| General comment on data set | Fleetwood Acrylic Primer Undercoat is a high-quality acrylic resin-based combined primer and undercoat formulated for interior and exterior use on new or bare wood, plaster, hardboard, cement and brickwork.Scope and type: The type of this EPD is cradle-to-gate with options for a specific paint. All major steps from the extraction of natural resources to the final disposal of the product are included in the environmental performance of the manufacturing phase, except those that are not relevant to the environmental performance of the product. This declaration does not imply an indicator result of zero. This EPD is representative for products produced and sold in Ireland. The paint is produced in the Virginia, County Cavan manufacturing site in Ireland and the application market is also for customers within Ireland and the United Kingdom. Likewise, for the end-of-life, the fate of the paint product is described within an Irish and UK context. The software Sphera LCA for Experts v. 10.8 is used to perform the LCA. The background databases used are: a)Raw materials LCI database for the European coatings and printing ink industries b)Ecoinvent 3.10 (2024) The validity of this EPD is in correspondence with the specifications of the LCA project report.Representativeness: Not applicable as the EPD is specific for the product.Calculation rules: Data quality and collection period: All primary data was collected via a questionnaire in 2022 and completed by Fleetwood. This includes data on raw materials, transport, and the manufacturing site. Where primary data was not available, secondary data was used. Secondary data was taken from the PEFCR for decorative paints and EN15804+A2:2019 product category rules for construction products. Cut-off criteria and allocation procedures: Cut-off within the background processes is according to the respective methodologies (see documentation of the relevant processes (Wernet et al., 2016)). In the foreground data, some cut-offs were applied to the study. These were the packaging of raw materials due to limited data availability and the materials required for the application of paint as they are considered capital goods. These cut-offs were employed as they are in line with LCA methodology and not expected to significantly impact the results of the LCA study. During the manufacturing process, the input of consumables and disposed packaging from the raw materials is cut off from the system boundaries due to a lack of data on the composition of waste. Furthermore, brushes, clothes, buckets etc. used during the application process are excluded from the assessment since they are considered capital goods. The treatment and disposal of general manufacturing waste are included in the system boundaries.Scenarios and additional technical information A1. Raw materials supply This module considers the extraction and processing of all raw materials and energy which occur upstream to the manufacturing process, as well as waste processing up to end-of waste status. A2. Transport of raw materials to the manufacturer This includes the transport distance of the raw materials to the manufacturing facility via road. For a number of raw materials, supplier-specific data was used when available. For the remaining raw materials, the PEFCR for decorative paints is followed.Declaration of SVHC: None of the substances contained in the product are listed in the “Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for authorisation”, or they do not exceed the threshold with the European Chemicals Agency.More information: N/A |

| Technology description including background system | Product Description Fleetwood Acrylic Primer Undercoat is a high-quality acrylic resin-based combined primer and undercoat formulated for interior and exterior use on new or bare wood, plaster, hardboard, cement and brickwork. This product is specially formulated for the professional painter providing a combination of excellent coverage, adhesion and ease of use. It provides a low-odour, quick-drying, high-opacity alternative to solvent-based primer and undercoat. A great undercoat for use under acrylic trim finishes. Suitable for interior/exterior use on wood, plaster and masonry, waterborne combined primer and undercoat. Application method The application is done by brush, roller or conventional spray. Production process and conditions of delivery Paints are produced to pre-determined formulations that are specific to each individual product. Raw materials are pre-weighed according to the percentage of each in the formulation. Pigment and fillers are dispersed in a solvent and then transferred to another mixing vessel and combined with binder. The amount and type of dispersion is product specific and depends on the type of finish required. Subsequently, colourants are added (if required) to generate the colour desired. Finally, the paint is adjusted to the correct viscosity, filtered and filled into the appropriate packaging container. All paint containers are transported from the production sites to the paint storage warehouse and finally to our customers. Pack size The products are packed in packaging with the capacity of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 litres. |
