Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is polymer foaming. The Reference Product is polymer foaming. This is delivering the service of polymer foaming. Foams are generated by adding physical (gases and low-boiling compounds) or chemical blowing agents (gas-releasing compounds) to the polymer. In principle, all polymers can be foamed but only a limited number of materials have been employed in the manufacture of foams, such as the thermoplastics polystyrene, poly(vinyl chloride), and low-density polyethylene (LDPE), as well as phenolic and polyurethane resins. In the service of foaming, 1 kg of input corresponds to 1 kg of expanded plastics. The converted amount of plastics is not included into the dataset. Thus, it should be used along 1 kg of plastic that can be foamed(usually polystyrene). The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/4028/documentation
