoor areas <br />with permanent stays by people <br />During use, filled or aqueous/solvent-free <br />polyurethane- or SMP-based reactive resins lose their <br />reactive capacity and are inert. <br />No risks are known for water, air and soil if the <br />products are used as designated <br />Option 2 <br />Products for applications inside indoor areas with <br />permanent stays by people <br />When used in indoor areas with permanent stays by <br />people, evidence of the emission performance of <br />construction products in contact with indoor air must be <br />submitted according to national requirements. No <br />further influences by emissions on the environment <br />and health are known. <br />2.13 Reference service life <br />Reactive resins based on polyurethane or SMP, filled <br />or aqueous/solvent-free, comply with a variety of, often <br />specific, tasks in the construction or refurbishment of <br />building structures. They decisively improve the <br />usability of building structures and significantly extend <br />their original service lives. <br />The anticipated reference service life depends on the <br />specific installation situation and the exposure <br />associated with the product. It can be influenced by <br />weathering as well as mechanical or chemical loads. <br />2.14</p> <p>Extraordinary effects</p> <p>Fire <br />Even without any special fire safety features, reactive <br />resins based on polyurethane or SMP, filled or <br />aqueous/solvent-free, comply with at least the <br />requirements of /EN 13501-1/ standard for fire classes <br />E and Efl. In terms of the volumes applied, they only <br />have a subordinate influence on the fire performance <br />characteristics (e.g. smoke gas development) of the <br />building structure in which they are installed. As <br />networked polyurethane resins do not melt or drip, the <br />resins do not contribute towards spreading fire. <br />Water <br />Reactive resins based on polyurethane or SMP, filled <br />or aqueous/solvent-free, are chemically inert and</p> <p>insoluble in water. They are often used to protect <br />building structures from harmful water ingress / the <br />effects of flooding. <br />Mechanical destruction <br />The mechanical destruction of reactive resins based <br />on polyurethane or SMP does not lead to any <br />decomposition products which are harmful for the <br />environment or health. <br />2.15 Re-use phase <br />According to present knowledge, no environmentallyhazardous effects in terms of landfilling are to be <br />generally anticipated through dismantling and recycling <br />components to which crosslinked polyurethane or SMP <br />products adhere. <br />If polyurethane or SMP systems can be removed from <br />the components at no great effort, thermal recovery is <br />a practical recycling variant on account of its energy <br />content. <br />2.16 Disposal <br />Individual components which can no longer be <br />recycled must be combined at a specified ratio and <br />hardened. <br />Hardened product residue is not special waste. <br />Non-hardened product residue is special waste. <br />Empty, dried containers (free of drops and scraped <br />clean) are directed to the recycling process. Residue <br />must be directed to proper waste disposal taking <br />consideration of local guidelines. <br />The following waste codes according to the European <br />List of Waste (/2000/532/EC/) can apply: <br />Hardened product residue: <br />080112 Paint and varnish waste with the exception of <br />those covered by 08 01 11 <br />080410 Adhesive and sealant compound waste with <br />the exception of those covered by 08 04 09 <br />2.17 Further information <br />More information is available in the manufacturer's <br />product or safety data sheets and is available on the <br />manufacturer's Web sites or on request. Valuable <br />technical information is also available on the <br />associations' Web sites.</p> <p>3. LCA: Calculation rules <br />3.1 <br />Declared Unit <br />This EPD refers to the declared unit of 1 kg reactive <br />resin based on polyurethane or SMP, filled or aqueous, <br />solvent-free of density 1.25 - 1.8 g/cm³ in the mixing <br />ratio required for processing both components in <br />accordance with the /PCR Part B/ for Reactive resin <br />products. <br />Consumption per unit area of the products to be <br />applied extensively can range between only a few <br />hundred grams and more than 1 kg per square metre. <br />In the case of products, which are injected, the <br />application volume depends on the component to be <br />injected. <br />The results of the Life Cycle Assessment provided in <br />this declaration have been calculated from the product <br />with the highest environmental impact (worst-case <br />scenario).</p> <p>5</p> <p>Declared unit <br />Name</p> <p>Declared unit <br />Conversion factor to 1 kg</p> <p>Value</p> <p>Unit</p> <p>1 <br />1</p> <p>kg <br />-</p> <p>3.2 <br />System boundary <br />Modules A1-A3, A4, A5 and D are taken into <br />consideration in the LCA: <br /> <br />A1 Production of preliminary products <br /> <br />A2 Transport to plant <br /> <br />A3 Production incl. provision of energy, <br />production of packaging as well as auxiliaries <br />and consumables, waste treatment) <br /> <br />A4 Transport to site <br /> <br />A5 Installation (disposal of packaging &</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA - Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry – Reactive <br />resins based on polyurethane or SMP, filled or aqueous, solvent-free</p> <p></p> <p>installation losses and emissions during <br />installation) <br />D Credits from incineration of packaging <br />materials & installation losses and recycling <br />the metal container</p> <p>The Declaration is therefore from "cradle to gate - with <br />options". <br />3.3 <br />Estimates and assumptions <br />Where no specific GaBi processes were available, the <br />individual recipe ingredients of formulation were <br />estimated on the basis of information provided by the <br />manufacturer or literary sources. <br />3.4 <br />Cut-off criteria <br />All raw materials submitted for the formulations and <br />production data were taken into consideration. <br />The manufacture of machinery, plants and other <br />infrastructure required for production of the products <br />under review was not taken into consideration in the <br />LCA. <br />Transport of packaging materials is also excluded. <br />3.5 <br />Background data <br />Data from the GaBi 6 database was used as <br />background data. Where no background data was <br />available, it was complemented by manufacturer <br />information and literary research.</p> <p>3.6 <br />Data quality <br />Representative products were applied for this EPD and <br />the product in a group displaying the highest <br />environmental impact was selected for calculating the <br />LCA results. The datasets are no more than 5 years <br />old. <br />Production data and packaging are based on details <br />provided by the manufacturer. The formulation used for <br />evaluation refers to a specific product. <br />3.7 <br />Period under review <br />Representative formulations were accepted by FEICA <br />Ltd and collected in 2011. <br />3.8 <br />Allocation <br />No allocations were applied for production. A multiinput allocation with a credit for electricity and thermal <br />energy was used for incineration of production <br />residues and packaging materials. The credits <br />achieved through packaging disposal are declared in <br />Module D. <br />3.9 <br />Comparability <br />Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data <br />is only possible if all the data sets to be compared <br />were created according to /EN 15804/ and the building <br />context, respectively the product-specific <br />characteristics of performance, are taken into account. <br />In this case, 1 kg reactive resin was selected as the <br />declared unit.

LCA: Interpretation <br />All impacts are associated with the production phase <br />(A1-A3). The most significant contribution to the <br />production phase impacts is the upstream production <br />of raw materials as main driver. Another substantial <br />contributor in the production phase, in the category of <br />Abiotic Depletion Potential Elements (ADPE), is the <br />steel sheet used as packaging material. Emissions <br />associated with the manufacturing of products also <br />have some influence on Photochemical Ozone <br />Creation Potential (POCP) in the production phase. <br />In all EPDs, CO2 is the most important contributor to <br />Global Warming Potential (GWP). For the Acidification <br />Potential (AP), NOx and SO2 contribute to the largest <br />share. In some cases HCl in water also impacts AP <br />due to the use of TiO2. <br />7</p> <p>The majority of life cycle energy consumption takes <br />place during the production phase (A1-A3). Significant <br />contributions to Primary Energy Demand – Nonrenewable (PENRT) come from the energy resources <br />used in the production of raw materials. The largest <br />contributor to Primary Energy Demand – Renewable <br />(PERT) impacts comes from the consumption of <br />renewable energy resources required for the <br />generation and supply of electricity. It should be noted <br />that Primary Energy Demand – Renewable (PERT) <br />generally represents a small percentage of the <br />production phase primary energy demand with the bulk <br />of the demand coming from non-renewable energy <br />resources.</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA - Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry – Reactive <br />resins based on polyurethane or SMP, filled or aqueous, solvent-free</p> <p>Transportation to the construction site (A4) and the <br />installation process (A5) contribute to a negligible <br />extent to all impacts. Scrap burdens and energy credit</p> <p>reported in module D are not important (contribution <br /><2.5% for most results).</p> <p>7. Requisite evidence <br />VOC <br />Special tests and evidence have not been carried out <br />or provided within the framework of drawing up this <br />Model EPD. Some member states require special <br />documentation on VOC emissions into indoor air for <br />specific areas of application. This documentation, as <br />well as documentation for voluntary VOC labelling, has <br />to be provided separately and is specific for product in <br />question. <br />Evidence pertaining to VOC emissions shall show <br />either an attestation of compliance with, <br />or a documentation of test data that are required <br />in, <br />any of the existing regulations or in any of the existing <br />voluntary labeling programs for low-emitting products, <br />as far as these <br />(1) include limits for the parameters TVOC, TSVOC, <br />carcinogens, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, LCI limits <br />for individual substances (including but not limited to <br />the European list of harmonized LCIs), and the R <br />value; <br />(2) base their test methods on CEN/TS 16516 (or EN <br />16516, after the on-going revision of CEN/TS 16516); <br />(3) perform testing and apply the limits after 28 days <br />storage in a ventilated test chamber, under the <br />conditions specified in CEN/TS 16516; some <br />regulations and programs also have limits after 3 days, <br />on top of the 28 days limits;</p> <p>8</p> <p>(4) express the test results as air concentrations in <br />the European Reference Room, as specified in <br />CEN/TS 16516. <br />Examples of such regulations are the Belgian Royal <br />Decree C-2014/24239, or the German /AgBB/. <br />Examples of such voluntary labeling programs are <br />/EMICODE/, Blue Angel or Indoor Air Comfort. <br />Relevant test results shall be produced either by an <br />ISO 17025 accredited commercial test lab, or by a <br />qualified internal test lab of the manufacturer. <br />Examples for the applied limits after 28 days storage in <br />a ventilated test chamber are: <br />TVOC: 1000 µg/m³ <br />TSVOC: 100 µg/m³ <br />Each carcinogen: 1 µg/m³ <br />Formaldehyde: 100 µg/m³ <br />LCI: different per substance involved <br />R value: 1 (meaning that, in total, 100% of the <br />combined LCI values must not be exceeded). <br />Informative Annexes (2 tables): <br />The table shown below is an overview of the most <br />relevant regulations and specifications as of April <br />2015, as regards requirements after 3 days storage in <br />a ventilated test chamber.</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA - Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry – Reactive <br />resins based on polyurethane or SMP, filled or aqueous, solvent-free</p> <p>The table above provides an overview of the most <br />relevant regulations and specifications as of April <br />2015, as regards requirements after 28 days storage in <br />a ventilated test chamber.
