| Use advice for data set | Scope: Product line norament® 926 High-pressure pressed homogeneous floor coverings made from rubber in various colours and designs. This declaration is an Environmental Product Declaration according to ISO 14025 describing the specific environmental performance of the mentioned construction products produced in Germany (Weinheim/Bergstrae). System boundary: Type of EPD: from cradle to gate with options The analysis of the product life cycle includes the following stages: Production stage A1-A3: Consideration of production of the basic materials and the manufacturing of the floor covering incl. packaging material Transport A4: Assumption for the transport of the products to the construction site Installation A5: Production, transport and incineration of the off-cut material (gained energy is declared in D as avoided environmental burden), disposal of the packaging (incineration of PE-film). The pretreatment of the underground surface (prime coat, levelling comoound, adhesive) is not considered. This treatment depends on the building and the application and need to be specified for the particular case Use stage B2: Scenario for maintenance/ cleaning according to the manufacturer's recommendation (see 4.) End-of-Life stage C1, C2, C3: Scenario for the incineration of the floor covering incl. removal from the building and transport to the waste incineration plant (gained energy is declared in D as avoided environmental burden). Benefits for the next product system D: Extgraction for electrical and thermal energy from the waste incineration process of the product, the off-cuts and the packaging material. Contributions of waste flows are considered in the modules where they occur. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The main production stages are initially the weighing and mixing of the rubber mixture from the various components; the blanks are shaped on the calender. Vulcanization (cross-linking by sulphur) takes place in high-pressure multi-daylight presses at a press pressure of approx. 1,200 tons and a temperature of 170°C. Due to the high pressure, a dense, closed vulcanization skin forms on the surface. The vulcanized tiles are sanded over their entire surface on the back and punched to the exact final dimensions. The finished product is one square meter of tiles weighing 5.40 kg. nora systems GmbH obtains all its electrical energy for production and administration at the Weinheim site from renewable energies from the Ørsted offshore wind farms in the Danish North and Baltic Seas. The IBU has corresponding proof of this. Thermal energy is generated centrally or in boilers at individual plants using natural gas. The quality and energy management of nora Systems GmbH is certified in accordance with /DIN EN ISO 9001/ and /DIN EN ISO 50001/. Technical data: Excerpt of technical data sheets: (available at www.nora.com) Declared unit: The reference unit is 1 m of floor covering. The values of module A1-A3 refer to 1 m produced. This EPD represents a product declaration, i.e. the production and disposal of off-cuts during installation stage are assigned to module A5. The combined modules A1-A3, A4 and A5 refer to a reference unit of 1 m installed. The material for subfloor preparation and adhesive bonding, needed during installation, is not considered. Information on the complete floor structure can be found in Environmental Product Declarations based to the PCR Dispersion adhesives and primers for floor coverings and Mineral factory-made mortar. | ||
