Module by module, up to the total
Seventeen EN 15804 modules, always in the same order. Each declared one moves the running total. D sits below zero after the total, because it is reported beside it.

About this factor
From EPD Italy
What it is
1 kg of foaming agent. 1 kilogram of keratin hydrolysate-based liquid foaming agent, same use and functions as above. Overall quality: Very Good. Weighted DQR: FOAMCEM 2.08, FOAMCEM-H 2.02, FOMITH 2.03, FOMITH-G 2.06. Generic datasets: Ecoinvent 3.11 (cut-off allocation), SimaPro 10.2. No "poor" or "very poor" datasets. No "fair" dataset contributes >30% to any core indicator. Mass-based allocation applied exclusively to electricity consumption in A3 (excluding FOMITH-G, directly attributed). All other flows directly attributed based on product-specific primary data. No cut-off rules applied. All flows considered relevant. LCI data cover =95% of total mass and energy flows.What it includes
"• Foaming agent dosage: 1–2% by mass of lightweight cellular concrete. • Density of cellular concrete: 300–500 kg/m³. • Foaming agent density: FOAMCEM 1.13 kg/L; FOAMCEM-H, FOMITH, FOMITH-G: 1.01 kg/L. • Typical applications: screeds, roofs and terrace slopes, fillings, road sub-base."Where it applies
The FOAMCEM product family (FOAMCEM, FOAMCEM-H, FOMITH and FOMITH-G) consists of liquid foaming agents obtained through controlled mixing of water with organic and inorganic raw materials, including protein derivatives, surfactants, resins and mineral salts. Designed for the production of lightweight cementitious and gypsum-based materials. Applications: cellular concrete, foamed concrete, lightweight cementitious systems, gypsum-based prefabricated products. Intended for professional and industrial use (B2B). "• FOAMCEM: water 51%, protein-based raw materials 24%, additives 18%, solvent 2%, packaging (IBC) 5%. Produced via controlled alkaline hydrolysis (80–100°C). • FOAMCEM-H: water 65%, surfactant 22%, keratin hydrolysate 7%, packaging (IBC) 6%. Produced by mechanical blending. • FOMITH: water 65%, surfactant 22%, keratin hydrolysate 7%, packaging (IBC) 6%. Produced by mechanical blending. • FOMITH-G: water 69%, surfactant 21%, functional additives 4%, packaging (IBC) 6%. Produced by manual mixing."Source and licence
