| Use advice for data set | Scope: The declaration covers the product VALMEX® FR 1400. The product is a technical textile made out of a combination of Polyester and Polyvinylchloride with a polyvinyl fluoride finish. The fully coated fabric weight is 1350g/m². The calculations are based on average production data collected during the period 11/2011 to 10/2012. The producing company is Low & Bonar GmbH. The above named products are produced at the production site in Fulda. System boundary: The analysis of the product life cycle includes production of the basic materials, transport of the basic materials, manufacture of the product and the packaging materials which are declared in module A1-A3. In this LCA study scenario of end-of-life (EoL) stage is considered. It is incineration of the technical textiles in the incineration plant which burdens accounted in the module C4. The collection rate of end-of-life stage is 100%. In this LCA study the transport of the used product to final disposal was modeled (module C2). Potential credits for electricity and thermal energy resulting from the waste incineration plant are declared in module D. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The range of application for those products is mainly tensile architecture. These kinds of structures can be easily integrated into regular buildings, can be very variably shaped and adapted to many forms of construction typologies. These can range from roof coverings, sun-shading elements to façade coverings, interior ceilings and divider elements. A traditional tensile or lightweight structure performs always under tension instead of compression and bending. The material can be used for permanent or temporary applications. Flexible and harmonic forms are characteristic for this type of architecture. These tensile (or tension) structures can be supported mechanically or pneumatically. |

| General comment on data set | The product is a technical textile made out of a combination of Polyester and Polyvinylchloride with a Polyvinyl fluoride finish. The base fabric is composed of high tenacity multifilament and low wick treated polyester yarns. The coating mass distribution (CMD) ratio is 3:2 asymmetrically distributed (Topside 3 parts: Reverse side 2 parts). On both sides are at least 4 layers of coating, those include adhesion layer, main coating made out of Polyvinylchloride with several additives, Nano-Titanium dioxide primer and top coat made out of a weldable blend of high concentrated polyvinyl fluoride (PVDF) lacquer. The declared product has a weight of 1350 g/m². |
