Comparison of the environmental performance of products using EPD information shall be based on the product’s use and impacts at the building level, and therefore EPDs may not be used for comparability purposes when not considering the whole building life cycle. EPD comparability is only possible when all stages of a life cycle have been considered. However, variations and deviations are possible. Example of variations: Different LCA software and background LCI datasets may lead to differences results for upstream or downstream of the life cycle stages declared. The EPD owner has sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.Organization Information Stonhard is committed to manufacturing and installing quality, seamless products that protect, maintain and enhance industrial and commercial environments.

Ston�ote HT4StonhardProduct Flow DiagramLife Cycle Module DescriptionsPrimary data were collected for the 12 month period starting June 2023 and ending May 2024 to ensure technical, geographical and temporal the representativeness. The manufacturing process entails the addition of pre-weighted ingredients, followed by mixing in the correct sequence to create the desired products. Subsequently, Page 8 / 15

Ston�ote HT4Stonhardpackages and distributes the finished products to various distribution centers. The process involves the use of grid electricity, energy from natural diesel combustion, an process water. Non hazardous waste consisting mainly of packaging material is sent to disposal or recycling.LCA DiscussionAllocation ProcedureAllocation of co-products was avoided, to the extent it was possible, based on the guidance given in ISO 14044:2006, 4.3., in EN 15804+A2:2019 and section 4.5.1 of Construction Products PCR 2019:14 version 1.3.4. Mass allocation was applied to energy and water use at the facility level. Waste allocation followed the polluter pays principle as indicated in section 4.5.2 of the PCR. Total product mass produced at each facility was provided.Cut-off ProcedureNo cut-off criteria are defined for this study. The system boundary was defined based on relevance to the goal of the study. For the processes within the system boundary, all available energy and material flow data have been included in the model. In cases where no matching life cycle inventories are available to represent a flow, proxy data have been applied based on conservative assumptions regarding environmental impacts.Data Quality DiscussionThe quality of inventory data is evaluated based on several criteria, including precision, completeness, consistency, and representativeness.Precision and Completeness• Precision: The inventory data used in this study were either directly measured, calculated, or estimated based on primary data sources, ensuring high precision. Background data from ecoinvent v3.9.1 database also has documented precision to the extent available.• Completeness: The product system's mass balance and inventory completeness were thoroughly checked. Some exclusions were made in line with the PCR requirements, such as personnel impacts, R&D activities, business travel, secondary packaging, point of sale infrastructure, and the coating applicator. However, no data was intentionally omitted..Consistency and Reproducibility• Consistency: Primary data were collected with a similar level of detail, while background data came from the ecoinvent v3.9.1 database. The modeling approach and other methodological choices were applied consistently throughout the model. Default values from the PCR were considered where there was unavailability of primary data, For example, the default waste transport distance was used for product disposal assessment.• Reproducibility: This study ensures reproducibility by providing comprehensive disclosure of input-output data, dataset choices, and modeling approaches. A knowledgeable third party should be able to approximate the results using the same data and modeling methods.Representativeness• Temporal: Primary data were collected for the 12 month period starting June 2023 and ending in May 2024 to ensure the representativeness of post-consumer content. Secondary data from the ecoinvent v3 database is typically representative of recent years. to ensure the representativeness of post-consumer content. Secondary data from the ecoinvent v3 database is typically representative of recent years.• Geographical: Primary data represent Stonhard's production facilities. Where applicable, differences in electric grid mix were considered using appropriate secondary data. The use of country-specific data ensures high geographical representativeness, and proxy data were only used when country-specific data were unavailable.• Technological: Both primary and secondary data were tailored to the specific technologies studied, ensuring high technological representativeness.Page 9 / 15

Environmental impact results shall be converted to a functional unit basis before any comparison is attempted. Any comparison of EPDs shall be subject to the requirements of ISO 21930 or EN 15804. EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they have different system boundaries. EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they have different system boundaries, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. Such comparison can be inaccurate, and could lead to erroneous selection of materials or products which are higher-impact, at least in some impact categories.Page 10 / 15

These materials are then transported to manufacturing facilities in Europe where they are stored and mixed to produce the coatings. Notably, the product stage (stage 1) has the highest impact contribution, mainly attributed to the combined environmental impacts associated with raw material manufacturing and energy used in manufacturing.• For products with significant manufacturing energy impacts, the shift to renewable energy sources is recommended.•Page 13 / 15

Ston�ote HT4StonhardGiven that the raw materials used in product manufacturing have a significant impact, exploration of opportunities to substitute these materials with alternatives that have a lower environmental impact. Additionally, consideration should be given to collaborating with suppliers who employ sustainable manufacturing techniques or integrate more renewable energy into their production processes. Such initiatives can lead to more environmentally friendly products and further enhance the sustainability of the products in this analysis.0%20%40%60%80%100% GWP-total GWP-biogenic GWP-fossil GWP-luluc ODP AP EP-freshwater EP-marine EP-terrestrial POCP ADP-minerals&metals ADP-fossil WDP Production (A1 - A3)Construction (A4 - A5)End of Life (C1 - C4)Additional Environmental InformationBefore using this product, it is recommended that the operator read and follow all caution statements on the product data sheet and on the SDS for this product, and personal protective equipment must be used as directed.Page 14 / 15
