It includes the preparation of the precursor materials through to raw material extraction and processing, their transport to the factory and the production itself, including the provision of all supplies and materials, energy, and the complete waste treatment or the residual waste during the stage of production.
A comparison with other products is only allowed by a similar application in the building. In principle, a comparison or evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the datasets are created to be compared to EN 15804 and the product-specific features are considered.347IVPU e.V.

Polyurethane rigid foam (PU) is a closed-cell foam and factory-made thermal insulating material, which is used in the form of insulation boards with or without facings for insulating buildings, as well as for insulation of building equipment and industrial installations. The polyurethane insulating material (PU) product family comprises the product variants polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) - see /EN 13165/. PU insulating materials are produced as block foam and
insulation boards with flexible facings. This Product Declaration covers PU insulation boards with mineral fleece facings on both sides.
Production process: Polyurethane rigid foam insulation boards with flexible mineral fleece facings are produced in a continuous process on a double belt line. In this process, the polyurethane reaction mixture pours from a mixing
head onto the bottom mineral fleece facing, where it foams up and glues – still within the line’s pressure
area – with the top mineral fleece facing. After passing the double belt line, the foam boards are cut to the
desired dimensions.
Packaging: Primarily plastic foils are used for packaging.
Re- use: Dismantling polyurethane insulating materials as well as sorting and waste identifying can be done without
difficulties, since they are usually mounted mechanically or laid loosely. Clean and undamaged polyurethane insulation boards can be re-used, re-utilised from material recycling, or recycled as raw material (glycolysis). Glycolysis means
that at approx. 200°C, polyurethane rigid foam waste is transformed into a fluid substance called glycolysis
polyol, which can be used again as raw material in the production of polyurethane. When re-utilised from material recycling, polyurethane rigid foam waste is used to produce press boards. In this process, cutting and mounting leftovers, as well as construction waste, are mechanically shredded and subsequently pressed into board-shaped products
while adding binding agents. PU pressed adhesive boards are a high-quality material which are used to insulate window frames and thermal bridges et al.
Disposal: According to the Waste Disposal Regulation and the Regulation on the European List of Waste Materials
(/AVV/), polyurethane insulating material shall not be disposed of without prior treatment. The waste disposal code for construction waste is 170604. With thermal treatment, the energy content of the insulating material is recovered.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Thermal energy from propaneThermal energy from natural gasElectricity grid mixThermal energy from light fuel oil (LFO)Process steam from natural gas 95%Polyethylene Film (PE-LD) without additivesWooden pallets (EURO, 40% moisture)Polyurethane rigid foam (PUR) (EN15804 A1-A3)Expanded Polystyrene (PS 20) (EN15804 A1-A3)Municipal waste water treatment (mix)The scope of application of PU rigid foam insulation materials includes thermal insulation in building construction (e.g. pitched roofs, flat roofs, floors, ceilings and exterior walls (inside and outside)). Furthermore, PU rigid foam is used for insulating building equipment and industrial installations.Construction_Insulation Board.JPGConstruction_Insulation Board.JPGLCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system: When thermally treated in waste incineration plants (MVA), recycling as well as use potentials beyond the system boundary for power and thermal energy of module A5 and C4 are taken into account in module D in an input-specific manner considering elemental composition as well as calorific values. Due to manufacturing locations and distribution throughout all of Europe, the substitution processes refer to reference area EU-27.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.
