Reference year	2025
Name	CHAPA GYPSUM® FORTISSIMA 15mm
Technical purpose of product or process	This EPD is relevant for CHAPA GYPSUM® FORTISSIMA 15mm, produced by Gypsum in the plants located at Santa Cruz (Rio de Janeiro) and Petrolina (Pernambuco), Brazil. This product is a gypsum plasterboard to be used as a general drylining in partitions, linings and ceilings. It is made from gypsum as core enclosed inside liners made from 100% recycled processed cellulose paper and reinforced edges. It is available in a variety of sizes and is suitable for tape & jointing treatment. The board is intended for indoors, commercial, or residential applications in load-bearing and non- load bearing wood or steel frame systems. It is the perfect solution for building from scratch, renovating or expanding a home, a commercial premises or any type of building, providing excellent performance in partition wall, ceiling or lining applications. Manufactured under the strictest quality standards and enhanced by various core additives, CHAPA GYPSUM® FORTISSIMA 15mm is designed for use in dry areas. Thanks to its robustness, CHAPA GYPSUM® FORTISSIMA 15mm delivers high mechanical performance, particularly in terms of impact resistance and hanging loads. It also offers improved fire resistance and acoustic performance. Further information can be found at https://www.gypsum.com.br

¹This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
²The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
