Product description
The EZ Stab All-Aluminum Cleanroom Systems is ideal for non-ferrous applications, and high-humidity environments. The EZ Stab All-Aluminum Cleanroom System also provides a clean, particulate free, sealed ceiling system for controlled-environment rooms.
The popular 15/16" grid face, featuring redesigned EZ Stab Clip & Patented Latitude Holes™, provides quick and easy installation.
The patented Latitude Holes equal more frequent and higher hanger holes spaced every 3" to provide installation flexibility while the EZ Stab Clip allows for lower insertion force and increased removability.
The suspension systems utilize a double web design coupled with two rows of continuous stitching to create maximum strength and torsional rigidity.
All of the features combine to provide a superior product that enables design flexibility and is easy to install, saving the contractor time and money.
Interpretation
Based on the life cycle assessment results, the impacts for the 15/16” EZ Stab All-Aluminum Cleanroom System are primarily driven by raw materials. The body aluminum accounts for approximately 80% of the raw material stage impacts. Additionally, the transportation of the gasket added to the Cleanroom System has a significant effect on overall results. Currently, the gasket is added at the Vaughn, ON location. To reduce transportation impacts, it is recommended to explore closer alternatives or consider adding the gasket at the Bradenton location.
The LCA study ensures high data quality through completeness, consistency, and sensitivity checks. Completeness is achieved by modeling all relevant processes within clearly defined system boundaries, with no identified data gaps. Consistency is maintained by using primary data collected directly from manufacturing facilities and applying standardized secondary datasets from critically reviewed, widely accepted databases; proxies were used only when necessary. Sensitivity is addressed by documenting any deviations from initial data quality requirements and considering the higher uncertainty of secondary data during interpretation. Overall, primary data is highly precise, while secondary data is representative of regional and technological contexts, ensuring reliable and reproducible results.
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.
