LAMINATE POLYURETHANE-MINERAL (PUM) UNDERLAYS
Technical purpose of product or process This environmental declaration type III covers products from the polyurethane-mineral (PUM) underlays group. The products are made of polyurethane foam with a mineral filling and laminated with PET. The underlay for floor panels is an important element of the new floor, which significantly affects its durability, improves the acoustic comfort by high level of noise reduction. Products (figure 1) are intended to be used for rooms with high traffic intensity and provide heavy load resistance. The products are manufactured in three basic thicknesses from 1.1 to 3.0 mm. The basic products are 1,1mm, 1,5mm, 2,0mm and 3,0mm. All products have a set of tests in accordance with the EN 16354 standard. All specific product technical data is available at manufacturer website. The products may be available under the Decora brands.
General comment on data set The values determined to calculate A1-A3 originate from verified process LCI inventory data form production plant. A1 values for inputs were prepared considering input products characteristics based on Eco invent data. The energy consumption of production and its impact on the production lines were separately inventoried and calculated. In accordance with Annex E of the EN 15804 + A2, a data quality assessment was performed with a quality level of " good". Assumptions and estimates According to the data adopted from the Ecoinvent 3.8 database, the post-consumer scrap is not burdened with the environmental impacts. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB PCR A. The EPD is representative for all PUM underlay products (production impacts are allocated the same way, mass based). Allocation covers 100% of production, where production of PUM products is 25%. In collaborative processes (all products), e.g. energy consumption for a production hall or offices, impacts were allocated on the basis of total mass allocation. Minimum 99.0% input materials and 100% energy consumption (electricity, gas) were inventoried in manufacturing plant and were included in the calculation. In the assessment, all significant parameters from gathered production data are considered, i.e. all material used per formulation, utilized thermal energy, and electric power consumption, direct production waste and available emission measurements. Tires consumption for transport was not taken into account. Limited number of substances with a percentage share of less than 0.1% of total mass might be excluded from the calculations. It is assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 1% of all impact categories. Wooden packaging products are excluded in the analysis (considered as closed loop products). In accordance with EN 15804 machines and facilities required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees.
