Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2026
Name
Testing workaround for bug in C stage
Technical purpose of product or process Finnfoam XPS is a thermal insulation board which retains its insulation capacity even in the most demanding conditions. The board´s special feature is its completely closed and consistent cell structure, which ensures a high insulation capacity and impermeability. Structures produced using Finnfoam XPS do not require separate vapor barriers or wind-proofing panels, which means that a single installation takes care of several work phases. Finnfoam XPS is used as building insulation, mainly for ground frost insulation and as insulation layers under concrete slabs. Finnfoam XPS thermal insulation boards are produced in different sizes and thicknesses, and in different strength classes. Thermal conductivity varies between 0.032-0.036 W/mK depending on thickness and strength class. This EPD is calculated for 1 m² of Finnfoam XPS 300 insulation material with thickness of 33 mm corresponding to R-value=1m²K/W. GWP-values per 1 m2 and R-values of other products in the product group are presented in Annex 1. Nominal densities are presented in Annex 2. More information can be found on www.finnfoam.se.

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.
