| Use advice for data set | Scope: This validated Declaration entitles the holder to bear the symbol of the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V. It exclusively applies for products produced in Europe and for a period of five years from the date of issue. This EPD may be used by FEICA members and their members provided it has been proven that the respective product can be represented by this EPD. For this purpose a guideline is available at the FEICA secretariat. The members of FEICA are listed on its website. System boundary: Modules A1-A3, A4, A5 and D are taken into consideration in the LCA: A1 Production of preliminary products A2 Transport to plant A3 Production incl. provision of energy, production of packaging as well as auxiliaries and consumables, waste treatment) A4 Transport to site A5 Installation (disposal of packaging & installation losses and emissions during installation) D Credits from incineration of packaging materials & installation losses and recycling the metal container The declaration is therefore from "cradle to gate - with options". |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Reactive resins based on epoxy resins, unfilled/solvent-free, are used for the following applications: Module 1: Reactive resins for protecting and repairing concrete structures Products for surface protection of concrete, for increasing the durability of concrete and reinforced concrete structures as well as for new concrete and for maintenance and repair work; products for structural bonding for the structural bonding of strengthening materials to an existing concrete structure and products for concrete injection for filling cracks, voids and interstices in concrete Module 2: Reactive resins for liquid-applied bridge deck waterproofing kits Products for liquid-applied waterproofing for use on concrete bridge decks Module 3: Reactive resins for watertight covering kits Watertight covering kits for wet room floors and/or walls inside buildings Module 4: Screed material and floor screeds Products for screed / synthetic resin screed for use in floor constructions Module 5: Reactive resins for waterproofing components made of concrete or brickwork and for pre-treating mineral sub-surfaces such as screed or concrete flooring prior to flooring, parquet and tiling work Applications in accordance with the manufacturer's technical documentation / declaration of performance Module 6: Reactive resins for optical design of concrete components Products for usually coloured design of concrete accompanied by less-specified surface protection and improved durability of concrete and reinforced concrete surfaces. The same applies for other mineral sub-surfaces such as plaster, stone and brickwork. On account of the susceptibility of epoxy resin layers to weathering factors (yellowing, whiting after extensive weathering), a final polyurethane-based coating is usually applied to epoxy layers in outdoor applications. |

| General comment on data set | Reactive resins based on epoxy resin, unfilled/solvent-free The reactive resins are manufactured in a two-component process using epoxy resins and hardening agents. They comply with multiple, often specific tasks in the construction, fitting and repair of structures. By using reactive resins based on epoxy resin, unfilled/solvent-free, the fitness for use of structures is decisively improved and their life time extended. The product displaying the highest environmental impacts was used as a representative product for calculating the Life Cycle Assessment results (worst case-approach). |

| Technology description including background system | The formulated product components are usually mixed from the ingredients in batch mode and packaged for delivery, whereby quality and environmental standards in accordance with /ISO 9001:2008-12/ and the provisions outlined in the relevant regulations such as the Industrial Safety Regulation and Federal Pollution Control Act are adhered to. Technical data: Module 1: Reactive resins for protecting and repairing concrete structures The minimum requirements apply in accordance with /EN 1504/ . These are: 1.1 Surface protection systems for concrete – Requirements on performance characteristics for all intended uses in accordance with /EN 1504-2:2005-01/, Tables 1 and 5: - Permeability to CO2 (/EN 1062-6:2002-10/) - Water vapour permeability (/EN ISO 7783-1/-2:2012-02/) - Capillary absorption and permeability to water (/EN 1062-3:2008-04/) - Adhesive strength by pull off test (/EN 1542:1999-07/) 1.2 Products for structural bonding – Performance characteristics for all intended uses in accordance with Tables 3.1 and 3.2 (manufacturer's declaration of performance)- 1.3 Products for concrete injection for filling cracks, voids and interstices in concrete– Requirements on performance characteristics for all intended uses in accordance with /EN 1504-5:2005-03/, Table 3: - Injectability (/EN 1771:2004-11/) - Viscosity (/EN ISO 3219:1994-10/) Other performance characteristics in accordance with the manufacturer's technical documentation / declaration of performance Module 2: Reactive resins for liquid-applied bridge deck waterproofing kits The minimum requirements of /ETAG 033/ apply. The performance characteristics must be indicated in accordance with the European Technical Assessment. Module 3: Reactive resins for watertight covering kits The minimum requirements of the /ETAG 022/ apply. The performance characteristics must be indicated in accordance with the European Technical Assessment. Module 4: Screed material and floor screeds The minimum requirements of /EN 13813:2003-01/ apply. For synthetic resin screeds, these are: - Bond strength (/EN 13892-8:2003-02/) - Reaction to fire (/EN 13501-1:2010-01/) Performance characteristics in accordance with the manufacturer's technical documentation / declaration of performance Module 5: Reactive resins for waterproofing components made of concrete or brickwork and for pre-treating mineral sub-surfaces such as screed or concrete flooring prior to flooring, parquet and tiling work The following minimum requirements must be fulfilled: Declared unit: This EPD refers to the declared unit of 1 kg reactive resin based on epoxy resin, unfilled/solvent-free of density 1 - 1.25 g/cm³ in the mixing ratio required for processing both components in accordance with the PCR Part B for Reactive resin products. Consumption per unit area of the products to be applied extensively can range between only a few hundred grams and more than 1 kg per square metre. In the case of products, which are injected, the application volume depends on the component to be injected. The results of the Life Cycle Assessment provided in this declaration have been calculated from the product with the highest environmental impact (worst-case scenario). |
