| Use advice for data set | Type of EPD: Cradle to gate with options, modules A4-5, C1-C4, and D. Module A1: Extraction and processing of mortar raw materials. Module A2: Transportation of raw materials to the mortar plant. Module A3: Mortar production at the plant and waste treatment. Module A4: Transportation to the construction site. Module A5: Includes processes associated with installation of the mortar, as well as the production, transportation, and treatment of unused mortar. Module C1: Demolition/Dismantling. Module C2: Transportation of demolition waste for processing. Module C3: Recycling of mortar waste as part of its carrier material. No separation of the mortar waste from the carrier material is possible. Concrete is used as the carrier material. Module C4: Final disposal of mortar waste in sanitary landfill together with carrier material. No separation of the mortar waste from the carrier material is possible. Concrete is used as the carrier material. Module D: Credits and burdens for the use of production waste in A3 or packaging waste in A5 as a secondary fuel or thermal/electrical energy generation. Credits and burdens from the use of mortar waste as a replacement for primary materials (aggregates), as part of its carrier material (concrete).. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Tarmac's M6 General Purpose Masonry Mortar is ideal for structural masonry work where enhanced strength and durability are required. It provides robust bonding for dense concrete blocks, engineering bricks, and other high-load-bearing units. Its superior compressive strength makes it suitable for boundary and retaining walls, foundations, and multi-storey construction. In addition to securing masonry units, M6 General Purpose Masonry Mortar offers excellent resistance to weathering and moisture ingress, contributing to the long-term performance, improving durability and freeze / thaw resistance of both internal and external structures. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
