Product description
Desco HT/OP 469 is a 100% solids, pigmented two component aliphatic polyurethane topcoat with a gloss orange peel finish. Desco HT/OP 469 is designed to provide high gloss, UV stability (non-yellowing), good chemical, stain and mar resistant protection. Desco HT/OP 469 is essentially odorless and free of the health and environmental problems normally found in solvent-based urethanes. In addition, it’s easy to clean and has excellent color retention. Desco HT/OP 469 is a high-performance coating for use in a variety of Desco resinous seamless flooring systems.
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. These impacts are 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 assume the replacement of the full coating system. 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.
