Construction Installation
All surfaces must be sound, clean, suitably dry, and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied.
Apply all products in accordance with BS 6150: Code of practice for painting of buildings and BS 8000: Part 12: Code of practice for decorative wall coverings and painting. Stir well before use. Apply by brush or medium roller.
Use Information
Module not declared.
End of Life Coatings are typically disposed of with the substrate they are painted on. Dried paint film is not currently recycled, the coating itself is unlikely to be separated from the substrate during disposal and they are treated together as construction waste. Most construction waste is first sent to recovery where it is sorted, the remainder is sent directly to landfill. Sorted waste is assumed to be sent to landfill rather than to incineration, because dry paint film is integrated with a mineral substrate (no energy content).
Life Cycle Assessment Calculation Rules
Declared unit description The Declared Unit (DU) is one square metre (m 2 ) coverage of substrate with one coat of paint. This is equivalent to 95.8 grams of Crown Trade Clean Extreme Mould Inhibiting Scrubbable Matt Emulsion. The results are weighted averages of all shades and sizes of paint analysed. System boundary The system boundaries of the product LCA follow the modular design defined by EN15804. This cradle-to- gate with options study includes the Product stage (A1 – A3), Transport stage (A4), Installation stage (A5), Dismantling (C1), End-of-life transport (C2), Waste Treatment (C3), Disposal (C4), and Benefits/loads beyond system boundary (D).
