fcf1ca74-343a-43a4-aac9-61f426eaa943 Acrolon EG-120 A low solvent containing 2-pack acrylic polyurethane topcoat.Scope and type: The type of this EPD is Cradle-to-Gate with options. 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 in Vaihingen, DE and the application market is for customers in Europe. Likewise, for the end-of-life, the fate of the paint product is described within a European context. The software LCA for Experts 10.9.0.31 is used to perform the LCA. In the model Ecoinvent 3.10 database was used. The validity of this EPD is in correspondence with the specifications of the LCA project report. All impacts associated with the upstream production of materials and energy are included in the system boundaries. Mining activities and controlled landfills are included in the product systems. The emissions and resource extractions derived from these processes are considered elementary exchanges between the product systems and the environment.Representativeness: This is a product specific EPD for Acrolon EG-120.Calculation rules: Cut off criteria Some cut-offs were applied in this study. During the manufacturing process, the input of consumables and the packaging waste from raw materials were excluded from the system boundaries due to a lack of data on the composition of this waste. A negligible amount of waste steel generated during manufacturing is also excluded. Furthermore, application tools such as brushes, cloths, and buckets are not included in the assessment, as they are considered capital goods. Reconditioned drums were not modelled as a separate input in the manufacturing process, as these are generally reused over several years. Therefore, the materials used for the drums are cut-off from, but all inputs required for reconditioning the drums in the manufacturing site are included. Additionally, energy consumed during application—for example, by spray applicators—has not been included due to its insignificance. No other cut-offs of outputs, raw materials, or other inputs were made at any life cycle stage. Data quality and data collection period Specific data was collected from Sherwin-Williams through a questionnaire, including inquiries about paint characteristics and packaging, production information and end-of-life. The data collection period for specific data was the year 2023. Data gaps (i.e. transport data, end of life scenarios) were covered with data generic values for transport as described in the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules - Decorative Paints document version 1.0 published by CEPE and reviewed in April 2018 and the Product Environmental Footprint method (European Comission, 2021). Generic data (i.e. upstream acquisition and production of raw materials, transport, waste treatment processes) was selected from Ecoinvent 3.10 database. In the case of missing data, a relevant proxy was searched and adjusted to the corresponding unit process. Allocation procedure To allocate the emissions and inputs to the manufactured products, the decision-hierarchy in ISO 14044 is used (ISO 2006). It is not possible to sub-divide the site data into a more detailed level or find physical causalities between inputs and outputs, thus allocation is done based on mass, considering the annual production of paint product for each site. The production of paint comprises only of the mixing ingredients. Therefore, the environmental impact is expected to be related to the mass of the products.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 the end-of waste state. A2. Transport of raw materials to manufacturer This includes the transport distance of the raw materials to the manufacturing facility via road. As no primary data was available for the transportation distances, the default values from the PEFCR for Decorative Paints were used.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: www.sherwin-williams.com/protectiveEMEA 0 2025 2030 valid from (Wednesday 22 October 2025) through (Tuesday 22 October 2030) gültig von (Mittwoch 22 Oktober 2025) bis (Dienstag 22 Oktober 2030) geldig van (woensdag 22 oktober 2025) tot (dinsdag 22 oktober 2030) 2025-10-22 Vaihingen, DE Acrolon™ EG-120 is a low solvent containing 2-pack acrylic polyurethane topcoat.
