| 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 Service Coat FR-1 is an acrylic based intumescent coating designed to increase the fire resistance of fire seals and protect cables, cable trays and metal pipes. The coating protects the cables outer plastic or rubber sheath, and thereby protects the conductors to secure continued electrical supply in a fire situation. The product also protects and lowers temperatures in metal services passing through a fire seal, thereby increasing the overall fire resistance. The coating is non-toxic, durable and can be applied in a thin coat, saving both time and money. It is a hardwearing coat, formulated to the highest specification and offering unsurpassed intensity of colour. The coating can be tinted; all colours are water-based and provide a smooth, rich and non-reflective finish. Protecta Service Coat FR-1 normally requires no primer and no top coat. The product also has the added benefit of being easy to use and very easy to clean up. |

| 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. |
