2.7 Manufacture

The described mineral products are produced using the wet-felt process. The initial materials are mixed with water to a homogenous suspension that is then pumped onto a belt conveyor (Fourdrinier). The water is removed both mechanically (gravity and vacuum) and by evaporation in a drying oven. The process water is reused as much as possible. It is treated and re-fed into the process water circuit. Production waste and dust are reused in the production process. Armstrong World Industries is /ISO 9001/ certified

2.8 Environment and health during manufacturing

Armstrong World Industries meet EU and Germany specific legal requirements for the production of mineral boards.

It is prohibited to produce and use bio-persistent fibres (Ordinance on Hazardous Substances, Annex iv, nr 22)

It is prohibited to bring bio-persistent fibres onto the market (Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance Nr. 23 of the Annex to §1)

Not subject to registration according to Article 7 or communication and notification according to Article 33 of the Regulation (EC) No

1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)

Dust and formaldehyde air concentrations in critical working areas are below the upper value of occupational exposure limits.Exempted from measuring crystalline silica in the air by the competent authorities, as historical values measured were lower than 1/10 of the limit.

Armstrong World Industries is /ISO 14001/ certified.

No direct contact of workers with clay (except sample taking), as the clay is stored in a silo from where it automatically goes to a mixing tank after which the slurry is pumped to a holding tank.

2.9 Product processing/Installation

There are safety measures to be noted in accordance with section 3 of the guideline “Handling mineral boards based on handling mineral wool (glass wool, rock wool) edition 2008: Work safety and environmental protection measures” are in accordance with the European guidelines for handling man-made mineral fibres. Refer to Armstrong’s Installation & Maintenance recommendations for guidance on safe handling and installation. www.armstrongceilings.com

2.10 Packaging

The products are packed in cardboard cartons and sealed with polyethylene film. These cartons are then stacked on chemically untreated wooden pallets which are then wrapped with polyethylene stretch film. Film, paper and wood can be recycled in the usual way.

2.11 Condition of use

When used properly, the mineral products maintain their mechanical and physical properties for their entire useful life.

2.12 Environment and health during use

When correctly installed no dust / particles will be released during the period of use. The limits for formaldehyde, VOC´s and TVOC´s are in compliance with /DIN 18177: 2012-11/

2.13 Reference service life

The useful life of the mineral products is up to 50 years depending on application, loading and level of maintenance. Influences on ageing when applied in accordance with the rules of technology.2.14 Extraordinary effects

Fire

development and no burning droplets in the case of fire. Fire protectionName ValueBuilding material class A2Burning droplets s1Smoke gas development d0

Water

Prolonged contact with water dissolves the binding starch which can lead to a loss of structure. Should the soluble components be carried into the sewage system they are biodegradable, increasing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)

Mechanical destruction

If not handled correctly the surface and edges may be broken or damaged.

2.15 Re-use phase

Correctly demounted tiles and planks can be reinstalled. Mineral tiles and planks can be returned to the production process for recycling into new mineral ceiling tiles when material separation and sufficient material quality is available. Refer to Armstrong’s recycling programme www.armstrongceilings.com

2.16 Disposal

The European Waste Code for site waste is designated as 17 09 04 and end-of-life and off-cut ceiling products can be returned to Armstrong for recycling.

Benefits and loads beyond the system boundary (module D)

3.3 Estimates and assumptions

There are no specific assumptions to list that are not dealt with in the appropriate section.

3.4 Cut-off criteria

All inputs to a unit process that contribute to more than 1% of the total mass or primary energy usage were included in the study.

It can be assumed that the total of neglected input flows per module contributed to less than 5% of energy usage and mass.

3.5 Background data

The primary data for the ceiling tile manufacturing process was provided for the Munster manufacturing facility for the year of 2014. The background data was taken from the GaBi 6 database software from Thinkstep.

3.6 Data quality

To model the life cycle of the production of mineral boards, data was used which was collected from the Munster, Germany manufacturing plant for the 2014 production year. All other relevant data was taken from the GaBi database software program.

5 Environmental Product Declaration Armstrong World Industries – Ultima +

3.7 Period under review

The data is representative of the manufacturing processes of 2014.

3.8 Allocation

No allocation was performed within the modeling of the unit processes for Ultima+ ceiling panels. Credits for electricity and heat gained from thermal recycling of waste and packaging in a solid waste incinerator and/or landfill were not taken in this study and as a conservative approach a value of zero was therefore d for the exported energy indicators EEE and EET.

3.9 ComparabilityBasically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared

were created according to /EN 15804/ and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account.

Gross density of products transported 268 kg/m3

Capacity utilisation volume factor 1 -

Installation Into the Building (A5)There is no energy or water use required for the ceiling tile installation. For suspended ceilings, a 7% waste factor was assumed on site during construction. This value is based on historic internal studies which have documented the quantity of scrap that are generated at the job site due to needed cuts (to allow for installation of sprinkler heads, for example) or mistakes. While this material can be and is recycled from some jobs, it is assumed that all of the on-site scrap material will be sent off site for disposal.

6. LCA: Interpretation

These results by phase demonstrate that the biggest overall impact occurs at the production phase of the ceiling tile manufacturing process. This phase takes into account modules A1-A3. Therefore it includes all burdens associated with all raw materials and the burdens associated with the actual ceiling manufacturing process. Within production, mineral wool has the largest associated burden of all raw materials with starch coming in a distant second. This is due to the large amount of energy required to create mineral fiber from waste slag or basalt. Mineral wool is also the largest contributor for all CML impact categories reported. The production burden at the Munster plant is the 2nd largest contributor to GWP, ADPE, and ADPF, particularly due to drying and perlite expansion.

POCP is a negative value because the transportation characterization factor for nitrogen monoxide is negative in CML v4.2 April 2013 which as a result POCP is negative for transportation in A2, A4 and C2.

The end of life stage can also have an impact from 0%- 25% dependent on the impact category. This is why Armstrong continues to make every attempt to take back ceiling tiles from construction projects and recycle them into our products. We also focus on minimizing the amount of waste during manufacturing and installation of the tiles.

FW in A5 is negative due to the formation of water, when installation waste decomposes in landfills.
