Factorymade dry mortar is a finished mixture of base materials <br />which merely requires the addition of water on the <br />building site. The products can be supplied in 1-5 kg <br />bags, 15-25 kg sacks, Big Bags (1 t), minitainers (1.2 t) <br />or as silo goods (5-15 t). <br />Paper sacks with polyethylene lining were modelled as <br />packaging (worst-case approach). <br />2.6 <br />Base materials / Ancillary materials <br />On average, the products covered by this EPD contain <br />the following ranges of base materials and auxiliaries <br />referred to: <br />Cement: ~ 10 - 85% <br />Filler materials: ~ 10 - 60% <br />Plaster: ~ 0 - 1% <br />Additives: ~ 0 - 5% <br />Dispersion powder: ~ 0 - 30% <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. Mortar for special</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA – Modified mineral mortars, group 3</p> <p>applications can also contain fungicides, whereby the <br />functional group of fungicides is dependent on the <br />chemical specification. <br />2.7 <br />Manufacture <br />The raw materials are stored in silos, big bags or sacks <br />in the manufacturing plant and fed gravimetrically in <br />accordance with the respective formula and mixed <br />intensively. The mix is then packaged. <br />Quality and environmental standards in accordance <br />with /ISO 9001:2008-12/ and the provisions outlined in <br />the relevant regulations such as the Industrial Safety <br />Regulation and Federal Pollution Control Act are <br />adhered to. <br />2.8</p> <p>Environment and health during <br />manufacturing <br />The state-of-the-art involves maximum recirculation of <br />dry waste into production. Wherever dust is incurred <br />during production in the plant, it is directed to a filter <br />system taking consideration of the limit values <br />applicable for the workplace and using the <br />corresponding extraction plants. Sack discharge <br />stations connected to the extraction plant offer <br />employees additional protection from dust. Most of the <br />dust collected in the filter system and any residue <br />incurred during production is returned to the <br />manufacturing process. <br />Powder residues: Residual product is returned to the <br />production process wherever possible. <br />Air: Process air is dedusted autonomously, whereby <br />the values are far below legal requirements. <br />Water: The production process does not involve water. <br />Very low volumes of water are required for laboratory <br />tests and for sanitary facilities. <br />Noise: Noise level measurements have indicated that <br />all values established within the production facility fall <br />below the hearing protection limit of 85dB(A). <br />Waste: The main types of waste are powder waste, <br />paper (paper bags) and foil. Low volumes of metal <br />scrap (metal containers), waste oil (maintenance), <br />wood (pallets) and commercial waste are incurred. All <br />waste is separated, stored and redirected to the <br />recycling circuit or disposed of. <br />2.9 <br />Product processing/Installation <br />Modified mineral mortars can be processed both <br />automatically and manually. The mortars are either <br />automatically removed from a silo using a dry conveyor <br />or manually taken from the container, mixed with water <br />and installed. <br />The professional liability association's rules apply as <br />well as the respective safety data sheets pertaining to <br />the construction products. <br />On account of the various hydrate levels of cement, <br />lime and calcium sulphate binding agents in the <br />mineral mortar, the fresh mortar mixed with water is <br />usually strongly alkaline. In the case of more extensive <br />contact, this alkaline state can cause serious damage <br />to eyes and skin. Therefore, any contact with eyes or <br />skin must be avoided by taking personal protective <br />measures and the information outlined on the safety <br />data sheet must be observed. <br />Uncontrolled dust emissions should be avoided. <br />Modified mineral mortars may not be discharged into <br />the sewage system, surface water or groundwater. <br />Waste incurred on the building site (packaging, pallets, <br />residual mortar) must be collected separately. Suitable <br />waste disposal companies dispose of packaging <br />materials and mortar sacks and return them to the <br />recycling circuit. Dry mortar residue is taken back by <br />4</p> <p>the manufacturing plants and used as a raw <br />material.No dry mortar residue in mortar sacks is <br />incurred. Hard mortar residue can be recycled or <br />disposed of as building site rubble. <br />2.10 Packaging <br />A detailed description of packaging is provided in <br />section 2.5. Empty, trickle-free paper containers and <br />clean PE foils can be recycled. <br />2.11 Condition of use <br />Modified mineral mortar does not rot and is resistant to <br />ageing when used in accordance with the designated <br />purpose of the respective products. <br />It is a durable product which, when used as adhesive, <br />screed, waterproofing material or repair product, <br />makes an essential contribution towards improving <br />building function and value. <br />2.12 Environment and health during use <br />Owing to the stable crystalline bond and firm structure <br />achieved after curing, emissions are extremely low and <br />harmless to health when used in accordance with the <br />designated purpose of the respective products. <br />No risks are known for water, air and soil if the <br />products are used as designated. <br />Natural ionising radiation from mineral mortar is <br />extremely low and negligible in terms of health <br />hazards. <br />Options for applications in indoor areas with <br />permanent stays by people: <br />Evidence of the emission performance of construction <br />products in contact with indoor air and depending on <br />the designated use must be submitted for applications <br />in indoor areas with permanent stays by people, e.g. in <br />accordance with the /AgBB/ test scheme or the /GEV/ <br />(Gemeinschaft Emissionskontrollierte <br />Verlegewerkstoffe, Klebstoffe und Bauprodukte e.V., <br />Düsseldorf) /EMICODE/® marking system typically <br />applied in Germany. <br />2.13 Reference service life <br />Modified mineral mortars 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 />In accordance with Commission Decision 94/611EC, <br />modified mineral binding agents comprising finelydistributed organic components must always be <br />classified in reaction-to-fire class A1 "No contribution <br />to fire" in accordance with /EN 13501-1/. <br />Where higher percentages of organic components are <br />involved, it can also be assumed that at least the <br />requirements of /EN 13501-1/ are maintained for fire <br />class E and Efl. <br />Water <br />No relevant volumes of water-soluble substances <br />hazardous to water are washed out when exposed to <br />water (e.g. flooding). Cement-based mortar is stable in <br />terms of structure and is not subject to any changes in <br />form when exposed to water and drying.</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA – Modified mineral mortars, group 3</p> <p>Mechanical destruction <br />The mechanical destruction of modified mineral <br />mortars does not lead to any decomposition products <br />which are harmful for the environment or health. Dust <br />incurred during de-construction should be avoided by <br />taking the appropriate measures (e.g. humidification). <br />2.15 Re-use phase <br />Components manufactured using modified mineral <br />mortars can usually be easily demolished. When <br />removing a building, the materials do not need to be <br />treated as special waste; care should, however, be <br />taken to ensure unmixed residual materials wherever <br />possible. Mineral mortars can usually be redirected to <br />normal building material recycling circuits. Re-use is <br />generally in the form of recycled aggregate in building <br />construction and civil engineering. <br />No practical experience is currently available for reusing components comprising modified mineral mortar <br />after decommissioning.</p> <p>2.16 Disposal <br />The portion of a modified mineral mortar-based <br />product applied at an other construction product is <br />rather low. These low amounts do not play a role <br />when the construction product is disposed. They do <br />not interfere with the disposal/recycling of other <br />components / building materials. <br />The following European Waste Codes waste (EWC) <br />codes can apply: <br />Mineral mortar: /EWC 2000/532/EC 170101/ and <br />/EWC 2000/532/EC 101314/ <br />Mineral filler and levelling compound: /EWC <br />2000/532/EC 170107/ <br />Calcium sulphate-based filler and levelling compound: <br />/EWC 2000/532/EC 170802/ <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 modified <br />mineral mortar with a density of 800 - 1,700 kg/m³. <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). <br />With the information about the consumption per <br />surface area the results can be calculated into a <br />declared unit of kg/m³. <br />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 & <br />installation losses and emissions during <br />installation) <br /> <br />D Credits from incineration of packaging <br />materials <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 recipe ingredients of formulation were <br />estimated on the basis of information provided by the <br />manufacturer or literary sources.</p> <p>5</p> <p>3.4 <br />Cut-off criteria <br />All raw materials submitted for the formulations and <br />production data were taken into consideration. The <br />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. Transport of packaging materials is also <br />excluded. <br />3.5 <br />Background data <br />Data from the /GaBi/ ts database was used as <br />background data. Where no background data was <br />available, it was complemented by manufacturer <br />information and literary research. <br />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 less than 5 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 />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 <br />allocation with a credit for electricity and thermal <br />energy was used for incineration of packaging <br />materials. The credits achieved through packaging <br />disposal are declared in 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 modified mineral mortar was selected <br />as the declared unit.

The material amounts, displayed with these inventories, contribute <br />significantly to the production. The indicators Use of fresh water, Hazardous waste disposed, Non-hazardous <br />waste disposed and Radioactive waste disposed are therefore not declared (decision of IBU advisory board 201301-07).</p> <p>6. 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. The majority of life <br />cycle energy consumption takes place during the <br />production phase (A1-A3). Besides the cement also <br />the dispersion powder influences the results <br />significantly, although this is only used up to 5%. <br />Significant contributions to Primary Energy Demand – <br />Non-renewable (PENRT) derive from the energy <br />resources used in the production of raw materials. The <br />largest contributor to Primary Energy Demand – <br />Renewable (PERT) is the consumption of renewable <br />7</p> <p>energy resources required for the generation and <br />supply of electricity. During manufacturing (A1-A3) <br />some influence also arises due to the wooden pallets <br />and paper used as packaging that need solar energy <br />for photosynthesis. It should be noted that Primary <br />Energy Demand – Renewable (PERT) generally <br />represents a small percentage of the production phase <br />primary energy demand with the bulk of the demand <br />coming from non-renewable energy resources. <br />CO2 is the most important contributor to Global <br />Warming Potential (GWP). For the Acidification <br />Potential (AP), NOx and SO2 contribute to the largest <br />share.</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration FEICA – Modified mineral mortars, group 3</p> <p>Transportation to the construction site (A4) and the <br />installation process (A5) make a negligible contribution <br />to almost all impacts. The only exception is a relevant <br />influence of carbon dioxide emissions in module A5 to <br />Global Warming Potential (GWP) due to the <br />incineration of the packaging materials paper and <br />pallets. <br />In module A4, transport to construction site, values for <br />Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP) are <br />negative due to emission profile modelled for the <br />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 <br />atmosphere. NO in particular can have an ozone</p> <p>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 <br />materials and product distribution only have limited <br />counterbalance effects on the overall LCA results. <br />Energy credit from incineration of packaging material <br />reported in module D show a negligible influence on <br />the overall results.</p> <p>7.
