83013d5e-500a-48c7-919b-f6a91d2bb587Methacrylate resin products, highly-filled, flow coatings - Deutsche Bauchemie e.V.(DBC) (A1-A3)technology mixproduction mix, association / model EPD, valid for Germany1 kg; density 800 - 2,000 kg/m³reactive resins based on methacrylatesSystemsConstructionThis dataset represents the results of an association EPD (Model EPD) for which the product of a group was selected that shows the highest environmental impacts in this group to calculate the Life Cycle Assessment. The members of the associations are indicated on the association homepages.
This data set 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 the product groups referred to for plants in Germany and for a period of five years from the date of issue.Foreground system:
Within this Model EPD the environmental impacts are displayed for the manufacture of reactive resins based on methacrylate of the German association Deutsche Bauchemie (DBC). Methacrylate resin products, highly-filled for mortar and flow coatings. These two-component reactive resins are manufactured using methacrylate formulations and hardening agents. They fulfil manifold, often specific, tasks in the construction, furnishing, repair and waterproofing of buildings. Using reactive resins based on methacrylate decisively improves the fitness for use of structures and extends their service lives. The product components formulated are usually mixed from the ingredients in batch mode and packaged for delivery, whereby quality standards in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and the provisions outlined in the relevant regulations such as the Industrial Safety Regulation and Federal Pollution Control Act are adhered to. Methacrylate resin products are processed by trowelling/knife-coating or rolling, pouring or injection, whereby health and safety measures (gloves and goggles, ventilation) 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, methacrylate resin products, highly-filled, generally bear the GISCODE/GISBAU product code RMA 10 or RMA 20. Methacrylate resin products, highly-filled, react after mixing resin and hardening agent under heat development (exothermicity). The mixed components must therefore be processed rapidly within the specified pot time. If larger volumes remain in the container, this can lead to a strong heat build-up and decomposition. Empty containers and clean cardboard boxes with PE 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 building 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.Methacrylate resin products, highly-filled, are used on site for the following applications:
Module 1: Reactive resins for protecting and repairing concrete structures
Module 2: Reactive resins for liquid-applied bridge deck waterproofing kits
Module 3: Reactive resins for watertight covering kits
Module 4: Screed material and floor screeds
Module 5: Liquid-applied waterproofing for waterproofing buildings
Module 6: Liquid-applied waterproofing form waterproofing joints
Module 7: Reactive resins for waterproofing concrete components or masonry and for pre-treating mineral substrates such as screed or concrete floors or for visual designPartly terminated systemAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system:
No allocations were used for production. Production waste was however directed to a refuse incineration plant. After incineration, credits were calculated for electricity and thermal energy. A multi-input 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.
