| Use advice for data set | Scope: JACKON Insulation as data provider produces the extruded polystyrene foam boards JACKODUR Plus containing HFO 1234ze as blowing agent. The data have been provided by one factory in Arendsee/Germany for the year 2019. System boundary: Type of EPD: cradle-to-gate (A1 - A3) – with options. The following modules are considered in the Life Cycle Assessment: • The raw material supply (A1) comprises the production of polysterene granulate, blowing agents and flame retardants. • The transport to manufacturer is considered in module A2. • The manufacturing of XPS (A3) comprises the energy consumption, packaging of the product and auxilliaries. • Transport to construction site is calculated with 500 km via truck (A4). • Incineration of packaging materials are considered in module A5. • Transport to disposal (EoL) is calculated with 50 km via truck (C2). • For the End-of-Life stage two different scenarios are considered in the LCA. One scenario with 100% landfill (module C4) and one scenario with 100% incineration (module C3) are calculated. The incineration of XPS results in credits for thermal energy and power under European boundary conditions (D) - beyond system boundary. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | The variety of the performance properties of JACKODUR Plus make it suitable for use in a large number of applications such as: perimeter insulation, inverted roof insulation, insulation of pitched roofs, floor insulation including insulation of highly loaded industrial floors, insulation of thermal bridges for exterior walls, External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), insulation of cavity walls, agricultural building ceiling insulation, prefabricated elements e.g. building sandwich panels, insulation for building equipment and industrial installations (pipe sections, …). | ||

| General comment on data set | JACKODUR Plus is an extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) produced according to EN 13164 and available in board shape with a density range from 30 to 50 kg/m3, 35,54 kg/m3 in average (measured). It has specifically low values of thermal conductivity by using Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO)1234 ze as blowing agent. The boards are also called Super XPS in Scandinavia. The boards can be delivered in various compressive strength values from 300 to 700 kPa. To meet the need of various applications the boards are produced with different surfaces: with the extrusion skin, planed, grooved or with thermal embossing. JACKODUR Plus boards are supplied with different edge treatments such as butt edge, ship-lap and tongue and groove. The EPD is related to an unlaminated product only; lamination and additional product treatment are not considered. | ||

| Technology description including background system | JACKODUR Plus is produced by a continuous extrusion process using electricity as the main power source: polystyrene granules are melted in an extruder and a blowing agent is injected into the extruder under high pressure. The drop in pressure at the exit die causes the polystyrene to foam into a board with homogeneous and closed-cell structure. Then the boards’ edges are trimmed, and the product is cut to dimensions. The smooth foam skin resulting from the extrusion process remains on the boards or is removed mechanically for particular board types to achieve better adhesive strength in combination with e. g. concrete, mortar, or construction adhesives. Some boards receive special surface patterns or grooves. JACKODUR Plus foams off-grade material or scrap from production is recycled in the production process of extruded polystyrene foam XPS. The manufacturing plant in Arendsee/Germany is certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 50001. Technical data: Acoustic properties are not relevant for JACKODUR Plus. For fire performance, these products except in Scandinavia achieve the fire classification Euroclass E according to EN 13501-1. Declared unit: The declared unit is 1 m3 XPS. Corresponding conversion factors are listed in the table below. | ||
