Product <br />2.1 <br />Product description/Product definition <br />This EPD comprises dispersion-based products with a <br />Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content ≤10 % <br />(VOC definition according to Decopaint Directive). The <br />products typically consist of organic binding agents <br />based on synthetic and/or natural resins, mineral fillers <br />such as chalk as well as water and smaller volumes of <br />auxiliaries (thickening agents, defoaming agents, <br />surface-active agents, preservatives etc.). They dry <br />physically through evaporation of the water contained <br />therein. They comply with manifold, often specific, <br />functions in the construction, furnishing and repair of <br />buildings. Using dispersion-based products decisively <br />improves the fitness for use of structures and extends <br />2</p> <p>their life expectancy. The product displaying the <br />highest environmental impacts within the class of <br />dispersion-based products considered was used as a <br />representative product for calculating the Life Cycle <br />Assessment results (worst-case approach). <br />For the placing on the market in the European <br />Union/European Free Trade Association (EU/EFTA) <br />with the exception of Switzerland) products falling <br />under the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (CPR) need a <br />Declaration of Performance taking into consideration <br />either the relevant harmonised European standard or <br />the European Technical Assessment and the CE</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration DBC, EFCC, FEICA, IVK – Dispersion-based products, group 4</p> <p>marking. For the application and use of the products <br />the respective national provisions apply.</p> <p>parquet: The test procedures and requirements of the <br />EN ISO 17178 have to be fulfilled.</p> <p>2.2 <br />Application <br />Dispersion-based products are used for the following <br />applications:</p> <p>Module 2: Dispersion-based tile adhesive <br />The requirements on essential characteristics <br />according to EN 12004, must be maintained.

For larger applications, <br />vats with approx. volumes of 200 kg (litres) or IBCs</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration DBC, EFCC, FEICA, IVK – Dispersion-based products, group 4</p> <p>(intermediate bulk containers) with a capacity of 1 <br />tonne (m³) or more are also used. A plastic container <br />was modelled for the Life Cycle Assessment.</p> <p>batches or a series of individual batches, and filled into <br />the delivery containers. <br />2.7</p> <p>2.5 <br />Base materials/Ancillary materials <br />Dispersion-based products usually comprise at least <br />one synthetic resin dispersion, natural or synthetic <br />resins dispersed in water, mineral fillers (e.g. chalk) <br />and/or pigments. Auxiliaries such as thickening agents, <br />defoaming agents, surface-active and dispersing <br />agents as well as preservatives are used to fine-tune <br />the product features. Typically, the products covered <br />by this EPD contain the following range of base <br />materials and auxiliaries (% by mass): <br />- Synthetic polymer dispersion (solids portion): 5 - 65 <br />- Natural resins, natural resin derivatives: 0 - 25 <br />- Mineral fillers: 0 - 60 <br />- Pigments: 0 - 35 <br />- Water: 15 - 95 <br />- Auxiliaries: 1 - 5 <br />- Thickening agents: < 3 <br />- Dispersing agents / Emulsifying agents: < 2 <br />- Wetting agent: 2 <br />- Other: 0 - 2 <br />- VOC according to Decopaint Directive: <10 % <br />(mandatory) <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 />Note: For companies to declare their products within <br />the scope of this EPD it is not sufficient to simply <br />comply with the product composition shown above. <br />The application of this EPD is only possible for <br />member companies of DBC, EFCC, FEICA, and IVK <br />member associations and only for specific formulations <br />with a total score below the declared maximum score <br />for a product group according to the associated <br />guidance document. <br />1. substances from the “Candidate List of <br />Substances of Very High Concern for <br />Authorisation” (SVHC) <br />If this product contains substances listed in the <br />candidate list (latest version) exceeding 0.1 <br />percentage by mass, the relevant information can be <br />found in the safety data sheet of the relevant product <br />covered by this model EPD. <br />2. CMR substances in categories 1A and 1B <br />If this product contains other carcinogenic, mutagenic, <br />reprotoxic (CMR) substances in categories 1A or 1B <br />which are not on the candidate list, exceeding 0.1 <br />percentage by mass, the relevant information can be <br />found in the safety data sheet of the relevant product <br />covered by this model EPD. <br />3. Biocide products added to the construction <br />product <br />If this construction product contains biocide products, <br />the active substances, information on the <br />concentration and/or concentration range, the product <br />type together with information on their hazardous <br />properties are listed in the safety data sheet of the <br />respective product. <br />2.6 <br />Manufacture <br />Dispersion-based products are usually mixed <br />discontinuously in batch mode, i.e. in individual <br />4</p> <p>Environment and health during <br />manufacturing <br />As a general rule, no particular environmental or health <br />protection measures other than those specified by law <br />are necessary. <br />2.8 <br />Product processing/Installation <br />Dispersion based products are processed on site using <br />suitable tools, usually by hand. The products are <br />applied by trowelling/knife-coating, painting, rolling or <br />spraying. Precautions for safe handling and storage <br />(e.g. air exchange, exhaust ventilation, personal <br />protective measures, conditions for safe storage) must <br />be observed in accordance with the information on the <br />safety data sheet. <br />Depending on the application and product <br />specifications, between 50 and 1,500 g/m² are applied. <br />2.9 <br />Packaging <br />A detailed description of packaging is provided in <br />section 2.4. Empty containers and clean foils can be <br />recycled. <br />2.10 Condition of use <br />During the use phase dispersion-based products are <br />existent as hardened film. They are long-lasting <br />products which protect our buildings in the form of <br />adhesives, primers, coatings or sealants as well as <br />make an essential contribution towards their <br />appearance, function and sustainability. <br />2.11 Environment and health during use <br />Option 1 – Products for applications outside <br />indoor areas with permanent stays by people <br />No risks are known for water, air and soil if the <br />products are used as designated. <br />Option 2 – Products for applications inside indoor <br />areas with 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 (see <br />chapter 7). No further influences by emissions on the <br />environment and health are known. <br />2.12 Reference service life <br />Dispersion-based products fulfill manifold, often <br />specific, functions in the construction or refurbishment <br />of building structures. They decisively improve the <br />usability of building structures and significantly extend <br />their original service lives. The anticipated reference <br />service life depends on the specific installation <br />situation and the exposure associated with the product. <br />It can be influenced by weathering as well as <br />mechanical or chemical load. <br />2.13</p> <p>Extraordinary effects</p> <p>Fire <br />In terms of the volumes applied, dispersion based <br />products have no or only a marginal influence on the <br />fire performance characteristics of the building <br />structure in which they have been installed. <br />Water</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration DBC, EFCC, FEICA, IVK – Dispersion-based products, group 4</p> <p>Dispersion-based products are water-resistant only to <br />a certain degree and their strength can deteriorate <br />when exposed to water for longer periods (of time); <br />detaching from the surface is possible in a worst-case <br />scenario. The components of dispersion-based <br />products are not hazardous to water or only slightly <br />hazardous to water. Owing to the overall low volumes <br />of dispersion-based products used on buildings, no <br />relevant contribution towards environmental damage <br />can be anticipated by buildings featuring dispersionbased products in the event of extraordinary exposure <br />to water. <br />Mechanical destruction <br />The mechanical destruction of dispersion-based <br />products does not lead to any decomposition products <br />which are harmful to the environment or health. <br />2.14 Re-use phase <br />According to present knowledge, no environmentally <br />hazardous effects in terms of landfilling are to be <br />generally anticipated through dismantling and recycling <br />components to which dispersion-based products have <br />been applied and on which they have dried.</p> <p>2.15 Disposal <br />The low amounts of a dispersion-based product <br />applied to a construction product will not interfere with <br />the disposal/recycling of this. <br />Hardened product residue mechanically removed from <br />substrates must be disposed of as <br />commercial/construction waste. The following waste <br />codes according to the European List of Waste <br />(2000/532/EC) can apply: <br />Hardened product residue: <br />080112 Paint and varnish waste with the exception of <br />that covered by 08 01 11 <br />080410 Adhesive and sealant compound waste with <br />the exception of that covered by 08 04 09 <br />2.16 Further information <br />More information is available on the manufacturer's <br />product or safety data sheets and is available on the <br />manufacturer's websites or on request. Valuable <br />technical information is also available on the <br />associations' websites.</p> <p>3. LCA: Calculation rules <br />3.1 <br />Declared Unit <br />This EPD refers to the declared unit of 1 kg of <br />dispersion-based product, group 4; applied into the <br />building with a density of 1,000 - 1,500 kg/m³ in <br />accordance with the IBU PCR part B for dispersion <br />adhesives and primers for floor coverings. <br />The results of the Life Cycle Assessment provided in <br />this declaration have been selected from the product <br />with the highest environmental impact (worst-case <br />scenario). <br />Depending on the application, a corresponding <br />conversion factor such as the density to convert <br />volumetric use to mass must be taken into <br />consideration. <br />The Declaration type is according to EN 15804: Cradle <br />to gate with options, modules C1–C3, and module D <br />(A1–A3, C, D) and additional modules (A4-A5). <br />Declared unit <br />Name</p> <p>Value</p> <p>Unit</p> <p>Declared unit</p> <p>1 <br />1,0001,500</p> <p>kg</p> <p>Gross density</p> <p>kg/m^3</p> <p>3.2 <br />System boundary <br />Modules A1, A2 and A3 are taken into consideration in <br />the LCA: <br />- A1 Production of preliminary products <br />- A2 Transport to the plant <br />- A3 Production incl. provision of energy, production of <br />packaging as well as auxiliaries and consumables and <br />waste treatment <br />- A4 Transport to site <br />- A5 Installation, product applied into the building <br />during A5 phase operations and packaging disposal. <br />This stage considers VOC emissions during the <br />installation phase. The declared product does not <br />contain substances in the formulation that directly emit <br />as VOC, but VOCs are generated by a chemical <br />reaction that occurs during this phase. The end of life <br />5</p> <p>for the packaging material considered is described <br />below: <br />-Incineration, for materials like plastic and wood. <br />-C1-C2-C3-D <br />The building deconstruction (demolition process) takes <br />place in the C1 module which considers energy <br />production and consumption in terms of diesel and all <br />the emissions connected with the fuel-burning process <br />to run the machines. After the demolition, the product <br />is transported to the end-of-life processing (C2 <br />module) where all the impacts related to the transport <br />processes are considered. For precautionary principle <br />and as a worst-case scenario, thermal treatment is the <br />only end of life scenario considered. This is modelled <br />by the incineration process (module C3) where the <br />product ends its life cycle. <br />Module D accounts for potential benefits that are <br />beyond the defined system boundaries. Credits are <br />generated during the incineration of wastes and related <br />electricity produced that are occurring in the A5 <br />module. <br />3.3 <br />Estimates and assumptions <br />For this EPD formulation and production data defined <br />and collected by FEICA were considered. Production <br />waste was assumed to be disposed of by incineration <br />without credits as a worst case. <br />An average of plastic containers and wooden pallets <br />was considered in the LCA. <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, plant and other <br />infrastructure required for the production of the <br />products under review was not taken into consideration <br />in the LCA. <br />Transport of packaging materials is excluded. <br />3.5 <br />Background data <br />Data from the GaBi database SP40 (2020) was used <br />as background data</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration DBC, EFCC, FEICA, IVK – Dispersion-based products, group 4</p> <p>3.6 <br />Data quality <br />Representative products were applied for this EPD and <br />the product in the group displaying the highest <br />environmental impact was selected for calculating the <br />LCA results. The background datasets used are less <br />than 4 years 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 />The data quality of the background data is considered <br />to be good. <br />3.7 <br />Period under review <br />Representative formulations are valid for 2021.</p> <p>3.8 <br />Allocation <br />Mass allocation has been applied when primary data <br />have been used and implemented into the LCA model. <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 />The GaBi database SP40 (2020) was used.</p> <p>4.

The <br />results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high <br />and as there is limited experience with the indicator (see ILCD classification in EN 15804, table 5). For this <br />reason, results based on these indicators are not considered suitable for a decision-making process and are thus <br />not declared in the EPD.</p> <p>6. LCA: Interpretation <br />The majority of impacts are associated with the <br />production phase (A1-A3). The most significant <br />contribution to the production phase impacts is the <br />upstream production of raw materials as the main <br />driver. Another contributor in the production phase, in <br />the category of Photochemical ozone formation <br />(POCP), is the plastic used as a packaging material. <br />Emissions associated with the manufacturing of <br />products also have some influence on Ozone <br />Depletion Potential (ODP) in the production phase. In <br />all EPDs, CO2 is the most important contributor to <br />Global Warming Potential (GWP). For the Acidification <br />Potential (AP), NOx and SO2 contribute the largest <br />share. <br />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</p> <p>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. <br />Transportation to the construction site (A4) and the <br />installation process (A5) make a low contribution to all <br />impacts. Climate change from land use change is the <br />only indicator influenced by transport processes, due <br />to the diesel production used as fuel because part of <br />this diesel has been produced from bio-based raw <br />materials. <br />The installation phase influence mainly climate change <br />indicators, due to the impact related to the incineration <br />processes used for packaging waste treatment and <br />residual product treatment (1 % of the total mass). <br />The end-of-life phases influence climate change <br />indicators, due to the thermal treatment process of the <br />dispersion-based product occurring in the C3 module.</p> <p>7.
