Kooltherm® K15 C
Use advice for data set Scope: The insulation material Kooltherm® is produced by Kingspan Insulation B.V. at the manufacturing facility in Tiel, the Netherlands. A glass tissue based facing is autohesively bonded to the insulation core during manufacture. In order to enable the user of the EPD to calculate the LCA results for different thicknesses, the EPD contains the respective calculation rules. System boundary: Type of EPD: according to EN 15804: cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4, and module D (A1–A3, C, D and additional modules: A4,A5). According to PCR Part A: 1a) declaration of one specific product from one plant of one manufacturer. The product stage is a mandatory information module and it covers: - A1, raw material extraction and processing, processing of secondary material input (e.g. recycling processes) - A2, transport to the manufacturer - A3, manufacturing, including the provision of all materials, products and energy, packaging processing and its transport, as well as waste processing up to the end-of waste state or disposal of final residues during the product stage. The construction process stage includes: - A4 transport to the building site; - A5 installation in the building including provision of all materials, products and energy, as well as waste processing up to the end-of-waste state or disposal of final residues during the construction process stage. The end-of-life stage is a mandatory information module and it covers: - C1 de-construction, demolition; - C2 transport to waste processing; - C3 waste processing for reuse, recovery and/or recycling; - C4 disposal (not applicable for this EPD) including provision and all transport, provision of all materials, products and related energy and water use. Environmental burden of the incineration (R1 > 60%) of the product at the end-of-life stage are assigned to the product system (C3); resulting potential credits for thermal and electrical energy from energy substitution are declared in module D. Renewable electricity sources for manufacturing All electricity used during production comes from renewable sources. By generating energy on-site with solar panels and with procured energy from fully certified renewable sources. Following the global Net Zero Energy strategy from Kingspan Group plc.
Technical purpose of product or process Due to its high insulating value the Kooltherm® K15 C is suitable for use as insulation for ventilated facades in both new and renovation construction and also on concrete element in semi-sandwich constructions.

Technology description including background system Phenolic foam is produced by the use of phenolic resin, a catalyst, additives and blowing agent. The cell structure is formed in the resin under the influence of heat released during the chemical reaction. Hereby, the blowing agent is incorporated into the material which forms a solid and very fine cell structure, which is nearly 100% closed. The foam is applied on the facings. After this, the thickness and strength is determined by the conveyor belt where upper and lower rollers compress the material into the desired thickness. The board is sawed into the correct size and packed according to the product specification. Declared unit: The declared unit (1 m²) and conversion factors are listed in the table below.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
