Each kilogram counts as 3.46 kg CO₂e: 3.25 up to the factory gate, 0.045 for transport to site and 0.164 for construction waste (A5.1).

Gases
Boverket publishes this factor as CO₂e only, with no split by gas. The CO₂e leaves biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon out; methane from biogenic sources is counted.
From Boverket's record to a comparable factor
Boverket publishes the three parts; open-climate.ai added them up to this total. Here is each field as printed and what open-climate.ai made of it.
The total and its parts
Each part has its own page, with its own years and source record. Never add a part to the total.
About this factor
From Boverket
What it is
The generic values are assumed to be representative for all European countries and information gathered from a number of producers on this market. The GWP-GHG of sealants in terms of kg CO₂e/kg paint depends essentially on the type of components used.What it includes
The production is done by mixing of the sealants ingredients which are then packaged.Where it applies
A joint is the cavity between two different surfaces and sealants are the material used to fill in and seal these cavities. The ingredients of the sealants are binder, pigment, solvent, and additives.
This generic dataset serves as a proxy for types of sealant where a manufacturer-specific EPD cannot be found. As proxy data, an acrylic-urethane sealant designed for both indoor and outdoor use is applied. There are various manufacturers of sealant on the market, but they largely use the same suppliers of ingredients in the mixing process.Source and licence
