AnovaŽ 1005 Modifier

AnovaŽ 1005 is a modifier for the asphalt industry. Scope and type: Ecochain is used as LCA software. Ecoinvent v3.6 and Nationale Milieudatabase 3.3 are used for this analysis. The study covers phases A1-A3 from materials used to the production.

Calculation rules: Data quality: In this study the data flows have been modelled as realistic as possible within the practical feasibility of the LCA practitioner. The data quality is based on the principle that the primary data used for processes, occurring at the production site, must be of higher quality than background data of other processes. The processes used in the production of AnovaŽ 1005 are geographically representative, meaning that the production location of AnovaŽ 1005 lies within the region for which the relevant Ecoinvent environmental records have been selected. All environmental impacts and economic flows Œ from sources such as resources, energy, emissions and waste Œ were quantified and qualified in environmental effects. There is no presumption that relevant inputs or outputs have been omitted. Methodology and reproducibility: The process descriptions and quantities in this study are entirely quantitatively reproducible in accordance to the reference standards that have been used. The references of all sources, both primary and public sources and literature, have been documented in the LCA report. Scenarios and additional technical information The AnovaŽ products are manufactured through a combination of vegetable oil formulation and chemical modification to modify the chemical compatibilities and functionality for enhanced solubility and performance in bituminous products. Declaration of SVHC: None of the substances contained in the product are listed in the fiCandidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for authorisationfl, or they do not exceed the threshold with the European Chemicals Agency.

The AnovaŽ 1005 rheology modifier is typically used to modify the bitumen grade and rheology of bitumen such as penetration or Performance Grade. It can be used in paving grade bitumen, polymer-modified bitumen PMB, and both anionic and cationic asphalt emulsions COMPONENT > 1% [kg / %] Confidential Confidential * > 1% of total mass
