Rubber and plastics hoses and belting manufacturing

Plastics bottle manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is urea formaldehyde resin production. The Reference Product is urea formaldehyde resin. Urea formaldehyde resin, is a plastic product of fossil origin, it is not biodegradable and it is a thermoset material. This product consists of 100% virgin material with no content of recycled material. The product is used in the following applications and sectors: widely used to cure high MW solid epoxy resins at elevated temperatures (up to 200 °C) for metal can, drum, and coil coatings applications. The resultant coatings have excellent chemical resistance, good mechanical properties, and no effects on taste (adding or taking away taste from packaged foods or drinks). The vast majority of the food and beverage cans produced in theworld today are coated internally with epoxy-formaldehyde resin coatings. The can and coil coatings, generally, are cross-linked with phenol, melamine, or urea-formaldehyde condensation products at elevated temperatures (150-200 °C) with acid catalysts. 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/5167/documentation
