Ownership and limitation on use of EPD

Limitations

EPDs within the same product category but published in different EPD programmes, may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same first-digit version number) or be based on fully aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.

Ownership

The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

Product information

Product nameColdpav 1
Product identificationFibre-reinforced hydraulic binder for stabilised soil paving
Product descriptionMapei Coldpav 1 is a fibre-reinforced powder binder based on hydraulic components for the treatment of soils and aggregates used for creating decorative stabilised soil paving or foundations for roads subjected to heavy loads when in service.
Product information from external sourcesFor more information see the TDS (Technical Data Sheet) on Mapei SpA website (www.mapei.com).
Technical purpose of productStabilisation of on-site soil or filling for the realisation of natural architectural surfaces. Stabilisation of sub-foundations and road foundations. Mapei Coldpav 1 binder is used for the realisation of cold regenerated bituminous conglomerate layers in association with Mapei Coldpav 2.
Manufacturing or service provision descriptionThe 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.

Technology description including background systemThe Mapei Coldpav technology was developed at MAPEI Research & Development laboratories, specifically for the construction of foundations and road bases. The special formulation of Mapei Coldpav 1 makes it suitable both in the presence of heterogeneous soils, recycled aggregates or aggregates of first use and R.A.P. Mapei Coldpav 1 contains mineral additions with specially selected pozzolanic activity (not coming from the use of cement) that have also binding properties (> 22% by weight); this increases the durability of the final layer as well as the resistance to run-off in the case of stabilised material.
Scrap (recycled material) inputs contribution levelLess than 10% of the GWP-GHG results in modules A1-A3 come from scrap inputs

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.
