Product
Product description: This EPD is representative of Crown Trade Acrylic Gloss.
Crown Trade Acrylic Gloss is a quick drying durable gloss for use on interior wood and suitably primed metal. The formulation has excellent flow and levelling properties and stays whiter for longer. Whilst this product has been formulated for interior use it can also be used on exterior surfaces. It is used for suitably prepared wood and metal surfaces.

Declared unit: 1 kg Crown Trade Acrylic Gloss Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. The data represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on EPDs according to EN 15804 and different LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below.

System boundary: This EPD covers the following life cycle stages: A1–A3 (Product stage): Upstream processes for raw material extraction, processing, and transport to the manufacturing facility, A4 (Transport to site): Transportation of the product to the customer, C1–C4 (End-of-Life stage) & D (Benefits and loads beyond the system boundary): Product and packaging disposal, including collection, sorting, and final treatment, and potential benefits or loads.

LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information The following information describe the scenarios in the different modules of the EPD. This EPD is based on a conservative approach utilizing worst-case scenarios to ensure representativeness across all production sites. Specifically: - Raw material transportation distances to manufacturing facilities reflect the maximum typical distances - Manufacturing process data are derived from the company's production sites and represent the highest consumptions The declared product variant represents the shade with the highest Global Warming Potential (GWP) value, ensuring the EPD covers all product shades conservatively.
The following assumptions have been applied in the life cycle assessment: - A4 (Transport to site): An average distance of 300 km to the site is assumed.
- C1 (De-construction demolition): No significant deconstruction or demolition processes are assumed. - C2 (Transport to waste treatment facility): An average distance of 50 km to the site is assumed. - C3 (Waste processing): The coating is not expected to undergo recycling, material recovery, or energy recovery through incineration. - C4 (Disposal): The coating is assumed to be disposed of via landfilling as the primary end-of-life scenario. - D (Benefits and loads beyond the system boundary): As the coating material proceeds to landfilling without recovery of materials or energy, no downstream benefits are applicable.

PM = Particulate Matter emissions; IRP = Ionizing radiation – human health; ETP-fw = Eco toxicity – freshwater; HTP-c = Human toxicity – cancer effects; HTP-nc = Human toxicity – non cancer effects; SQP = Potential Soil Quality Index (dimensionless) "Reading example: 9.0 E-03 = 9.0*10-3 = 0.009" 1. The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experienced with the indicator 2. This 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.

GWP-IOBC: Global warming potential calculated according to the principle of instantaneous oxidation. In order to increase the transparency of biogenic carbon contribution to climate impact, the indicator GWP-IOBC is required as it declares climate impacts calculated according to the principle of instantaneous oxidation. GWP-IOBC is also referred to as GWP-GHG in context to Swedish public procurement legislation.
