CPM-P Mixing Grade Emulsifer

The dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2019. The data Quality Level, according to Table E.1 of EN 15804 +A2, Annex E, is 'very good'. Allocation of electricity types and amounts to the various manufacturing processes has been provided by Chemoran Ltd along with production waste. Allocation of impacts to the products is based on the product composition mass. Flows related to human activities such as employee transport are excluded. The construction of capital assets such as buildings, manufacture of machines and transportation systems are also excluded since the related flows are assumed to be negligible compared to the manufacture of the building material when compared to these systems over a full lifetime of operation. The cut-off criteria of section 6.3.6 of EN15804:2012+A2:2019 have been followed, where 99% of the total energy and materials are included, and the total neglected input flows for the modules reported on in the LCA are less than 5% of the energy usage and mass.

These products are a mix of fatty imidazoline derivatives and amidoamines designed for bitumen emulsions used in the manufacture of mixing grade bitumen emulsions for cold mixes, grave emulsion and microsurfacing with either paraffinic or naphthenic bitumen. They are produced and supplied, by Chemoran, in liquid form. They are usually supplied to customers in returnable/re-useable intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). The mixing grade emulsifiers are maunfactured by the reacting and blending of a variety of bio-based and organic chemicals. There are two processes in the manufacturing of the admixtures. The first process is Reacting, where organic oils are reacted with amines at temperature in sealed containers. Ancillary devices such as pumps, motors, PLCs, etc., are powered by electricity. The second process is Blending, where the reacted products are further blended with other reaction products or raw materials purchased from external manufacturers.
