Product description
Stonclad UR is a four-component, trowel applied, polyurethane mortar system. Stonclad UR onsists of a urethane-urea binder, pigments, and graded quartz aggregates. Stonclad UR can be applied at thickness ranging from 3 mm to 6 mm depending on application requirements. Stonclad UR is a high impact resistant mortar which exhibits excellent abrasion, thermal shock, thermal cycling and chemical resistant characteristics making it ideal for the food and beverage industry as well as any other applications requiring these properties.
Interpretation
The manufacturing of the products in this analysis involves the direct procurement of raw materials from suppliers. These materials are then transported to manufacturing facilities in Europe where they are stored and mixed to produce the coatings. Notably, the product stage (stage 1) has the highest impact contribution, mainly attributed to the combined environmental impacts associated with raw material manufacturing and energy used in manufacturing.
For products with significant manufacturing energy impacts, the shift to renewable energy sources is recommended.
Given that the raw materials used in product manufacturing have a significant impact, exploration of opportunities to substitute these materials with alternatives that have a lower environmental impact. Additionally, consideration should be given to collaborating with suppliers who employ sustainable manufacturing techniques or integrate more renewable energy into their production processes. Such initiatives can lead to more environmentally friendly products and further enhance the sustainability of the products in this analysis.
LCIA results are relative expressions and do not predict impacts on category endpoints, the exceeding of thresholds, safety margins or risks. EPDs are comparable only when they follow the same PCR, functional unit and system boundary. The full EPD (PDF) contains the methodology, scenario assumptions and verification statement.
