Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is polyurethane production, flexible foam, TDI-based, low density. The Reference Product is polyurethane, flexible foam. Polyurethane, flexible foam, is a plastic product of fossil origin, it is not biodegradable and it is a mostly thermoset, but it can also be thermoplastic. This product consists of 100% virgin material with no content of recycled material. The product is used in the following applications and sectors: furniture manufacturing (e.g. mattresses, upholstery, cushioning), lamination of fabrics, paddings in ski and sports boots, underlinings in the purse making industry, automotive industry ( e.g. sun visor fillings) and sound absorption materials for passenger, engine, and trunk compartments, sealing and filter materials in the ventilation system, packaging material for fragile goods, thermal insulation of heat accumulators and pipes, noise insulation, filter for liquids, household applications like sponges, adhesive, sealing, and jointing tapes, carpet padding, doormats, cleaning brush. 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/24624/documentation
