8361ffb2-8f8a-477a-bdd4-14ea54974f91SMC ProductsSMC ProdukteKunststoffe02 Building productsConstruction adhesives and coatingsReaction resin productsSMC is a sheet molding compound whose resin component consists of unsaturated polyester. The pressed product is reinforced by the addition of glass fibers.The molding compound contains other components such as fillers and additives to optimize the technical properties of the molded part. During the molding process, the SMC compound hardens completely to form a thermoset material. Even when exposed to high temperatures, the molded part does not soften, but remains dimensionally stable until thermal decomposition.The EPD is representative for all products made from SMC of the MEA Group GmbH.Bei SMC, Sheet Molding Compound, handelt es sich um eine flächige Form-masse, deren Harzkomponente aus ungesättigtem Polyester besteht. Durch Zu-satz von Glasfasern wird das verpresste Produkt verstärkt. Die Formmasse enthält weitere Komponenten wie Füllstoffe und Additive zur Optimierung der technischen Eigenschaften des Formteiles. Während des Pressvorganges härtet die SMC-Masse vollständig zu einem Duroplastwerkstoff aus.0In the first department, the SMC semi-finished product in film form on rolls is created by fully automatically mixing the resin filler mixture (paste) with the glass fibers on a continuous production line. After a maturation period of around 4 days, the SMC material can be cut in the pressing department and further processed into finished components using hydraulic vertical presses (high pressure 80 bar and 140-160 °C). After a cycle of around 2-3 minutes in the mold, the pressed molded parts are polymerized and ready for rework (deburring, drilling). The manufactured SMC components are then packed on pallets.
Technical data:
Products made from SMC are not standardized except for drainage channels. These are manufactured in accordance with EN 1433. Regarding the required declaration of performance the following technical data is relevant:
Declared unit:
The declared unit is set as 1 kg of product made from SMC.Technische Daten:
Für das Inverkehrbringen des Produkts in der EU/EFTA (mit Ausnahme der Schweiz) gilt die Verordnung (EU) Nr. 305/2011(CPR).

System boundary:
The EPD system boundary takes into account the following life cycle phases: cradle to gate - with options.
Production stage (A1–A3)
Construction process stage (A4–A5)
End of life stage (C1–C4)
Benefits and loads beyond the system boundaries (D)
A1–A3
Module A1 includes all relevant processes that are necessary to provide the raw materials and intermediate products. Germany and other European countries are used as production locations for the intermediate products. Module A2 maps all relevant transport processes for raw materials and intermediate products to the production site. Trucks and a container ship are used. Module A3 describes the production of the declared product at the production site. Electricity and thermal energy from natural gas are used for manufacturing. The production of the packaging (wooden pallet, PET strapping, PE film) is also declared in A3.
Breakage and technical scrap are taken into account.
A4–A5
Module A4 describes the average transport of the product from the production site to the construction site. SMC products are sold throughout Europe (see Chapter 4, Transport from the gate to the site (A4)). Module A5 describes the installation of the product in the building. The declared products can usually be laid and installed by hand and without the use of large machines. No material and energy flows are necessary. In addition, the product is separated from the packaging which is then transported to the disposal point. The proportionate wooden pallet is burned, and the resulting ecological benefits are shown in Module D. The R1 value of the incinerator is less than 0.6. The PET strapping and the PE films are disposed of as plastic waste (see Chapter 4, "Assembly (A5)").
C1–C4
Module C1 covers the dismantling of the product. The dismantling is carried out using excavators. Module C2 maps the transport to waste treatment (Module C3). Module C3 maps waste treatment for reuse, recovery and/or recycling.
In particular, SMC products that are used in traffic areas (e.g. gutters) can be used as bulk substructure material in road construction. Products in buildings, such as light wells and door scraper boxes, are sent to the landfill (C4) together with other building rubble after the building has been demolished. The distribution of the products corresponds to 52% being sent to landfill and 48% being reused as bulk material (see Chapter 4, End of life (C1–C4)). In both cases the material is treated and shredded (C3). The material loss in this process is 3%.
D
Module D includes reuse, recovery and/or recycling potential. These are reported as net flows and benefits. This affects the the resulting ecological benefits from the thermal utilization of the wooden pallet an plastic packaging (see Chapter 4, "Reuse, recovery and recycling potential (D), relevant scenario information").Gültigkeitsbereich:
