| Technical purpose of product or process | Product variation and calculation of averages The insulation board is provided in several dimensions and thicknesses. Please use the conversion table for other sizes than the declared unit. Product description Thermodren is a board which is for insulation and drainage outside on the cellar wall. The horisontal and vertical holes in the board makes sure that the water from the outside get into the holes and down into the drainage pipes. The holes also make sure that the cellar wall keeps dry. The board can also be delivered with a non voven textile to prevent small particles to clog up the holes. Thermodrän can also be used for on blue/green roofs and terrace. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a common material used for thermal insulation of buildings, including floors, walls and ceilings. It is a polymer foam, consisting of air-filled polystyrene cells. EPS is manufactured through permeating polystyrene beads with pentane, allowing the beads to expand when exposed to steam. This addition of a so-called blowing agent adds 4% - 6% w/w. The expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads are then fed into a block molding machine, where steam and pressure forms large blocks of EPS. The amount of EPS going into the mold determines the densitiy of the block, where pressure class 70 provides a density at 70 kN/m2, which is approximately 17,5 kg/m3. After molding, the remaining blowing agent, pentane, is aired out. Weight per declared unit is 0,70 kg given a density of 17,5 kg/cubic meter with a thickness of 40 mm. |

| 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+A2. 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. |
