Introduction
Evonik has released two Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its building protection products through the Institute for Construction and Environment (IBU). These documents provide a transparent view of the environmental impact of the products throughout their life cycle.
Product Details
The EPDs cover PROTECTOSIL® BHN and CIT, which are part of Evonik's Smart Effects business line. PROTECTOSIL® BHN is a silane-based water-repellent for mineral surfaces, while PROTECTOSIL® CIT offers corrosion protection for reinforced concrete structures.
Industry Context
The construction industry is increasingly demanding clear environmental data, and the European Construction Products Regulation will soon require EPDs for certain products. Evonik's publication of these EPDs is a proactive step in meeting these upcoming requirements.
Benefits and Applications
These EPDs go beyond conventional life cycle assessments, providing the transparency needed for building certifications and material choices. They offer extensive data to support building life cycle assessments, aiding planners, architects, and project managers in making informed construction decisions.
