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 nameDynamon Easy 73
Product identificationDynamon Easy 73 complies to AS 1478.1 as type MWR, neutral set Mid-range water reducer admixture for concrete with extended slump retention.
Product descriptionDynamon Easy 73 is a liquid admixture for high quality concrete, specially formulated to make concrete with a low water/cement ratio and a good maintenance of workability.
Technical purpose of productDue to its special, innovative formulation, Dynamon Easy 73 is an efficient agent used to disperse cement particles, so that the amount of water required for mixing is considerably reduced. Compared with normal concrete without an admixture, Dynamon Easy 73 may be used to design concrete mixes with up to 10% less water, good workability time, and negligible loss in workability while being transported and uploaded on site. Dynamon Easy 73 is particularly suitable for the following: ▪ the production of high quality, ready-mixed concrete which can be transported for long distances, especially in summer. ▪ the production of low-medium strength grade concrete requiring either mid-range slump, lower water cement ratio, or both.
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 systemDynamon Easy 73 is a water solution with mortified acrylic polymers. The use of Dynamon Easy 73 must be contemplated when designing the mix, to use the plasticising capacity of the admixture to produce technically and economically high-performance concrete. The use of Dynamon Easy 73 is particularly advantageous when used in concrete where extended slump retention is required.
Scrap (recycled material) inputs contribution levelLess than 10% of the GWP-GHG results in modules A1-A3 come from scrap inputs

Data quality assessment

Description of data quality assessment and reference yearsPrimary 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. The relevant data assessed included no "poor” or “very poor” data.

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.
