Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This product refers to 1 kg of polyurethane (CAS 9009-54-5) as flexible foam. Due to the added melamine it acts as a flame retardant. Since this flame retardant is nonhalogenated it is applied more and more frequently. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
