Name
PU block foam
Use advice for data set Scope: This Environmental Product Declaration applies to polyurethane insulation boards made of block foam as manufactured by the IVPU members Paul Brauder GmbH & Co. KG and puren GmbH.These IVPU members represent the majority of companies within the German polyurethane block foam market. This EPD is based on weighted averages which have been determined on the basis of the single values originating from the factories of the mentioned manufacturing companies (see section 3.1). System boundary: Type of EPD: cradle to gate - with options The life-cycle assessment considers the following modules of the life cycle: · production and provision of raw materials (A1) · transporting raw materials (A2) · production including packaging (A3) · transport to construction site (A4) · installation in buildings (recycling or thermal treatment of cutting leftovers and packaging waste) (A5) · transport to End of Life (C2) · waste treatment: energy for shredders (C3) · thermal treatment in waste incineration plants (MVA) - (C4) · use potential beyond the system's boundary due to energy substitution in the MVA (D).
Technical purpose of product or process The scope of application of PU rigid foam insulation materials comprises thermal insulation in building construction (e.g. pitched roofs, flat roofs, floors, ceilings and exterior walls (inside and outside)). Furthermore, PU rigid foam is used for insulating building equipment and industrial installations.

General comment on data set Polyurethane rigid foam (PU) is a closed-cell foam and factory-made thermal insulating material, which is used in the form of insulation boards in building construction, as well as for insulation of building equipment and industrial installations. The polyurethane insulating material (PU) product family comprises the product variants polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) - see /EN 13165/.PU insulating materials are produced as block foam and insulation boards with flexible facings. This Product Declaration covers PU insulation boards without facings made of block foam. This EPD is based on weighted averages which have been determined on the basis of the single values originating from the factories of the aforementioned manufacturing companies (see section 3.1).

Technology description including background system Polyurethane rigid foam insulation boards made of block foam are produced on block units. In this manufacturing process, the polyurethane reaction mixture pours from a mixing head onto a paper base and foams up to a height of approx. 90 cm. After the cooling phase, the rigid foam blocks are cut to boards with the desired dimensions. Quality assurance The declared products as per /DIN EN 13165/ bear the quality mark of the “Überwachungsgemeinschaft Polyurethan-Hartschaum”. Quality assurance is based on surveillance and certification by independent Notified Bodies. Technical data: For determining technical data, testing methods as stated in /DIN 13165/ and /DIN EN 14308/ are used. Declared unit: The declared unit is 1 m² of installed PU thermal insulation board made of block foam and has the following specifications:
