Name
BAUMIT BAUMACOL BASIC
Technical purpose of product or process BAUMIT Baumacol Basicis a a factory-made, cement-based adhesive mortar of class C1. It is used for laying different types of tiles (ceramic, clinker, earthenware, mosaic, etc.) using thin-bed method. It is suitable for laying ceramic tiles, slabs, mosaic, earthenware, split tiles and clinker slabs, for use on mineral-based substrates like concrete, cement-based plasters and tile adhesive, lightweight and aerated concretes, gypsum masonry panels/blocks, and for the bonding of building and insulation panels. It is convenient for indoor and outdoor use in all types of premises such as living rooms, bathrooms, commercial wet rooms and swimming pools. It is not suitable for substrates subjected to thermal stress. Baumacol Basic consists of Portland cement, limestone crushed stone and an additive. The product covers the requirements of the European standard EN 12004. Baumacol Basic is packed as a dry mix in bags with unit mass 25 kg.
General comment on data set The information on the production process of the tile adhesive is collected from BAUMIT Bulgaria EOOD. Information on the transport and composition of components is provided by BAUMIT Bulgaria EOOD. Information on the production process of additives is accounted as presented in ecoinvent v.3.6 database. The factory of BAUMIT Bulgaria EOOD in Elin Pelin produces various construction products for external and internal finishing layers of buildings. The manufacturing processes for all tile adhesives are equivalent with slight variance in terms of working regime of drying and mixing stations. Even though, allocation is done regarding energy and fuel use, and generated waste. Environmental impacts, resource use and waste generation are calculated based on yearly data about the inputs/outputs and the yearly production of tile adhesives for 2018. As per EN 15804, in the case that there is not enough information, the process energy and materials representing less than 1% of the energy and mass used per module can be excluded (if they do not cause significant impacts). The addition of all the inputs and outputs excluded is less than 5% of the whole mass and energy used, as well of the emissions to environment occurred. Flows related to human activities such as employee transport are excluded. In accordance with EN 15804 the construction of plants, production of machines and transportation systems are excluded. Environmental burden of the administrative building is partly considered. Collected data covers all components used for the manufacturing of the tile adhesive mixes, electricity consumption and fuels use. The total sum of omitted processes is close to 0% of the whole mass of inputs and outputs.
