Ownership and limitation on use of EPD

Limitations

EPDs within the same product category but published in different EPD programmes, may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same first-digit version number) or be based on fully aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.

Ownership

The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

Product information

Product nameTuboplus Hydraulic (PP-R)
Product identificationTuboplus Hydraulic (PP-R)
Product descriptionTuboplus is a hydraulic pipe designed for the efficient conduction of water - hot or cold - in residential, commercial and industrial installations. It is made of random polypropylene copolymer (PP-R), an advanced material that offers several advantages
Technical purpose of productTuboplus Hydraulic (PP-R) is a member of the Rotoplas family which has been conceived as an integral system, as it has a wide variety of pipes and connections to cover all the needs of a hydraulic installation.
Manufacturing or service provision descriptionThe raw materials used to produce Tuboplus Hydraulic (PP-R), such as PP-R resin, are rigorously tested. The PP-R resin used to produce Tuboplus is at least 90% virgin to ensure the highest product quality. The process begins with the transformation of raw materials, which incorporates all the PP beads to begin the extrusion process. At the same time, the white, blue, and green masterbatches are added. Once the pipe exits the high-temperature pipeline, it is cooled by spraying cold water, which is collected for reuse in the process. Once cooled, the pipe is transferred to cutting machinery, where it is cut into 4m sections and then packaged in plastic bags, then placed in heavy-duty bags and labeled for distribution

Description of the process flow diagram(s)

The raw materials used to produce Tuboplus Hydraulic (PP-R), such as PP-R resin, are rigorously tested. The PP-R resin used to produce Tuboplus is at least 90% virgin to ensure the highest product quality. The process begins with the transformation of raw materials, which incorporates all the PP pellets to begin the extrusion process. At the same time, the white, blue, and green masterbatches are added. Once the pipe exits the high-temperature extrusion line, it is cooled by spraying cold water, which is collected for reuse in the process. After cooling, the pipe is transferred to cutting machinery, where it is cut into 4m sections and then packaged in plastic bags, and then placed in heavy-duty bags then labeled for distribution. Before production begins, a resin sample is tested in the laboratory to ensure its structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish. This ensures that all materials used meet high quality standards before production begins.
