Use advice for data set | This LCA covers the Product (A1 - A3), Construction Process (A4 - A5), end of Life (C1 - C4), and benefits and loads beyond the system boundary (D). |
Technical purpose of product or process | The acrylic paints are made from a mixture of resins, pigments, specialist admixtures (for characteristics such as viscosity, flow, drying, texture, etc.) and water. Acrylic washable matt is ideal for interior walls and ceilings. It is based on a full acrylic resin which imparts enhanced durability. The finished matt painted surface can be washed easily to remove normal household stains. Acrylic soft sheen is ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. It has a mid-sheen finish that is hard wearing and washable on all interior wall surfaces. It is assumed these paints are packaged in 10 litre capacity polypropylene buckets. The manufacturing process for the paints is a series of staged mixing process. The first mix is carried out until full dispersant is achieved. This is followed by adding additional ingredients which are further mixed until all ingredients are fully dispersed. Some further additional and final mixing stages are usually carried out, where additional ingredients are added to optimise rheology and viscosity. Once the paints have achieved their desired properties, they are filled into containers for sale. Waste materials such as plastic, cardboard and metals are recycled, municipal solid wastes are sent to landfill, and solvents/rags/plastic cans sent for incineration. |
General comment on data set | The dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2021, in the country of production, Republic of Ireland. The data Quality Level, according to Table E.1 of EN 15804 +A2, Annex E, is as follows: • Geographical representativeness: Good. • Technical representativeness: Fair to Good. • Time representativeness: Very Good. The measurement of environmental impacts in this EPD are those recommended for EF 3.0 and implemented in the EN 15804 Reference Package. The process descriptions and input quantities detailed and used in this study are a true representation of the actual processes and quantities used in the manufacturing and use of the products. The references of all sources, both primary and public sources and literature, have been documented in the LCA report. The ‘polluter pays’ and ‘modularity’ principles have been followed. In addition, to facilitate the reproducibility of this LCA, a full set of data records has been generated which can be accessed via the LCA tool. This data portfolio contains a summary of all the data used in this LCA. Allocations of impacts to products have been made on a mass basis. The cut-off criteria of section 6.3.6 of EN15804:2012+A2:2019 have been followed, where 99% of the total energy and materials are included, and the total neglected input flows for the modules reported on in the LCA are less than 5% of the energy usage and mass. |
