Product description
Dural 452 Gel is a two-component, 100% solids, DOT non-corrosive, moisture insensitive, high strength epoxy adhesive and binder for numerous applications. This high modulus structural gel is perfect for bonding applications that require a non-sag adhesive.
Interpretation
The largest contributing module of Dural 452 Gel is B2 (Maintenance) with contribution totaling 70%. The B2, B3, and B4 module impacts are based on PCR default scenarios, from NSF PCR for Resinous Floor Coatings, and are not intended to represent product-specific maintenance behavior. The B2 module is the largest impact for some products considering the required cleaning materials per m2 of product based on the lower density.
The impact from module B4 is due to the fact that replacements are needed to satisfy the 60-year requirement for the functional unit. This replacement effectively multiplies the impacts from other modules. Of the modules included in B4, A1 Raw Materials Extraction and Processing, B2 Maintenance, and C4 Disposal stages represents the largest contributor to impacts.
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.
