3 MasterRoc MP 650 PRODUCT AND MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER Master Builders Solutions is one of the leading suppliers of concrete admixtures and underground construction solutions worldwide. With over a century of experience in the construction industry, we leverage cutting-edge technologies, a global community of experts at the core of our business, as well as in-depth knowledge of local building needs to provide innovative and sustainable solutions. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION MasterRoc MP 650 is a fast-setting micro fine Portland cement for rock and soil injection. The product is a well graded cement milled from pure Portland cement clinker with a Blaine value of 650 m2/kg. Due to its small particle size, it penetrates tight joints, fissures, and pores very well to provide a water-tight grouted rock or soil mass. It achieves initial and final setting faster than standard micro fine cements. This increases the productivity in injection operations. The short open time of 1 to 1½ hours and a very short setting time of 2½ hours (at about 20°C) reduces the waiting time for the next excavation round to a minimum. Areas of application are pre-injection in underground structures, post injection, water ingress reduction, ground stabilization and contact injection.

Product stage Assembly stage Use stage End of life stage Beyond the system boundaries A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 C1 C2 C3 C4 D x x x MND MND MND MND MND MND MND MND MND MND MND Raw materials Transport Manufacturing Transport Assembly Use Maintenance Repair Replacement Refurbishment Operational energy use Operational water use Deconstr./demol. Transport Waste processing Disposal Reuse Recovery Recycling Modules not declared = MND. Modules not relevant = MNR. MANUFACTURING AND PACKAGING (A1-A3) The environmental impacts considered for the product stage cover the manufacturing of raw materials used in the production as well as packaging materials and other ancillary materials. Also, fuels used by machines, and handling of waste formed in the production processes at the manufacturing facilities (if any) are included in this stage. The study also considers the material losses occurring during the manufacturing processes as well as losses during electricity transmission. Limestone or chalk (high in calcium carbonate) and clay (containing silica, alumina, and iron oxides) are quarried near production sites. Crushed material is transported by conveyor for milling. Raw materials are stored in silos and proportioned for the raw mix. They are ground into a fine powder in a raw mill, using exhaust gases for drying, then sent to a blending silo for preheater feeding. The raw mix enters a preheater tower, reaching ~900°C via cyclone stages. A calciner at the tower’s base adds fuel to optimize kiln readiness. Heated to 1450°C in a rotary kiln, the raw mix forms clinker using fossil, waste-derived, and biomass fuels. The kiln flame reaches 2000°C. Air cools clinker from 1450°C to ~150°C, with recovered heat improving kiln efficiency. Clinker is stored or sent directly to milling. Clinker is ground with gypsum and additives (e.g., PFA, GGBS, limestone) in ball or vertical mills to produce various cement types with specific properties. Cement is stored in silos and transported in bulk by road or rail. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION (A4-A5) Transportation impacts occurred from final product delivery to the construction site (A4) and further installation stages (A5) are not modelled within this EPD. PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE (B1-B7) This EPD does not cover the use phase. Air, soil, and water impacts during the use phase have not been studied. PRODUCT END OF LIFE (C1-C4, D) The product end of life stages (C1 – C4) are not included in this EPD based on the EN 15804 standard special provision for construction products and materials which fulfil the conditions for exemption based on the product being integrated and not capable of separation from site of application at end of life, the product not being identifiable as original based on the physical change after deconstruction and the omission of any biogenic carbon in the product.

6 MasterRoc MP 650 LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT CUT-OFF CRITERIA The study does not exclude any modules or processes which are stated mandatory in the reference standard and the applied PCR. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. The study includes all major raw material and energy consumption (some minor additives used in small quantities have been cut-off, e.g. strength enhancer). All inputs and outputs of the unit processes, for which data is available for, are included in the calculation. There is no neglected unit process more than 1% of total mass or energy flows. The module specific total neglected input and output flows also do not exceed 5% of energy usage or mass. ALLOCATION, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Allocation is required if some material, energy, and waste data cannot be measured separately for the product under investigation. All allocations are done as per the reference standards and the applied PCR. In this study, allocation has been done in the following ways: Data type Allocation Raw materials No allocation Packaging materials Not applicable Ancillary materials No allocation Manufacturing energy and waste No allocation AVERAGES AND VARIABILITY VP- Type of average No averaging Averaging method Not applicable Variation in GWP-fossil for A1-A3 - This EPD is product and factory specific and does not contain average calculations. LCA SOFTWARE AND BIBLIOGRAPHY This EPD has been created using One Click LCA EPD Generator. The LCA and EPD have been prepared according to the reference standards and ISO 14040/14044. Ecoinvent 3.8 and One Click LCA databases were used as sources of environmental data.
