| Use advice for data set | Scope: Product line AF/ArmaFlex Evo Insulation material for industrial and building installations vulcanized in tubes and sheets. This declaration is an Environmental Product Declaration according to ISO 14025 describing the average environmental performance of the product produced in Germany, Spain and Poland. The average has been calculated based on site specific annual production volumes. As the installation of the product is not restricted to countries where the products have been produced the validity of this EPD is considered at least EU wide. System boundary: The data collection refers to the yearly production in 2020. The following life cycle stages are considered: Type of EPD: Cradle-to-Gate with options. Production A1-A3: The LCA calculation covers the production of the raw materials (supply chain – A1), the mixing of raw materials according to the respective recipes (MasterBatch) exclusively done in Münster, Germany, the transport (A2) of the MasterBatches to the production facility for foaming and the foaming process (A3) in Germany, Spain or Poland, including the packaging material. Transport A4: Average values for the transport from factory gate to construction site are assumed. Installation A5: The installation considers the production of off-cuts, incineration of these off-cuts and the disposal scenario for the packaging material. Auxiliaries like adhesives or tapes or energy for installation are not considered. End-of-life C2, C3: An incineration scenario for the used and demolished product, including an assumption for the transport to disposal, is covered. Benefits for the next product system D: Credits for electrical and thermal energy resulting from the waste incineration process of the off-cut material and packaging (A5) and the product (C3) are declared in module D. | ||

| General comment on data set | AF/ArmaFlex Evo is the professional, highly-flexible, closed-cell elastomeric foam insulation (FEF) for continuous energy saving and condensation control purposes. The combination of very low thermal conductivity and extremely high resistance to water vapour transmission prevents long-term energy losses and water vapour ingress and reduces the risk of corrosion under insulation. | ||

| Technology description including background system | ArmaFlex Evo products are manufactured in a pressureless, continuous and discontinuous production process. In the first step, a homogenous compound is produced with rubber, additives, ancillary materials, blowing and vulcanization agents. This is done on the rolling mill or in the internal mixer followed by the rolling mill. Rubber extruders are used to process the compounds to produce raw profiles with defined dimensions. Here exact compliance with the dimensions for the raw profile is crucial for the dimensional accuracy of the foamed product. In the case of the discontinuous, pressureless production process, the raw profiles are cut to length and then foamed in a hot-air oven. In the case of the continuous, pressureless process, the extruded profile is fed directly onto a vulcanization line whose energy source may be hot air. In foam production, vulcanization and blowing processes run alongside each other. Both reactions are regulated by temperature control. Recipe and temperature control determine the properties of the foam. Quality assurance: EC Certificate of conformity no. 0543 of the Gütegemeinschaft Hartschaum e.V. Celle. Quality management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001. Declared unit: The declaration refers to 1 m³ insulation product. For the LCA calculations the average density per product brand is used. As additional information and support for installers the thermal conductivity coefficient (lambda-value) and R-value per 20 cm thickness per product brand are given. | ||
