Epoxy-Coated Prestressed Concrete Steel Strand

This EPD covers Epoxy-Coated PC Strand. Sumiden Wire manufactures ASTM A882 epoxy-coated PC strands in the same size range as uncoated PC strands, offering three different surface finishes depending on the required strand-to-concrete bond performance i.e., no grit, fine grit, and coarse grit. The epoxy-coated PC strand not only covers the outside of the strand but also all internal voids are completely filled. These are used in the production of post-tension slabs, prestressed girders, prestressed piling, segmental bridges, doubles tees, rock and soil anchors, hollow core slabs, stay cables, and a variety of other applications.

This EPD covers products under UN CPC Codes 42941 - Stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands, slings and the like, of iron or steel, not electrically insulated.

Disclaimers:

This EPD has been developed as part of a pilot project initiated by EPD North America on behalf of the North American market. Please reach out to EPD North America to find out more about this on this link: https://epdna.com/.

Not all requirements in the GPI are fulfilled, particularly the requirement, for construction products, to follow EN 15804 for certain aspects of the LCA method.

This EPD is based on a PCR that satisfies procurement rules at the federal, state, and municipal levels which call for EPDs based on the UL Part B PCR. The UL Part B PCR was used to meet regulatory (example: Buy Clean California Act, etc.) and market expectations (example: Building Transparency EC3 comparisons, LEED and existing vendor procurement requirements, product scoring programs, etc.). The EPD should not be used outside of this context.
