The members of the associations are indicated on the association homepages.
This dataset contains the results for the modules A1-A3 according to EN 15804 and is valid for all products within the indicated range of density. For an application of the dataset the specific density of the product has to be taken into account.
The production of the packaging materials is taken into account in A1-A3. The disposal of the packaging can be found in module A5. The treatment of the packaging waste and the installation residues of the product lead to credits declared in the EPD in module D. The open waste flows in this process can therefore be linked (see also comment for the respective flows in the LCA tab).
The following modules are declared for this product in the underlying EPD: A1-A3, A4, A5, D
The following datasets are available for this product in the GaBi database: A1-A3, A5
A comparison with other products is only allowed by a similar application in the building. In principle, a comparison or evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the datasets are created to be compared to EN 15804 and the product-specific features are considered.0It exclusively applies for plants in Germany and the product groups referred to for a period of five years from date of issue.Foreground system:
Within this Model EPD the environmental impacts are displayed for the manufacture of reactive resins based on polyurethane of the three German associations Deutsche Bauchemie (DBC), Industrieverband Klebstoffe (IVK) and Verband der deutschen Lack- und Druckfarbenindustrie (VdL).
These single- or 2-component reactive resins are manufactured using polyols (based on mineral oil or from sustainable raw materials) and isocyanates. They may contain solvents for adjusting favourable processing characteristics. They fulfil manifold, often specific, tasks in the construction, furnishing and repair of buildings. Using reactive resins based on polyurethane, containing solvent, decisively improves the usability of buildings and significantly extends their service lives. The product displaying the most environmental impacts was applied as a representative product for calculating the Life Cycle Assessment results. The product components formulated are usually mixed together from the ingredients in batch mode and filled into the containers, whereby quality standards in accordance with DIN ISO 9001-12 and the provisions outlined in the relevant regulations such as the Industrial Safety Regulation and Federal Pollution Control Act are adhered to. Reactive resins based on polyurethane, containing solvents, are processed by trowelling/knife-coating or rolling, pouring or spraying, whereby health and safety measures (ventilation, respiratory equipment, explosion protection) are to be taken and consistently adhered to in accordance with the information on the safety data sheet and conditions on site. On account of their composition, polyurethane products containing solvents are usually allocated to the PU 50 ff GISBAU product code. Suitable measures (ventilation, extraction) must ensure that the occupational exposure limits are maintained; explosion protection must be observed. A detailed description of packaging is provided in the EPD in section 2.5. Empty containers and clean foils can be recycled. Wooden reusable pallets are taken back by the building material trade (reusable pallets remunerated in the German deposit system) which returns them to the construction product manufacturer who in turn redirects them into the production process.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Reactive resins based on polyurethane, containing solvent, are used for the following applications:
Module 1: Reactive resins for protecting and repairing concrete structures
Module 2: Liquid-applied roof waterproofing kits
Module 3: Reactive resins for liquid-applied bridge deck waterproofing kits
Module 4: Reactive resins as adhesives for tiles
Module 5: Reactive resins for watertight covering kits
Module 6: Reactive resins for liquid applied waterproofing for buildings
Module 7: Screed material and floor screeds
Module 8: Adhesives and sealants
Module 9: Reactive resins for waterproofing concrete components or masonry and for pre-treating mineral substrates such as screed or concrete floors prior to flooring, parquet and tile work
Module 10: Sealing for parquet floors, floor coatings and floor coverings
Module 11: Reactive resins for visual design of concrete componentsPartly terminated systemAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system:
No allocations were applied for production. A multiinput allocation with a credit for electricity and thermal energy was used for incineration of packaging in accordance with the simple credit method. The credits achieved through packaging disposal are offset in Module D.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.
