Emission Factor

Cement plaster (cement plaster production - hand-mixed on site)

Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product plastering is done on the walls to remove surface imperfections maintain line level and alignment. In addition to that it also acts as a protective surface for external walls. Cement plaster Gypsum plaster and Lime plaster are the commonly used plastering materials for house constructions. Cement plaster is made by mixing cement and sand in the proportions required. Cement plaster is applied to both interior and exterior walls to give them a smooth surface. The differences between mortar and plaster lie in the capacity of plasters to take better finish which depend to a very large extent on the type of sand used in the mix. For plasters we use finer sand. However in mortar we use coarse particles of sand. Mix ratio is the volumetric mixing ratio of cement and aggregates. Mix Ratio varies from 1:3 to 1:6 depending upon the application area. The mix ratio accounted for this dataset is 1:6. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
