| Technical purpose of product or process | The Wafix PP system is made from the recyclable PP (Polypropylene), which gives both pipes and fittings good physical and chemical properties. The PP material used has a high E-module, which gives the pipes a good length stiffness and a large impact strength. That is why the Wafix PP system can withstand both large internal and external loads during assembly and installation - even at minus degrees. The covered diameters are described in the Technical Data section. A typical composition of the pipes covered by this EPD is as follows: Materials % PP 98,5% Additives 1,0% Rubber gasket 0,1% Packaging 0,4% The physical properties of the pipes covered in this EPD are: • Pipe material: Polypropylene (PP-B) • Density ~ 901 kg/m³ • E-Modul ~ 1.800 Mpa • Expansion linear ~ 0,15 mm/mK • Thermal Conductivity w / 20 °C: 0.24 W / mK • Operating temperature: 90°C • Short-term peak temperature: 100° C (< 30 ltr/min in 2 min.) The color of the pipe is either black (BK, RAL 9005), gray (GY, RAL 7037), white (WT, RAL 9003) or brown (BR, RAL 8012). |

| General comment on data set | For module A1, specific data for product compositions as provided by the manufacturer are used. For module A2, transportation data of the raw materials used to the production site was collected. For module A3, energy consumption and waste production data was collected for production year 2020. The used background processes are derived from Ecoinvent 3.6. Allocation was carried out in accordance with the provisions of the EN15804. All manufacturing inputs (energy and auxiliary materials) at production site level are allocated to different production processes, followed by allocation of the production processes to the products that are produced using these processes through mass allocation. No secondary materials have been used in the production process. All relevant inputs and outputs - like emissions, energy and materials - have been taken into account in this LCA. In accordance with EN15804, the total neglected input flows per module does not exceed 5% of energy usage and mass. |

| Technology description including background system | The declared unit of this EPD is 1 kg Wafix PP Pipe. The results per kg are based on the product ‘Wafix PP Pipe BR 110 SN8 L=6’ (‘base product’). The number 110 in the product name refers to the diameter, which is equal to 110 mm. It follows that the pipe diameters can be derived from the product names by taking the number after the color abbreviations. The table below provides the products covered with this EPD. The selected base product is representative for all products described in this table; deviations of the LCA results of the other products compared to the base product are not more than 10%. The list below provides the mass per 1 meter pipe (including packaging). These masses should be used to calculate the LCA results per 1 meter pipe, by multiplying the results presented on page 8-11 with the weight specified below. |
