| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to the laminate produced by EGGER Kunststoffe GmbH & Co.KG (a subsidiary of Fritz EGGER GmbH & Co. OG) in the Gifhorn plant (Germany). It is an average EGGER Laminate Flammex. System boundary: The LCA of the average EGGER Laminate Flammex includes a cradle-to-gate consideration of the occurring environmental impact with the modules C1-C4 and module D (A1-A3, +C, +D). The following life cycle phases are taken into account in the analysis: Module A1– A3 | Production stage The production stage includes the expenses for the supply of raw materials (cellulose pulp webs - usually paper such as kraft, decorative and parchment paper, production of the basic chemicals used as well as components for phenolic and melamine resin impregnation, auxiliary materials, etc.) as well as the associated transports related to the production site in Gifhorn. Within the plant boundaries, the impregnation of the papers with melamine and phenolic resins, the pressing process in the double belt presses, formatting and reverse side sanding including packaging are taken into account. The electrical energy used is obtained from the German power grid. Thermal energy is provided by natural gas as an energy source. Module C1 | Dismantling / Demolition Manual dismantling was assumed for the laminates. The associated efforts are negligible, which means that no environmental impact from the dismantling of the products is declared. Module C2 | Transport to waste treatment Module C2 includes transport to waste treatment. For this purpose, transport by lorry over a distance of 50 km is used as a representative scenario. Module C3 | Waste processing The scenario used declares the energy recovery of the laminates. Corresponding environmental impacts are considered in Module C4. Module C4 | Disposal Module C4 declares the emissions from the energy recovery of the laminates after removal in a waste incineration plant as a fictitious scenario. In reality, the product is always removed together with other wood-based materials, for example, and recycled accordingly. Module D | Credits and charges beyond the limits of the product system In Module D, the substitution potentials for heat and electricity from energy recovery of the product in Module C4 are described in the form of a European average scenario. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Laminates are non load-bearing and only serve as lamination materials. EGGER laminates are only suitable for indoor applications. The laminate quality Flammex is used primarily for laminating doors, partition walls, and where flame-retardant elements are required. | ||

| General comment on data set | EGGER Laminate Flammex is a versatile decorative material which is processed in combination with classic wood-based materials such as MDF (medium density fibreboard), HDF (high density fibreboard) and chipboard or other core materials to form so-called laminate composite elements. Laminates consist of paper webs, impregnated with heat-setting resins. They have a multiple layer structure, which consists of a decorative melamine resin impregnated paper and one or more phenolic resin impregnated kraft core paper. These papers are then pressed together under high pressure and heat. The laminate quality Flammex can be classified according to the ÖNORM EN 438-1 as laminate type F – flame-retardant. In case of fire, the Laminate Flammex meets the special requirements of building materials class B1 per DIN 4102-1 and the French fire behaviour category M1 per NF P 92-501. The laminate structure, the resin and paper quality, the surface texture, the use of special overlays and the press parameters during production determine the laminate quality and therefore the subsequent use or area of application. | ||

| Technology description including background system | EGGER laminates are only produced using a continuous process. Dual-belt presses allow the continuous production of various laminate thicknesses and grades. This grade or type of laminate production is generally known as CPL (Continuous Pressed Laminates). Depending on the pressure during production, EGGER laminates are produced in accordance with or based on EN 438-3. The laminates consist of layers of cellulose fibre webs (usually paper) that are impregnated with curable resins. The one-sided outer layer(s) with decorative colours or patterns is (are) impregnated with melamine-based resins. The core layers are impregnated with phenolic resins. Applying heat and pressure causes the resins to flow and subsequently cure. Cross-linking of the resins, reinforced by the cellulose fibres of the papers, results in a very dense material with a sealed surface. Technical data: EGGER Laminate Flammex is tested according to the testing procedure described in EN 438-2 and complies with the requirements stipulated in EN 438-3. The technical data sheet "EGGER Laminate Flammex" contains detailed information concerning quality features and product characteristics. www.egger.com/laminate Declared unit: This environmental product declaration refers to a declared unit of one square meter of EGGER Laminate Flammex produced with an average grammage of 1044 g/m². | ||
