Double skin steel faced sandwich panels with a core made of mineral wool
Use advice for data set Scope: This document is an association EPD and it represents an average EPD. Its applicability is limited to continuously produced double skin steel faced sandwich panels with an insulating core made of mineral wool, which are manufactured by member companies of the European Association for Panels and Profiles. The following eight member companies of the European Association for Panels and Profiles have provided data for the year 2016: 1. Hoesch Bausysteme 2. ISOCAB France 3. Isolpack 4. Italpannelli 5. Metecno Bausysteme 6. N.V. Joris Ide Belgium 7. Romakowski 8. Trimo System boundary: Type of the EPD: cradle to gate - with options Production stage (modules A1-A3) includes processes that provide materials and energy input for the system, manufacturing and transport processes up to the factory gate, as well as waste processing. For the end of life it is assumed that the steel proportion is recycled with credit for the recycling potential declared in module D and the MW proportion is landfilled without any credit.
Technical purpose of product or process The products are used for structural, self-supporting and non-supporting applications in roof, wall and ceiling structures. Sandwich panels in wall and roof applications take on tasks of the building physics, especially sound, heat and moisture safety. They simultaneously perform the function of air tightness of the building envelope.

General comment on data set The EPD applies to prefabricated double skin steel faced sandwich panels with a core made of mineral wool, which are produced by member companies of PPA-Europe. The profiled internal and external faces are made of a core of steel, which is protected against corrosion with zinc and organic coatings. The thermal insulating core material is made of mineral wool according to /EN 13162/ with sealing tapes. The core is bonded with adhesive to the steel sheets on both sides, to ensure a certain resistance to shear forces of the panel. The LCA is based on vertical averaging of the specific producer datasets under consideration of the respective yearly production amounts.

Technology description including background system Double skin steel faced sandwich panels with a core made of mineral wool (MW) are prefabricated elements used for structural, self-supporting and non-supporting applications in roof, wall and ceiling structures. Sandwich panels in wall and roof applications take on tasks of the building physics, especially sound, heat and moisture safety. They simultaneously perform the function of air tightness of the building envelope. The MW cored sandwich panels are manufactured on a continuous production line. The faces of the panel consist of steel sheets with zinc and organic coatings for protection against corrosion. The production process begins by unwinding the steel coils and continues with the roll forming of the sheets. MW plates are cut in lamellas and inserted between the two sheets. Adhesive is applied between the mineral wool core and the steel faces on both sides of the line. The sheets together with the MW core are pulled in the double belt press, where the bond gets stabilized. Afterwards, the panels are cut at the wished length, stacked and packaged. Technical data: Technical specifications for sandwich panels with a core made of mineral wool are: /EN 14509/ /EN 13162/ Declared unit: The declared unit is 1 m² of sandwich element. The averaging is done based on the production volume per company.
