| 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. A1: Wooden pallets and the wrapping around the pallets are excluded on the basis that the product is shipped in boxes. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Protecta FR Putty is an easy-to-apply fire and sound-rated sealant supplied as a non-setting putty. The putty is hand-workable, re-useable and re-serviceable due to its non-setting properties. The putty is manufactured and supplied in different shapes and forms for different applications. Putty Pads for sockets When electrical sockets and switches are installed in dry-lining partitions, the original fire rating of the partition is compromised. Fitting Putty Pads will reinstate the fire rating of the partition for up to two hours (depending on the partition fire rating) preventing the passage of smoke and flames in a fire, and sound and air movement during service life, through the electrical socket, into the cavity. Putty Cords for fire sealing services The putty cord is designed to be easily fitted around service penetrations where the gap around the services is very small, or there are no gaps at all so a conventional fire-rated sealant is impossible or difficult to fit due to the required depth and backing material. The putty cords are fitted to cover the gap around the services and do not need to fill the gap to the required depth. Putty Pads for water supply boxes When tap water wall boxes are installed in dry-lining partitions, the original fire rating of the partition is compromised. Fitting Putty Pads will reinstate the fire rating of the partition preventing the passage of smoke and flames in a fire, and sound and air movement during service life, through the tap water wall boxes, into the cavity. |

| 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. |
