| Use advice for data set | The life cycle analysis is a cradle-to-gate (A1 - A3) study, with options A4 and A5 for transport to the market and installation, respectively. It includes the extraction and production of raw materials and packaging, transportation to the manufacturing site, the production process itself, transport to the construction site, and waste management during product installation. A4: Transport from the factory in England to Sweden is included. Additionally, 300 km of transport from our warehouse to the construction site is accounted for, in accordance with the PCR. A5: Manual installation is considered, without the use of electricity. A 3% material waste during installation is included. Emissions of VOCs during installation are also accounted for. All packaging is sent to average waste management. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through joints and openings in fire rated walls and floors (including openings formed around building service penetrations); GRAFT® FR Acrylic will also maintain acoustic design performance. When subjected to atmospheric conditions, the sealant cures however, it will retain a degree of elasticity for joint movement. Under fire exposure, FR Acrylic creates a robust fire seal by the formation of a durable intumescent char. FR Acrylic can be used with a suitable filling material i.e. stone wool or GRAFT® backing material in order to secure correct width to depth ratio, and to reduce the shrinking of the sealant during curing. Minimum depth and maximum width of the joints are included in the installation instructions. Thermal activation takes place at approx. 180°C when the material will expand (intumesce) and prevent the passage of fire and smoke for periods up to and beyond 4 hours. |

| 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. |
