Horst J.

The System is composed of three components. The first component is the JetSpray Primer used to pre-treat concrete surfaces. The Primer is applied using a paint gun. The second component the JetSpray Thermal blowing wool is available in the form of loose-fill flocks, having a wooly consistency, compressed and packaged in bags. In terms of composition, blowing wool consists of about ≥ 99% inert material. The inert part is made of recycled glass (external cullet, up to 80% of the composition), sand and limestone. The remaining fraction is made of antistatic and anti-dust compounds. The additive content is typically about 0.5 % in weight.The third component the JetSpray Fix organic binder is mixed with water to provide a strong adhesion. It then dries naturally.After the treatment with JetSpray Primer, the surfaces are sprayed with a dedicated blowing machine with a mixture of JetSpray Thermal mineral blowing wool and JetSpray Fix organic binder to complete the insulation process. The target installed density of the complete JetSpray System is 52 kg/m³.For the placing on the market of construction products in the European Union and EFTA (with the exception of Switzerland) /Regulation (EU) No 305/2011/ applies. ApplicationMain applications for the JetSpray System are insulation of ceilings of car parks and crawl spaces under buildings. For the application and use national regulations apply. Technical DataThe JetSpray System and its technical characteristics meet a number of technical requirements. The most important ones are summarized in the table here below, which also includes references to testing methods.

Raw materials used in the production of JetSpray Thermal Blowing Wool are sand, limestone, soda ash and a high level of recycled glass (up to 80%). The JetSpray Primer and JetSpray Fix binder are made of organic component. Reference service lifeThe RSL or durability of JetSpray System is as long as the lifetime of the building in which it is used. LCA: Calculation rulesDeclared UnitThe declared unit is 1 m³ of JetSpray System. The density used for the calculation of the LCA is 52 kg/m³.Declared unitNameValueUnitDeclared unit1m3Gross density52kg/m3Conversion factor to 1 kg0.0192-System boundaryThe system boundary of the EPD follows the modular approach defined by /EN 15804/. The type of EPD is cradle to gate - with options. List and explanation of the modules declared in the EPD.The product stage (A1-A3) includes:- A1 - raw material extraction and processing, processing of secondary material input (e.g. recycling processes),- A2 - transport to the manufacturer and- A3 - manufacturing.This includes provision of all materials, products and energy, packaging processing and their transport, as well as waste processing up to the end-of waste stage or disposal of final residues during the product stage.The LCA results are given in an aggregated form for the product stage, meaning that the modules A1, A2 and A3 are considered as a unique module A1-A3. The construction process stage includes:- A4 - transport to the construction site and- A5 - installation into the building.The transport to the building site (A4) is included in the LCA calculation. For JetSpray System, the average transport distance is assumed to be 600 km with a truck capacity utilization of 70%. Module A5 has been included into this EPD as the blowing and spraying equipments request electricity to blow and spray the components. The treatment of the packaging waste after the installation of the product has also been considered. The product losses during the construction process have been taken into account into the LCA and represents maximum 2%.The use stage.Because they are specific for the building, its use and location, none of the modules related to the building fabric (B1-B5) nor the operation of the building (B6 and B7) have been taken into account in this EPD. The end-of-life stage includes:- C1 - de-construction, demolition, - C2 - transport to waste processing,- C3 - waste processing for reuse, recovery and/or recycling and- C4 - disposal.This includes provision of all transports, materials, products and related energy and water use, but only modules C2 and C4 are reported, as they are considered the most relevant scenarios for glass mineral wool products. Although mineral wool products from Knauf Insulation are partly recycled at end-of-life, there is not yet an established collection system and as such the assumption chosen in this study,100% landfilled after the use phase, is the most conservative approach. Module D includes re-use, recovery and/or recycling potentials.According to /EN 15804/, any declared benefits and loads from net flows leaving the product system not allocated as co-products and having passed the end-of waste state shall be included in module D. Benefits from packaging's incineration with energy recovery are considered in module D. ComparabilityBasically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared were created according to /EN 15804/ and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account.

The renewable energy is dominated by the packaging (wood pallets) and the production (electricity mix). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Mostly all impacts categories are dominated by the fabrication of the blowing wool in itself at plant level. This is due to the consumption of energy (electricity and thermal energy) during the production of blowing wool. The Fix product, the Binder product and the installation stage have relatively lower impacts.The Abiotic Depletion Potential elements (ADPe) are dominated by the raw material consumption for the blowing wool.The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is highly impacted by the blowing wool fabrication stage, mostly due to energy consumption (gas and electricity). The raw materials and transport to site have a limited impact. GWP is reduced by the use of a high percentage of glass cullet (about 80%). On construction site, the installation is requesting energy for spraying and blowing equipment and consecutively represents about 10% of GWP.The Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) is influenced by raw materials, production and packaging. This is mostly influenced by the consumption of electricity (about 90% of the impact).
6Environmental Product Declaration Knauf Insulation – Jetspray SystemThe Acidification Potential (AP) is also dominated by the production of the blowing wool due to the emissions related to the processes of the glass furnace and the energy consumption. Mostly, the impact refers to emissions to air: sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The Euthrophication Potential (EP) is significantly influenced by the blowing wool production due to emissions from the furnace and electricity consumption. The Potential Ozone Photochemical Oxidants (POCP) is particularly dominated by the blowing wool production (electricity consumption and to lower extent raw materials). The results from the transport are negative due to the NO emissions; NO counteracts the POCP.
