Plastic film (polycarbonate) (made by melt extrusion-casting process)

Process description: The melt extrusion-casting process produces the main product plastic film (polycarbonate). For this purpose, the process consumes hydrochloric acid and polycarbonate. Utilities consumed comprise cooling water, thermal energy, electricity, unspecific inorganic chemical, cement, and disposal of cement. Dataset type is technology-specific (extension layer). Allocation type is no allocation needed in this unit process. In case of energy co-production, allocation via avoided burden is applied for the co-produced energy. CAS RN is polymer. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
