COLAS Bitumen Emulsions - Polymer 80% Surface Dressing
Use advice for data set This LCA covers the Product stage (A1 - A3) and Construction Process (A4 - A5).
Technical purpose of product or process This EPD is for Polymer 80%, Cationic 70%, Cationic 65% surface dressing bitumen emulsions. They are manufactured at the COLAS Bitumen Emulsion production facility at Deerpark Industrial Estate, Oranmore, Co.Galway, Ireland. The main components of the bitumen emulsion are: bitumen, water, emulsifier, solvent, acid and additives. The surface dressing bitumen emulsions are sprayed on road surfaces prior to the application of a single size aggregate or chippings. The surface dressing emulsion binds the aggregate to the road surface. The bitumen emulsions are a mixture of two liquids: (a) Bitumen phase: comprising bitumen and additives (b) Solvent. The bitumen raw material delivered to the production site is stored in a heated bitumen storage tank at high temperature prior to mixing. After a milling process using a colloidal mill, the cutback bitumen is stored on site in heated at tanks, at approximately 80 °C, before dispatch to site.
General comment on data set The dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2022. The data Quality Level, according to Table E.1 of EN 15804 +A2, Annex E, is as follows: • Time Representativeness is considered to be very good • Geographical Representativeness is considered to be very good • Technical Representativeness is considered to be very good Allocation of electricity and diesel and amounts thereof to the various manufacturing processes has been provided by COLAS. Allocation of impacts to the products is based on product mass. The cut-off criteria of section 6.3.6 of EN15804 +A2 have been followed.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
