Product description
Ultra-Tread MVT is a low odor, slurry applied, high performance moisture control base layer designed to reduce moisture vapor emissions prior to the application of non-breathing, polymer floor topping finishes. Ultra-Tread MVT is a selfpriming base coat that can be applied to 10 day old concrete. It can withstand moisture vapor transmission up to 20 lbs (per ASTM F 1869) and relative humidity up to 99% (per ASTM F 2170). Note: Series N241 must be broadcast to refusal with aggregate, color quartz, or decorative flake within 15 to 20 minutes of application. Color quartz and/or decorative flake systems will require an additional broadcast layer using non-pigmented Series N222, N222FC, N224, 256, 257, or 286 to obtain a uniform appearance and texture before applying the desired clear finish coats. This will typically result in a total system thickness of approximately 1/8".
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.
