For larger applications, <br />vats with approx. volumes of 200 kg (litres) or IBCs <br />(intermediate bulk containers) with a capacity in <br />excess of 1 tonne (m³) are also used. <br />A plastic container was modelled for the Life Cycle <br />Assessment. <br />2.6 <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. <br />On average, the products covered by this EPD contain <br />the following range of base materials and auxiliaries <br />(% by mass): <br />- Synthetic resin 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 />The biocidal products used contain agents which can <br />be marketed in accordance with Biocidal Products <br />Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. <br />In individual cases, it is possible that substances on <br />the list of particularly harmful substances for inclusion <br />in Annex XIV of the /REACH/ regulation are contained <br />in concentrations of exceeding 0.1%. If this is the case,</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA – Dispersion-based products, solvent-free</p> <p>this information can be found on the respective safety <br />data sheet. <br />2.7 <br />Manufacture <br />Dispersion-based products are usually mixed <br />discontinuously in batch mode, i.e. in individual <br />batches or series of individual batches, and filled into <br />the delivery containers. The quality of the products and <br />safe handling thereof is ensured by the corresponding <br />regulations such as /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. <br />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.</p> <p>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 />weather factors as well as by mechanical or chemical <br />loads. <br />2.14</p> <p>Extraordinary effects</p> <p>Fire <br />In terms of their application volumes, dispersion-bound <br />products usually have no or only a subordinate <br />influence on the fire characteristics of the structure in <br />which they have been used.</p> <p>2.8</p> <p>2.9 <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, whereby health and safety measures (gloves <br />and goggles, ventilation) 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 />Depending on the application and product <br />specifications, between 50 and 1,500 g/m² are applied. <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 dispersion-based products are <br />existent as hardened film. <br />They are long-lasting products which protect our <br />buildings in the form of primers, coatings or sealants <br />as well as making an essential contribution towards <br />their appearance, function and sustainability. <br />2.12 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. No <br />further influences on the environment and health by <br />emanating substances are known. <br />2.13 Reference service life <br />Dispersion-based products fulfil manifold, often <br />specific, tasks in the construction, refurbishment or <br />renovation of building structures. They decisively <br />improve the usability of building structures and <br />significantly extend their original service lives.</p> <p>Water <br />Dispersion-based products are only water-resistant 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 in a worst-case scenario. <br />The primary components of dispersion-based products <br />are not hazardous to water or only slightly hazardous <br />to water. Owing to the overall low volumes of <br />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-bound <br />products does not lead to any decomposition products <br />which are harmful for the environment or health. <br />2.15 Re-use phase <br />According to present knowledge, no known <br />environmentally-hazardous effects in terms of disposal <br />are to be generally anticipated through dismantling and <br />recycling components to which hardened, dispersionbound products adhere. <br />2.16 Disposal <br />The portion of a dispersion-based product applied at <br />an other construction product is rather low. These low <br />amounts do not play any role when the construction <br />product is disposed. They do not interfere with the <br />disposal/recycling of other components / building <br />materials. <br />Hardened product residue mechanically removed from <br />substrates must be disposed of as commercial / <br />construction waste. <br />The following waste codes according to the European <br />List of Waste (/2000/532/EC/) can apply: Hardened <br />product residue: <br />08 01 12 waste paint and varnish other than those <br />mentioned in 08 01 11 <br />08 04 10 waste adhesives and sealants other than <br />those mentioned in 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</p> <p>4</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA – Dispersion-based products, solvent-free</p> <p>3.1 <br />Declared Unit <br />This EPD refers to the declared unit of 1 kg dispersionbased product with a density of 1.000 - 1.500 kg/m3 in <br />the mixing ratio required for processing the <br />components in accordance the PCR part B for <br />Coatings with organic binders. <br />Consumption per unit area of the products to be <br />applied extensively can range between 50 - 1.500 <br />g/m2. <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>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, data gaps were complemented by <br />manufacturer information and literature research.</p> <p>Declared unit <br />Name</p> <p>Conversion factor to 1 kg <br />Declared unit</p> <p>Value</p> <p>Unit</p> <p>1 <br />1</p> <p>kg</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 & <br />installation losses and emissions during <br />installation) <br /> <br />D Credits from incineration of packaging <br />materials & installation losses <br />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, <br />the individual constituent materials of the formulations <br />were estimated based on information provided by the <br />manufacturerer or literature sources.</p> <p>3.6 <br />Data quality <br />Representative products were selected for this EPD. <br />The product displaying the highest environmental <br />impacts in a group was selected for calculating the <br />LCA results. The datasets are less than 5 years old. <br />Data for production and packaging are based on <br />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 dispersion-based product was <br />selected as the declared unit. Depending on the <br />application, a corresponding conversion factor such as <br />the specific weight per surface area must be taken into <br />consideration.</p> <p>4.

LCA: Interpretation <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) derive from the energy resources <br />used in the production of raw materials. The largest <br />contributor to Primary Energy Demand – Renewable <br />(PERT) is the consumption of renewable energy <br />resources required for the generation and supply of <br />electricity. During manufacturing (A1-A3) relevant <br />influence also arises due to the wooden pallets used <br />as packaging that need solar energy for <br />photosynthesis. It should be noted that Primary Energy <br />Demand – Renewable (PERT) generally represents a <br />small percentage of the production phase primary <br />energy demand with the bulk of the demand coming <br />from non-renewable energy resources.</p> <p>6</p> <p>Transportation to the construction site (A4) and the <br />installation process (A5) make a minor contribution to <br />almost all impacts. The only exception is the <br />photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP) that is <br />significantly influenced by the installation of the product <br />due to emissions of volatile substances of maximum <br />0.1%. This leads to a contribution of the installation <br />phase of up to 35% on the overall life cycle of the <br />product. Emissions associated with the manufacturing <br />of products (A3) only have a negligible influence on <br />POCP. <br />In module A4, transport to construction site, values for <br />POCP are negative due to emission profile modelled <br />for the selected transportation process and of the <br />characterisation method used in /CML 2001/ for the <br />calculation of the POCP. Transportation processes are <br />responsible for the emission of NOx in the ground layer</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA – Dispersion-based products, solvent-free</p> <p>atmosphere. NO in particular can have an ozone <br />depleting effect that is reflected in /CML 2001/ by <br />assigning a negative characterisation factor to this <br />substance. However, although these negative values <br />may appear unusual, it should be considered that <br />POCP is only one of the analysed environmental <br />impact categories. All other potential impacts would <br />increase with greater transportation distances, showing <br />that transportation is a process leading to net <br />environmental burdens. Furthermore, even for POCP, <br />transportation processes needed for supply of</p> <p>materials and product distribution only have limited <br />counterbalance effects on the overall LCA results. <br />Scrap burdens and energy credit from incineration of <br />packaging material reported in module D are of little <br />importance. <br />In general, 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.</p> <p>7. Requisite evidence <br />7.1 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 products in <br />question. <br />Evidence pertaining to VOC emissions shall show <br />either an attestation of compliance with, <br />or documentation of test data that are required 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 <br />/EN 16516/, after the on-going revision of /CEN/TS <br />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>7</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 – Dispersion-based products, 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. Some details may be <br />missing in the table due to lack of space. Values given <br />represent maximum values/limits. <br />7.2 Leaching: <br />Dispersion-based products in outdoor applications are <br />not used in areas with contact to soil and groundwater. <br />There are currently no European or national</p> <p>assessment criteria or emission scenarios in place for <br />scenarios involving watered components. <br />7.3 Fire gas toxicity <br />The fire gases incurred by organic products contain <br />hazardous substances but no particularly hazardous <br />emissions. Testing toxicity of the fire gases makes <br />sense particularly in the system configuration of the <br />products and is therefore not carried out for individual <br />coatings as the fire gases are essentially influenced by <br />the type of substrate involved.</p> <p>8.
