3 MasterFlow 9650 Created with One Click LCA PRODUCT AND MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER The Master Builders Solutions brand brings all of our expertise together to create chemical solutions for new construction, maintenance, repair and renovation of structures. Master Builders Solutions is built on the experience gained from more than a century in the construction industry. The know-how and experience of a global community of construction experts form the core of Master Builders Solutions. We combine the right elements from our portfolio to solve your specific construction challenges. We collaborate across areas of expertise and regions and draw on the experience gained from countless construction projects worldwide. We leverage global technologies, as well as our in-depth knowledge of local building needs, to develop innovations that help make you more successful and drive sustainable construction. The comprehensive portfolio under the Master Builders Solutions brand encompasses concrete admixtures, cement additives, solutions for underground construction, waterproofing solutions, sealants, concrete repair & protection solutions, performance grouts, performance flooring and solutions for on- and offshore wind energy. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION MasterFlow 9650 is a shrinkage compensated high-strength grout which when mixed with water, produces a homogeneous, flowable and pumpable grout for the offshore wind industry. It is especially formulated for foundations which are anchored to the seabed in boreholes. Due to its rapid hardening, the material is also ideally suited for grouting work in very short weather windows. MasterFlow 9650 is used in large scale, pump applications. - For use as high strength grout in offshore foundations like monopiles using bolted connections - For rock socket structural grouting in offshore applications - Grouting of structural and non-structural parts of offshore wind turbine installations, e.g., as skirt backfill - Grouting under very harsh conditions, e.g., at temperatures as low as 0°C Further information can be found at https://www.master-builders-solutions.com.

4 MasterFlow 9650 Created with One Click LCA PRODUCT LIFE-CYCLE SYSTEM BOUNDARY This EPD covers the life-cycle modules listed in the following table. 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 x MND MND MND MND MND MND MND MNR MNR MNR x x 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 are included in this stage. The study also considers the material losses occurring during the manufacturing processes as well as losses during electricity transmission. MasterFlow 9650 is a rapid hardening, high strength grout powder for offshore foundations. The product is packed and transported by different bulk container types. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION (A4-A5) Transportation impacts occurred from final products delivery to construction site (A4) cover fuel direct exhaust emissions, environmental impacts of fuel production, as well as related infrastructure emissions. Transportation impacts occurred from final products delivery to the offshore site (A4) are not considered. 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 end-of-life modules (C1-C3) are omitted from the EPD as the MasterFlow 9650 is permanently placed into the ocean floor and becomes an integral part of the earth crust. Therefore, the placing of the product is simultaneously the final deposition and modelled as landfill in (C4). The benefits and loads beyond the system boundary (D) are included.

6 MasterFlow 9650 Created with One Click LCA 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. 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. No cut-off criteria were applied in the study since all raw materials in the product were taken into consideration. All input/output data reported by the Master Builders Solutions manufacturing facility were included in the LCI modelling. None of the reported flow data were excluded based on the cut-off criteria. All major raw materials and essential energy flows are included. The 1 % cut-off rule does not apply for hazardous materials and substances: as such, all flows with environmental significance are included. All solid waste emissions, including those that weigh less than 1 % of the sum of the masses of the inputs, are reported in the end-results. ALLOCATION, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Allocation is required if some material, energy, and waste data cannot be measured separately for the product under investigation. In this study, as per the reference standard, allocation is conducted in the following order; 1. Allocation should be avoided. 2. Allocation should be based on physical properties (e.g., mass, volume) when the difference in revenue is small. 3. Allocation should be based on economic values. The production of MasterFlow 9650 does not require any co-products. No allocation was required. The data quality is considered high based on collection directly from the manufacturer and well below the cut-off rule. Additional background processes such as transportation and electricity consumption have been modelled using the Ecoinvent v.3.6 LCI database. Allocation used in environmental data sources is aligned with the above. AVERAGES AND VARIABILITY This EPD is for a specific product MasterFlow 9650 where no average data for the production of the product was collected or utilized. 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 and One Click LCA databases were used as sources of environmental data.
