| Use advice for data set | Scope: This Environmental Product Declaration refers to an average of the following products manufactured by FDT Flachdach Technologie GmbH at its Mannheim plant: Rhepanol hfk 1.5 mm Rhepanol hfk-bs 1.5 mm 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 results shown declare an average for the two products Rhepanol hfk and Rhepanol hfkbs. Averaging is based on the corresponding production volumes (by area produced). 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:Manual dismantling of the roofing membranes is declared in this module. 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 | Rhepanol hfk is used for sealing purposes on both flat and inclined roofs in mechanically fastened or bonded layer structures and for ballasted, green, pebble or used roofs. Rhepanol hfk is also used as a damp-proof sheet (type A) and as a tanking sheet (type T). Rhepanol hfk-bs is used for sealing purposes on both flat and inclined roofs in mechanically fastened or bonded layer structures and for ballasted, pebble or used roofs with the exception of green roofs. Rhepanol hfk-bs can be laid directly on unbacked polystyrene insulation. The manufacturers installation instructions must be observed during processing. | ||

| General comment on data set | Rhepanol hfk and Rhepanol hfk-bs are multi-layer bitumen-compatible polyisobutylene (PIB) plastic roofing membranes consisting of high-molecular PIB, copolymers and functional additives with lamination on the underside, available in various colours and designs. The seams are joined using hot air welding. Rhepanol hfk Rhepanol hfk (sealing layer: 1.5 mm) has a plastic fleece lamination on the underside (application type for roof waterproofing: DE/E1 PIB-BV-K1.5 and application type for structural waterproofing: BA PIB-BV-K-PV1.5). Rhepanol hfk-bs Rhepanol hfk-bs (sealing layer 1.5 mm) has a plastic fleece/glass fleece composite lamination on the underside (application type for roof waterproofing: DE/E1 PIB-BV-K-PV/GV1.5 and application type for structural waterproofing: BA-PIB-BV-K-PV/GV1.5). The LCA results shown declare an average for the two products Rhepanol hfk and Rhepanol hfk-bs. Averaging is based on the corresponding production volumes (by area produced). | ||

| Technology description including background system | Rhepanol hfk or Rhepanol hfk-bs compounds are produced by a mixer in which the individual raw materials are combined to form a homogeneous mass before being granulated. The granulate is added to a calendar via another mixing extruder and mixing roll which shapes the lower foil layer. In another process step, the top foil layer is manufactured the same way and applied to the bottom foil layer. The plastic membrane and polyester fleece are then bonded together with Rhepanol hfk or polyester/glass fleece composite with Rhepanol hfk-bs. The manufacturing process is rounded off with packing the roofing membranes. 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, as well as further quality audits for approvals in the export sector. Declared unit: The declared unit is 1 m produced Rhepanol hfk and Rhepanol hfk-bs roofing membrane with a sealing layer of 1.5 mm. | ||
