Product description
The COOLWALL® with KYNAR® system is an infrared heat-reflective water-based exterior coating that incorporates industry-leading KYNAR Aquatec® technology. This highly breathable system has been formulated to have superior salt spray, moisture, mold, mildew, and dirt-resistant properties. Unlike conventional paints that rely only on mildewcides that leach out over time, COOLWALL® with KYNAR® combines mildewcides with the mildew-resistant properties that are inherent in the KYNAR® resin and will last the life of the coating. COOLWALL® with KYNAR® uses infrared heat-reflective properties to provide cooler surface temperatures, enhanced durability, and superior fade resistance. The high reflectivity can provide cooling cost energy savings of up to 21.9%*. COOLWALL® with KYNAR® is a low VOC, green building product. Available in satin finish.
Interpretation
Raw materials are sourced from suppliers, transported to manufacturing facilities, and mixed to produce products. The product stage (A1-A3) drives the environmental impact, due to raw material production and energy use. This impacts is amplified in the use phase due to recoatings, making B4 the largest contributor to the overall impact. Market and Technical service life scenarios differ depending on assumed estimated service life (ESL), with lower impacts for longer-lived products. Those scenarios are constructed using PCR prescriptions that are highly conservative, as they assumed the replacemnt of the full coating sytem. End-of-life impacts are relatively low, as products are assumed to be landfilled with building demolition waste. Switching to renewable energy is advised for products with high manufacturing energy demands. The manufacturer should explore lower-impact raw materials and work with suppliers using sustainable methods or renewable energy to enhance product sustainability.
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.
