Steri-Flor UVDudick Inc.Product Flow DiagramLife Cycle Module Descriptions The manufacturing of this product involves the direct procurement of raw materials from suppliers in module A1. These materials are then transported in module A2 to Dudick’s manufacturing facility in Streetsboro, OH, where they are stored and mixed to produce the coatings in module A3. Packaging waste associated the raw materials is recycled and/or send to landfill in Module A3. The coating is distributed and sold across North America in module A4. The product is applied to substrates to create a protective flooring surface in module A5. Use of the product consists of daily maintenance cleaning with a mop and a cleaning solution such as Hillyard SM-1® Industrial Cleaner Degreaser in module B2. Necessary recoats (re-applications) of the product to achieve service life are modeled in module B4 per the PCR. The plastic or steel can packaging is discarded to landfill and a 2% coating loss rate during application is assumed per the PCR (for both initial application and any recoats). End of life impacts include transport to disposal and final waste processing in modules C2 and C3, respectively, and landfilling of the substrate with applied coating in module C4, per the PCR. LCA Discussion Allocation Procedure Product packaging was allocated by mass. Manufacturing inputs requiring allocation were electricity and natural gas as the production of multiple products is measured using a single meter for each. The allocation of each was based on the percentage of production for the product in question divided by the total site production output. Cut-off Procedure The model includes over 95% of the total material mass, energy and environmental relevance throughout the product lifetime. Cut-off rules do not apply for hazardous or toxic materials, and the materials were included in the study. Page 9 / 21
Steri-Flor UVDudick Inc. Data Quality Discussion The 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: Each product system's mass balance and inventory completeness were thoroughly checked. Similar exclusions were made in line with the PCR requirements, as stated in the original Dudick LCA. 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 one-year period of October 2022 to September 2023 to ensure the representativeness of post-consumer content. Secondary data from the ecoinvent v3.9.1 database is typically representative of recent years. • Geographical: Primary data represents Carboline’s production facility in Green Bay, WI and Dudick's production facility in Streetsboro, Ohio. 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. Page 10 / 21

Comparisons may be made between product-specific or industry average EPDs at the time of product purchase when product performance and specifications have been established and serve as a functional unit for comparison. 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 12 / 21

For the technical service-based lifetime, one initial coating application and 3 recoats are required to maintain the 60 year building lifespan.End of LifeC1 - C4 ModulesCollection ProcessCollected Separately:0.028 kgCollected with Mixed Construction Waste:1.36 kgRecoveryLandfill:1.36 kgIncineration:0.028 kgDisposalProduct or Material for Final Disposal:1.388 kgAssumptions for scenario development:The US EPA WARM model was used to determine the processes used to dispose of waste materials (coatings at the end of life in demolition waste) and unused product.Interpretation Data was collected for 12 month periods spanning calendar years 2022 and 2023 to ensure the representativeness of business activities and post-consumer materials. Manufacturing data represents Dudick’s production facility in Streetsboro, Ohio. Secondary data was obtained from ecoinvent v3.9.1, representing the most recent years available. The overall quality of the data used is considered representative of the product systems. The system boundary is cradle to grave, excluding: construction of major capital equipment; research and development activities; point of sale infrastructure; coating applicator and its maintenance and operation; human labor and employee transport; raw material, forming, and disposal impacts from secondary/tertiary packaging; Page 19 / 21
Steri-Flor UVDudick Inc.disposal of packaging materials not associated with final product; impacts associated with tool (mop) required for maintenance cleaning; building operational energy and water use; deconstruction and demolition. Overall, the replacement module of the use stage (B4), has the highest impact across all impact categories followed by the production stage, specifically module A1. Use stage accounts for approximately 60% to 90% of the total impact in all the impact categories depending on the design life. Note that the B4 module includes the A1-A5 modules for each recoat required for the product’s lifetime. The upstream raw material phase (A1) is the primary contributor to all impact categories. This is largely due to the number of different raw material processes required to produce the product. The production stage (A1-A3) contributes to around 10% to 25% of the total emissions in all the impact categories, where the major impact is from raw material extraction and processing of secondary input materials stage (A1). The construction stage (A4-A5), includes the transportation of the product from manufacturing to the customer. They account for less than 3% of the total emissions in almost all the impact categories. The transportation miles from the point of sale to the application site (A4) account for low impacts across all impact categories. Installation (A5) is the primary driver in this stage for environmental impacts due to disposal of product packaging waste. The use phase includes maintenance cleaning and recoats of the product. Product maintenance provides marginal contribution to the overall impact categories. As mentioned above, the replacement module (B4) is the primary impact driver for all the products. In end-of-life phase (C2-C4), disposal contributes the highest to eutrophication and global warming with biogenic carbon. Transportation to the disposal point phase (C2) has a relatively small contribution to all product life cycle impacts. Limitations are as follows: • The study is only applicable to the defined scenarios. • Environmental declarations from different programs may not be comparable (ISO 14025:2006). Even when the same PCR is followed, different LCA software and background LCI datasets may lead to different results for upstream or downstream of the life cycle stages declared. • With the current availability of data, it is nearly impossible to follow the entire supply chain associated with the product in a company-specific way. Many of the processes within the supply chains are modeled using average industry data with varying amounts of specificity (e.g., data on a more-or-less specific technology or region). This makes it difficult to accurately determine how well the unit process data represents the actual factors in the products’ life cycle. • Primary data was modeled based on information provided by Carboline, supplemented by data from technical and safety data sheets. Proxy materials were used when suitable secondary data sets were not available. • Material input and transportation distances are presented as averages and may not account for variations in material efficiency and supplier locations. • While generic data sets used for material inputs, transport, and waste processing are of good quality, actual impacts from material suppliers, transport carriers, and local waste processing may differ. • Datasets used in some instances were older than 10 years, but were judged best representation available. • The impact assessment methodology categories do not encompass all potential environmental impact categories. • Characterization factors used within the impact assessment methodology may entail varying levels of uncertainty. • LCA results are expressed relatively and should not be interpreted as predicting impacts on specific environmental categories, exceeding thresholds, safety margins, or risks. The overall data quality assessment score is judged to be "good". This judgement includes an assessment of "good" for the modeling of technology (primary drivers of model emissions are modeled using the same or similar but different technology), "fair" for time representation (dominant emissions sources are primarily within 10 years of age), and "good" for geography, completeness, and reliability, which are based on comprehensive primary data collection. 0%20%40%60%80%100% ODP AP EP POCP GWP-fossil GWP-total Production (A1 - A3)Construction (A4 - A5)Use (B1 - B7)End of Life (C1 - C4)Additional Environmental InformationPage 20 / 21
