General comment The dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2019. The data Quality Level, according to Table E.1 of EN 15804 +A2, Annex E, is 'very good' Allocation of electricity types and amounts to the various manufacturing processes has been provided by Chemoran Ltd along with production waste. Allocation of impacts to the products is based on the product composition mass. Flows related to human activities such as employee transport are excluded. The construction of capital assets such as buildings, manufacture of machines and transportation systems are also excluded since the related flows are assumed to be negligible compared to the manufacture of the building material when compared to these systems over a full lifetime of operation. 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.

Technical purpose CDML is a bitumen additive that is used to improve the cohesion build-up of cold micro-surfacing asphalt made with paraffinic bitumen. It can also be used for rapid setting emulsions to increase their viscosity and speed-up the cohesion build-up of the emulsion for surface dressing applications. It is produced and supplied, by Chemoran, in liquid form. It is usually supplied to customers in returnable/re-useable intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). CDML is maunfactured by the reacting and blending of a variety of bio-based and organic chemicals. There are two processes in the manufacturing of the additives. The first process is Reacting, where organic oils are reacted with amines at temperature in sealed containers. Ancillary devices such as pumps, motors, PLCs, etc., are powered by electricity. The second process is Blending, where the reacted products are further blended with other reaction products or raw materials purchased from external manufacturers.
