2.2 Application Siniat High Strength plasterboards covered by this EPD are used in all construction types (residential, non-residential, new or refurbished), ranging from complex high-tech systems to easy to install products, assuring in any case high level of mechanical performances. They can be used for partitions and the lining of walls, ceilings. They are suitable for any type of coating (wallpaper, paint, tiles). 2.3 Technical Data Detailed technical information is available in the specific product data sheets at www.siniat.it. The reference product LaDura Plus BA13 is compliant with type DEFH1IR of /EN520/ and is covered by /ETA 14/0221/. 2.5 Base materials / Ancillary materials Plasterboards covered by this EPD are made from: - gypsum natural and recycled gypsum: up to 94% - cardboard: up to 3% - additives (including starch, glass fibers and foaming agent, hydrophobic agent): less than 4% Plasterboards covered by this EPD do not contain any substance listed in the candidate list /(https://echa.europa.eu/it/candidate-list-table - date: 27.06.2018)/ exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass. Plasterboards covered by this EPD do not contain any other carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic (CMR) substances in categories 1A or 1B which are not on the candidate list, exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass. 2.6 Manufacture The manufacturing process is illustrated in the figure below. Performance data of the product in accordance with the declaration of performance with respect to its essential characteristics according to /ETA 14/0221/ of 18/07/2014, "Gypsum Plasterboard for load-bearing applications". Visit www.siniat.it for detailed technical documentation. 2.4 Delivery status The products covered by this EPD are delivered in variable dimensions, specified by their respective data sheets available at www.siniat.it. Usual dimensions are 1200 mm width and lengths > 2000 mm. The selling unit is a pallet composed of a defined number of boards as specified in the Catalog list. A preliminary stage consists in calcining the gypsum (natural gypsum + recycled gypsum) in a kiln to obtain the stucco, which is a calcium sulphate hemi hydrate. Plasterboards are then manufactured in a continuous automated production process by pouring from a mixer a slurry of stucco, water and additives, in-between two layers of a liner, composed of paper, 100% recycled. The continuous laminated board is calibrated into a forming plate and transported on a conveyor belt to the knife, while the setting of the slurry occurs and the mechanical bond forms at the gypsum-paper interface. After cutting, the boards are introduced in a multilayer drier to remove the excess of water and increase strength. At the drier out-feed the boards are trimmed to the nominal length, piled up on stacking units. The quality characteristics of the boards are controlled before storing pallets in the warehouse. The management system operated by the site is in compliance with the /UNI EN ISO 9001:2015/. 2.7 Environment and health during manufacturing Relating to health protection during the manufacturing process, the plant follows and respects the specific Italian Regulation. The manufacturing process is certified according to Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series /(OHSAS) 18001:2007/. Plasterboards are manufactured in a plant permitted by emission law and by external waste recovery in accordance with the Italian regulation. The management system operated by the site is in compliance with the standard /UNI EN ISO 14001:2015/. Production waste is internally recycled. 3 Environmental Product Declaration ETEX Building Performance SpA – SINIAT High Strength plasterboards
