| Use advice for data set | Scope: This Environmental Product Declaration refers to the following products manufactured by FDT Flachdach Technologie GmbH at its Mannheim plant: Rhenofol CG 1.2 mm / 1.5 mm / 1.8 mm / 2.0 mm Rhenofol CV 1.2 mm / 1.5 mm / 1.8 mm / 2.0 mm The LCA results listed in this EPD represent an average of the two products Rhenofol CV and Rhenofol CG, and refer to a thickness of 1.5 mm. Averaging is based on the corresponding production volumes (by area produced). The EPD covers the production of the roofing membrane, the transport of the product to the construction site, the installation of the roofing membrane, the incineration, and the ensuing benefits for the next product system. The LCA results listed in this EPD refer to a thickness of 1.5 mm. Using the formula in Section 5, all results can be converted to other thicknesses. System boundary: The EPD type is in accordance with EN 15804+A2. This is an EPD from the cradle to the factory gate with options, Modules C1-C4 and Module D (A1-A3 + C + D and additional Modules A4 and A5). The individual life cycle stages are described below. Modules A1-A3 The product stage comprises Modules A1 (production and upstream chains of the raw materials used), A2 (transport to the production site), and A3 (energy and waste flows and packaging materials). Modules A4-A5 These modules include the transport to the construction site (A4) and utilisation of the packaging material (A5). Module C1: In this module, the manual dismantling of the roofing membranes is declared so that the associated environmental impacts are not relevant. Module C2 This module declares the transport of the used roofing membranes for waste management at the end of product life. Module C3 This module includes the thermal utilisation (100%) of the roofing membranes in a waste incineration plant (MVA) with an R1 value > 0.6. Module C4 Landfilling is not of relevance for the roofing membranes. Module D The potential benefits for the next product system are declared in this module. In addition, potential credits from the utilisation of packaging from Module A5 are indicated. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Rhenofol CV is used for sealing purposes on flat and inclined roofs in mechanically-fastened layers. Rhenofol CG is suitable for sealing green, gravel-ballasted or used roofs. The roofing membranes are also used as damp-proof sheets (type A) and as tanking sheets (type T). The manufacturers installation instructions must be observed during processing. | ||

| General comment on data set | Rhenofol CV and Rhenofol CG are multi-layer plastic roofing and waterproofing membranes based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC-P), available in various colours and designs: Rhenofol CV: Rhenofol CV (1.2 mm / 1.5 mm / 1.8 mm / 2.0 mm) has an internal layer of synthetic fibres as reinforcement (application type: DE/E1 PVC-P-NB-V-PG). Seams are joined by hot air or solvent welding agent. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The PVC mixture for Rhenofol CV and Rhenofol CG is produced via a dry blend. After homogenisation and jellifying in the heating mixer, the mixture is added to the cooling mixer from where it is plastified with an extruder and mixing roll and shaped as foil using calendar technology. A doubling calender is used to finish the roofing membrane with an internal reinforcement layer (Rhenofol CV) or an insert of glass fleece (Rhenofol CG). Production is subject to continuous measurement of product quality as part of the implemented quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001 and the energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001. The certification agency is TÜV Süd Management Service. Furthermore, external quality inspections (external monitoring) are carried out by an external, recognised state materials testing institute and further quality audits for export approvals. Declared unit: The declared unit is 1 m produced Rhenofol CV and Rhenofol CG roofing membrane with a sealing layer of 1.5 mm. | ||
