Glulam
Use advice for data set The scope of the EPD is cradle to gate, modules C1–C4 and module D.
Technical purpose of product or process Pinska Liimpuit OÜ produces homogeneous laminated glulam, combined laminated glulam, homogeneous finger-jointed laminated glulam, and combined finger-jointed laminated glulam. Glulam consists of two components: sawn wood and adhesive. The sawn wood is spruce and makes up 99% (by weight) of the glulam. Adhesives used by Pinska Liimpuit consist of mainly MUF (melamine urea formaldehyde) with small amounts of PUR (polyurethane). 99% of the wood used has FSC or PEFC certification. Glulam is used as load-bearing material in trusses, rafters, bridges, in building construtions etc. Glued laminated timber is produced in strength classes GL24, GL28, GL30 and GL32.

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.
