Product information

Product name	Keraflex Quick (grey)
Product identification	Keraflex Quick (grey) is a grey, improved (2), fast (F), slip resistant (T) cementitious adhesive (C) with extended open time (E) classified as C2FTE by test certificate No. 4257/2025/CPR for the grey version issued by Main Laboratory Sassuolo (Italy).
Product description	High-performance quick-setting cementitious adhesive with no vertical slip, extended open time and long workability time, for ceramic and stone material.
Technical purpose of product	Exterior and interior wall and floor bonding of all ceramic tiles (porcelain, double-fired, single-fired, klinker,terracotta, etc.), stone and mosaic.
Manufacturing or service provision description	The production process starts from raw materials. that are purchased from external and intercompany suppliers and stored in the plant. Bulk raw materials are stored in specific silos and added automatically in the production mixer, according to the formula of the product. Other raw materials. supplied in bags, big bags or tanks, are stored in the warehouse and added automatically or manually in the mixer. The production is a discontinuous process, in which all the components are mechanically mixed in batches. The semi-finished product is then packaged, put on wooden pallets and stored in the finished products warehouse. The quality of final products is controlled before the sale.

Data quality assessment

Description of data quality assessment and reference years	Primary data collection concern the year 2024 and represent the whole annual production. The quality of the relevant data used for the EPD in terms of its time, geography and technology representativeness using EN15804:2012+A2:2019, Annex E, E2 is mostly “very good” and “good”. The relevant data assessed included “no poor” or “very poor” data.

Data quality assessment
Process name	Source type	Source	Reference year	Data category	Share of primary data, of GWP-GHG results for A1-A3
Manufacturing of the product	Collected data	EPD owner	2024	Primary data	1.7%

Raw materials	EPD, Database	Supplier, Sphera	2022-2024	Primary and Secondary data	18.2%
Total share of primary data, of GWP-GHG results for A1-A3					30.9%
The share of primary data is calculated based on GWP-GHG results. It is a simplified indicator for data quality that supports the use of more primary data to increase the representativeness of and comparability between EPDs. Note that the indicator does not capture all relevant aspects of data quality and is not comparable across product categories.

Additional environmental information

End of life / Recyclability

Our Multiply bags are recyclable up to 98.5% (ATICELCA class A+) according to UNI 11743. The finished products can be recycled at the end of life, after demolition, according to the national laws.

VOC Emissions

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) special tests and evidence have been carried out on the two products, according to ISO 16000 parts 3, 6, 9 and 11 and EN 16516. The product has been evaluated in emission chambers, in order to detect their VOC emissions after 3 and 28 days storage in the ventilated chambers, according to GEV (Gemeinschaft Emissionskontrollierte Verlegewerkstoffe, Klebstoffe und Bauprodukte e.V.) test method. The following product meets the requirements for the emission class EMICODE® EC1PLUS, as “very low emission”, released by GEV:

Keraflex Quick (grey): license number - 21206
