Product information

Product name	Mapebond VM Lite
Product identification	Classification C2TES1P1
Product description	Mapebond VM Lite is a nonsag mortar designed for the installation of manufactured stone veneer, thin brick and natural stone in exterior and interior applications.
Product information from external sources	For more information see the TDS (Technical Data Sheet) on Mapei corp. website (www.mapei.com/us).
Technical purpose of product	Exterior and interior residential and commercial installations on walls and columns.
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.

Total share of primary data, of GWP-GHG results for A1-A3					12.43%
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.
