| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to the coloured core laminate produced by EGGER Kunststoffe GmbH & Co.KG (a subsidiary of Fritz EGGER GmbH & Co. OG) in the Gifhorn plant (Germany). This document is translated from the German Environmental Product Declaration into English. It is based on the German original version EPD-EGG-20150065-IBA1-DE. The verifier has no influence on the quality of the translation. System boundary: The present study represents a cradle-to-gate approach with options. Module A1-A3, Module C4, and Module D are considered. The system thus includes raw material procurement, transport, manufacturing, and the energetic utilisation of the product. The data collection reference year is 2013 in the Gifhorn, Germany plant. The following life cycle phases are taken into account: - product stage - disposal stage - credits and charges outside the system limits The EPD system limits follow the modular approach of /EN 15804/. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Laminates are non-weight-bearing and only serve as lamination materials. EGGER laminates are only suitable for indoor applications. The laminate quality with coloured core is primarily used for the lamination of wood-based materials, but also for other support materials - for producing the so-called joining elements for furniture or interior design. |

| General comment on data set | EGGER coloured core laminate is a decorative laminate based on curable resins (high-pressure decorative laminates). This high-pressure decorative laminate consists of cellulose fibre web (paper) impregnated with heat-setting resins. It has a multilayer structure and consists of several melamine resin impregnated decorative papers. These multiple layers are pressed together by means of high pressure and heat. |

| 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 438-9:2010/. The laminates consist of layers of cellulose fibre webs (usually paper) that are impregnated with curable resins. The individual paper layers are impregnated with resins on the basis of melamine. 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 coloured core laminate is tested according to the testing procedure described in /EN438-2:2016/ and complies with the requirements stipulated in /EN 438-9:2010+A1/. The technical sheet "EGGER Coloured Core Laminate " contains detailed information concerning quality features and product characteristics. www.egger.com/laminates Declared unit: The declared unit is one square meter coloured core laminate 0.8 mm (1.080 kg/m2). |
