Carbon fibergrid
Use advice for data set This EPD covers the following modules: Cradle-to-gate with modules C1–C4 and module D (A1–A3 + C + D). The scenarios included are currently in use and are representative for one of the most likely scenario alternatives.
Technical purpose of product or process The declaration has been conducted for Carbon fibergrid product manufactured in Hungary. The current business of Tolnatext Bt. is mainly the manufacturing of a variety of technical glass fibre textiles. The machine pool, consisting of various machinery, makes it possible to manufacture textiles of several weave types, width, reel length, to apply special logos and to produce textiles with many other parameters. Tolnatext Bt. possesses state-of-the-art weaving and knitting machines therefore Tolnatext Bt. can also satisfy any unique requirements its partners might have. The glass-grid fabrics are widely used in the construction industry whether building facades or for reinforcing asphalt roads and concrete. The roving fabrics are primarily used for manufacturing composite materials; while the fabrics combined with special copper fibre or carbon fibre form the raw material for advanced heating panels or heating foils. The Carbon fibergrid product is not dangerous. The basic and auxiliary materials used in the production of the product do not contain chemicals that are on the REACH list, the list of very hazardous substances (SVHC). The final product is not expected to produce significant adverse health effects when the recommended instruction for use is followed.
General comment on data set The data quality assessment performed during the analysis was based on the Data quality level and criteria of the UN Environment Global Guidance on LCA database development. The data quality information has been provided according to the requirements of EN 15941. ISO 14044 was applied in terms of data collection and quality requirements. The data concerning the modules A1 (raw material supply), A2 (transportation) and A3 (product manufacturing) were provided by Tolnatext Bt. and involved all input and output materials to the plant, the consumed utilities (energy, water) and the distances and means of transport for each input stream. Data reliability is considered good for energy consumption, material inputs, material outputs, waste management and very good for transportation. Proxy had to be applied for two processes (Carbon yarn and module C1 deconstruction) This LCA report is based on site-specific data from the manufacturer and is representative for the production for 2024 January – 2024 December (12-month period). The manufacturing location is in Tolna, Hungary. However, since the components are delivered by external suppliers, their production processes are modelled using data from the Ecoinvent 3.10 database. In case of Glass yarn the characterization factor used is of poor quality in means of temporal representativeness. In case of Chemicals the characterization factor chosen are of very poor quality in means of temporal representativeness. However, these datasets are highly relevant in terms of technological representativeness to the materials. A1 raw material supply, A2 transportation, A3 manufacturing. All used materials, energy, packaging, and transportation until the end-of-waste state have been included. The information from transportation A4 is included in the LCA-calculation, but is excluded from the present EPD, because the A4 module’s GWP (global warming potential) is below 20% of the GWP of modules A1–A3. Information from B-module has not been calculated nor included in the LCA-calculations. Modules C1 – C4 have been included. Module D is also included.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
