General comment
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. The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804.

Technical purpose
The insulation board is provided in several dimensions and thicknesses. Please use the conversion table below for other sizes than the declared unit. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a common material used for thermal insulation of buildings and constructions. As most of the material is air, EPS provides good insulating properties at a low weight. Other characteristics of the material include low moisture absorption, long service life and high compressive strength. This LCA is based on EPS Lattia and can be used for all products with the conversion factor which can be found under System boundaries Raw EPS materail expand up to 40 times when exposed to steam. The expanded polystyrene beads are then fed into a block molding machine, where steam and pressure form large blocks of EPS. During these processes, the final density of the product is determined. EPS density is the main contributor to the mechanical and thermal resistances of EPS. The average density of EPS Lattia is around 18,2 kg/m³.
