Construction Products Regulation, GWP and EPD
The construction industry faces the task of building durable structures with a verifiable carbon balance. Under the EU Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110, the global warming potential (GWP) is gradually becoming part of the declaration of performance for construction products. From 2028 for large new buildings and from 2030 for all new buildings, the whole life-cycle GWP must also be disclosed (EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2024/1275). The basis for this is the environmental product declaration (EPD) according to EN 15804.
For your EPD, we provide the data for our raw materials: the bio-based carbon content and, on request, the product carbon footprint (PCF). The bio-based carbon content is 77 to 94 % for our polyols, 34 to 75 % for our epoxy hardeners and 95 % for the diluent Mergisol. From waterborne to 100 % systems, we offer epoxy hardeners and polyols for coatings, mortars and fillers in residential, commercial and infrastructure construction.
