TitanBac® Plus Broadloom Carpet

J+J Flooring’s collection of TitanBac® Plus broadloom carpets work beautifully, whether specified alone or with one of our many broadloom options. The two fiber options for TitanBac® Plus backing are Nylon 6 and PET. This EPD includes results for Encore® SD Ultima® Nylon—25% post-industrial recycled nylon, Encore®100 Nylon—100% post-industrial recycled nylon, and TeraPlex® SD polyester fiber. TitanBac® Plus has a nylon 6 (or PET) face fiber attached to a latex and polypropylene backing. A representative product within the TitanBac® Plus family was chosen. The composition within the TitanBac® Plus family of products does not differ other than pigments and dyes used to give each style of broadloom carpet its own distinct appearance. The variation in terms of pigments and dyes used is less than 5% of the total product weight and is excluded from the study. This EPD covers all styles and colors under the TitanBac® Plus product family.

Disclaimers:

This EPD has been developed as part of a pilot project initiated by EPD North America on behalf of the North American market. Please reach out to EPD North America to find out more about this on this link: https://epdna.com/.

Not all requirements in the GPI are fulfilled, particularly the requirement, for construction products, to follow EN 15804 for certain aspects of the LCA method.

This EPD is based on a PCR that satisfies procurement rules at the federal, state, and municipal levels which call for EPDs based on the UL Part B PCR. The UL Part B PCR was used to meet regulatory (example: Buy Clean California Act, etc.) and market expectations (example: Building Transparency EC3 comparisons, LEED and existing vendor procurement requirements, product scoring programs, etc.). The EPD should not be used outside of this context.
