| Technical purpose of product or process | BML is a weather-resistant (use category X), ablative fire protection coating available in three viscosities: paint, solid emulsion and filler. The product is suitable for fire-resistant coating of penetration sealing systems, cables and cable systems. For more information use our website: https://flamro.com/at-ch/brandschutzbeschichtungen/bml BML is an ideal choice for applications requiring a thin dry film coating. When exposed to fire, it undergoes a significant endothermic reaction, forming a protective, microporous carbon layer. This material is engineered for use in various passive fire protection applications within structural and industrial settings. It is particularly effective for protective cable coatings, sealing cable and pipe penetrations, and large-surface bonding on critical substrates. BML is suitable for both indoor use and installation in sheltered outdoor areas. Within the EU and EFTA, the product falls under the scope of Directive (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR) for market placement. Compliance with this directive requires a Declaration of Performance in accordance with the relevant European Technical Assessments (ETAs), including ETA-24/0671 for the systems along with the appropriate CE marking. The manufacture of BML is optimized for efficiency and continuous improvement, certified to ISO 9001. Preliminary products undergo incoming inspection before use. Each batch is subject to internal quality control to ensure compliance with paint and fire protection standards, supplemented by regular external monitoring. Raw materials are stored securely to prevent environmental release. Worker safety is prioritized with minimal direct contact with raw materials, protective clothing, dust masks, and adequate extraction systems. Waste is sorted, stored, and returned to the recycling process wherever possible. BML is a medium-viscosity coating available in 310 ml cartridges and plastic containers ranging from 5 to 25 kg. The following waste codes should be taken into account: 08 01 19* – aqueous suspensions containing paint or varnish with organic solvents or other hazardous substances. For additional information, please refer to the product's Safety Data Sheet. 100% of the known ingredients of the product have been considered in the environmental footprint calculation. |

| 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. |
