Pigments and additives are also used. They permanently and elastically seal joints arising on sites as well as complying with key functions. Ingress by liquids into the substrate and structure via the joints is prevented by joint sealants. The component's fitness for use and service life are decisively extended. 2.2 Application Module 1: Joint sealing systems for sealing in plants for storing, filling and handling certain substances hazardous to water Polysulfide-based construction sealants are used for elastic sealing of joints in plants for storing, filling and handling certain substances hazardous to water as well as inside buildings and outdoors. The joint sealant is used for sealing expansion joints enabling tension-free deformation of components and whose sealing functions mean they prevent damage. It may also be used under constantly changing levels of traffic. Module 2: Sealants for pedestrian areas Construction sealants are used for elastic sealing of expansion joints, including for areas exposed to shopping trolleys and warehouses, for example. 1 Environmental Product Declaration Deutsche Bauchemie Polysulfide-based construction sealants

4 2.4 Placing on the market / Application rules Module 1: Joint sealing systems for sealing in plants for storing, filling and handling certain substances hazardous to water (EU) Directive No. 305/2011 dated 9 March 2011 applies for placing on the market in the EU/EFTA. It is possible that a Declaration of Performance and CE marking is available for the products on the basis of a European Technical Evaluation which forms the basis for placing on the market. This is not necessarily a prerequisite for placing on the market. Use is governed by the respective national guidelines. Module 2: Sealants for pedestrian areas (EU) Directive No. 305/2011 dated 9 March 2011 applies for placing on the market in the EU/EFTA. The products require a Declaration of Performance taking consideration of /DIN EN :2012/ "Sealants for non-structural use in joints in buildings and pedestrian walkways Part 4: Sealants for pedestrian walkways" and CE-marking. Use is governed by the respective national guidelines. Module 3: Sealants for traffic areas (EU) Directive No. 305/2011 dated 9 March 2011 applies for placing on the market in the EU/EFTA. The products require a Declaration of Performance taking consideration of /EN :2004 "Joint fillers and sealants Part 2: Specifications for coldapplied sealants" and CE-marking. Use is governed by the respective national guidelines. 2.5 Delivery status Pasty in cartridges or combi-containers made of plastic or metal. Typical container sizes contain 400 ml to 10 litres of product. 2.6 Base materials / Ancillary materials Polysulfide-based construction sealants are manufactured in a multi-stage process. The cross-linking reaction occurs with an added hardening agent component in installed state. On average, the products covered by this EPD contain the following ranges of base materials and ancillary materials referred to: Base materials [Mass %] Polysulfide polymer Hardening agents 5-25 Fillers Pigments 5-10 Additives 0-3 These ranges are average values and the composition of products complying with the EPD can deviate from these concentration levels in individual cases. More detailed information is available in the respective manufacturer's documentation (e.g. product data sheets). In individual cases, it is possible that substances on the list of materials of particularly high concern for inclusion in /Annex XIV of the REACH regulation 2011/ are contained in concentrations exceeding 0.1%. If this is the case, this information can be found on the respective safety data sheet. 2.7 Manufacture Sealants based on polysulfides are generally manufactured in a multi-stage process and filled into supply containers. The quality of the products and safe handling thereof is ensured by the corresponding regulations such as /DIN EN ISO 9001:2008/, Industrial Safety Regulation, Immission Control Act etc. 2.8 Environment and health during manufacturing As a general rule, no particular environmental or health protection measures other than those specified by law are necessary. 2.9 Product processing / Installation Polysulfide-based construction sealants are usually processed manually or automatically on site using suitable tools. In the case of 2-component sealants, the basic components are first combined with a hardening agent. The products are applied to the prepared joints of finished components comprising various building materials. In most cases, this is done using cartridge guns or grouting machines, whereby health and safety measures (gloves and goggles, ventilation) are to be taken and consistently adhered to in accordance with the information on the safety data sheet and conditions on site Packaging Empty plastic or metal containers are recyclable. Wooden reusable pallets are taken back by the building material trade (reusable pallets remunerated in the German deposit system) which returns them to the building product manufacturer who in turn redirects them into the production process. A combination of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) cartridges, metal containers, cardboard and pallets is modelled for the LCA. The following EWC/AVV waste codes can apply: Plastic packaging Metal packaging 2.11 Condition of use During the use phase, polysulfide-based sealants are fully cross-linked and hardened. They are durable products which protect buildings and significantly contribute towards their appearance, function and sustainability Environment and health during use Option 1 Products for applications outside indoor areas with permanent stays by people During use, polysulfide-based construction sealants lose their reactive capacity and are inert. No risks are known for water, air and soil if the products are used as designated Option 2 Products for applications inside indoor areas with permanent stays by people When used inside indoor areas with permanent stays by people, evidence of the emission performance of construction products in contact with indoor air must be submitted. These can be in accordance with the following test schemes, for example: /AgBB VOC Scheme/, /EMICODE/ of the GEV (Gemeinschaft Emissionskontrollierte Ver- 3 Environmental Product Declaration Deutsche Bauchemie Polysulfide-based construction sealants

5 legewerkstoffe, Klebstoffe und Bauprodukte e.v., Düsseldorf), the Blue Angel (/RAL UZ 113:2011/) or emission classes in accordance with the French Directive /Décret n /. No further influences by emissions on the environment and health are known Reference Service Life Sealants fulfil key functions in buildings. They decisively improve the usability of building structures and significantly extend their original service lives. Information supplied by the manufacturer on maintenance and care must be observed Extraordinary effects Fire Even without any special fire safety features, joint sealants comply with at least the requirements of /DIN EN :2009/ for fire class E. In terms of volumes used, sealants generally have no or only a minor influence on the fire characteristics of the building in which they are applied. Water Polysulfide sealants are insoluble in water and resistant to chemical attack. Mechanical destruction The mechanical destruction of construction sealants does not lead to any decomposition products which are harmful for the environment or health 2.15 Re-use phase Re-use, recycling and energy recovery According to present knowledge, no environmentally-hazardous effects in terms of landfilling are to be generally anticipated through dismantling and recycling components to which construction sealants adhere Disposal Construction sealants which can not be recycled can be hardened. Empty containers are directed to the recycling process. Only a low volume of construction sealants is incurred in the disposal of components in which they are used. Low levels of adhesion do not play any role in terms of disposal. They do not impair disposal or recycling of the remaining components/substances. Hardened residual product mechanically removed from substrates must be disposed of as commercial/site waste. The following EWC/AVV waste codes can apply: Product residue: Adhesive and sealant compound waste containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances Adhesive and sealant compound waste with the exception of those covered by Further information More information is available on the manufacturer's product or safety data sheets and is available on the manufacturer's Web sites or on request. 3 LCA: Calculation rules 3.1 Declared unit This Association EPD is based on the declared unit of 1 kg polysulfide-based construction sealant with a density of kg/l for unfilled systems and kg/l for filled systems in accordance with the /PCR Part B/ for construction sealants. For singleor multiple-component products, the declared unit refers to 1 kg of the product mixture ready for processing. The product displaying the most environmental impacts is applied as a representative product for calculating the Life Cycle Assessment results. An indication of consumption per running metre depending on the joint width and depth also enables conversion of the declared unit into l/m which is also indicated. Description Value Unit Density (average) kg/l Declared unit 1 kg 3.2 System boundary Modules A1/A2/A3, A4, A5 and D are taken into consideration in the LCA: - A1-A3 Manufacture of preliminary products, transport to the plant and production process incl. energy supply, manufacturing of packaging as well as ancillary and consumable materials and waste treatment - A4 Transport to the building site - A5 Installation (disposal of packaging and emissions during installation) - D Credits from incineration and recycling of packaging materials The Declaration is therefore from the "cradle to plant gate" with installation. 3.3 Estimates and assumptions Where no specific GaBi processes are available, the individual recipe ingredients of formulae are estimated on the basis of information provided by the manufacturer or literary sources. No information is supplied by the manufacturer for polysulfide polymers which is why literary data is applied for estimates. 3.4 Cut-off criteria No cut-off criteria are applied for calculating the LCA. All raw materials submitted by the association for the formulae are taken into consideration. The manufacture of machinery, plants and other infrastructure required for production of the products under review is not taken into consideration in the LCA. 3.5 Background data Data from the /GaBi 6- data base/ is used as background data. 3.6 Data quality Representative products were applied for this model EPD and the product in a group displaying the highest environmental impact is applied for calculating Environmental Product Declaration Deutsche Bauchemie Polysulfide-based construction sealants 4

6 the LCA results. The data base was last revised in Period under review Representative formulations for construction sealants were compiled by Deutsche Bauchemie e.v. in The production data is based on primary data collation for the year Allocation No allocations are used for production. Production waste for disposal is however directed to a refuse incineration plant. After incineration, credits are established for electrical and thermal energy. A multiinput allocation with a credit for electricity and thermal energy is used for incineration of packaging in accordance with the simple credit method. The credits achieved through packaging disposal are offset in Module D. 3.9 Comparability As a general rule, a comparison or evaluation of EPD data is only possible when all of the data sets to be compared have been drawn up in accordance with EN and the building context and/or product-specific performance characteristics are taken into consideration. EPDs of construction products may not be comparable if they are not based on /EN 15804/. 4 LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information The following technical information forms the basis for the declared modules or can be used for developing specific scenarios in the context of a building evaluation if modules are not declared (MND).

8 6 LCA: Interpretation Non-renewable primary energy requirements (PENRT) are dominated by manufacturing of the preliminary products (> 85%). This is attributable to the fact that the product formulation is not particularly energy-intensive. The components accounting for the greatest mass percentage of the formulation (polysulfide polymers and curing agents) also contribute most to fossil primary energy requirements. During the manufacturing process, primary energy demand is particularly apparent during manufacturing of packaging. At approx. 6%, the share (of total primary energy) required by renewable primary energy (PERT) is relatively low. Among manufacturing of preliminary products, this is particularly attributable to the renewable percentage of the power mix, whereby the use of pallets has the greatest effect during the sealant production process. Solar energy is required for photosynthesis during wood growth which is therefore noted here as a renewable source of primary energy. At approx. 80%, the Global Warming Potential (GWP) is dominated by production of preliminary products, Accounting for a mass percentage share of 45%, the polysulfide polymer and hardening agent contribute more than 50% to the GWP. The second-largest influence (approx. 10%) is displayed by the hardening agent accounting for a mass percentage of approx. 15%. During production, which only accounts for 7% of the GWP, manufacturing of packaging has a particular impact. Incineration of packaging during installation of the product contributes approx. 9% to the GWP. In the case of the Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), it is apparent that the influences are almost exclusively necessitated by the preliminary products (approx. 93%) and production (approx. 4%) which in turn are primarily accounted for by halogenated organic emissions from the power mix used. Approx. 37% of the Acidification Potential (AP) is attributable to sulphur dioxide which is emitted during manufacture of the pigments in particular. Production accounts for 5% of the AP, whereby the greatest impact is attributable to packaging production. The nitric oxide emissions incurred during the transport processes are practically negligible. Approx. 80% of the Eutrification Potential (EP) is attributable to emissions into the air and approx. 13% is caused by emissions into water (incl. ammonium, nitrates and phosphorous). Nitric oxide emissions are responsible for approx. 75% of emissions into air. More than 80% of the EP is caused by manufacturing the preliminary products, whereby the main components (polysulfide polymer and hardening agent) as well as the filler materials and pigments account for a major share. Production accounts for approx. 9% of the EP which is attributable to the manufacture of packaging. The Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP) is also dominated by production of preliminary products (approx. 83%): This influence is particularly attributable to the polysulfide polymer and hardening agent (approx. 30% each). 7 Requisite evidence 7.1 VOC When sealants are used or installed in indoor areas with permanent stays by people, evidence of the emission performance must be submitted confirming that at least one of the following regulations or criteria is complied with: EMICODE classification for joint sealants based on dispersions or reactive resins Blue Angel for low-emission sealants for indoor use (/RAL UZ 113:2011/) Emission classes A+, A, B or C in accordance with the French Directive "Décret n " AgBB VOC concept with additional productrelated specifications on chamber loading, preparation of samples etc. 8 References Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.v.
