Key Data Set Information
Location	GB
Geographical representativeness description	Global. Transport to market is not included in this EPD.
Reference year	2024
Name	Protecta FR Adhesive (plastic cartridge)
Use advice for data set	The life cycle analysis is a cradle-to-gate (A1 - A3) study. It includes the extraction and production of raw materials and packaging, transportation to the manufacturing site, as well as the manufacturing process itself.
Technical purpose of product or process	Protecta FR Adhesive contains a water based inorganic polymer and filler, and is designed to withstand temperatures greater than 1,200 °C. It is supplied as a ready to use thixotropic paste which exhibits excellent early grab and rapid bond strength. After curing the product forms a cement with a permanent bond giving excellent adhesion in service. FR Adhesive can be used both as an adhesive and as a filler, with multiple usages where bonding or sealing very hot surfaces is required, or sustaining a seal or a bond within a fire situation without detachment.
Classification	Class name : Hierarchy level EPDNorge: Construction / Technical-chemical building materials products
General comment on data set	Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. The data represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on EPDs according to EN 15804 and different LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.

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.
