IKO Permatec LI

Name: IKO Permatec LI
Brand: IKO

IKO’s flagship hot melt: a monolithic hot-applied compound of refined bitumen and synthetic rubbers, supplied as 12 kg fully-dispersible blocks with a zero-waste wrapper, for inverted roofs and podium decks. Anti-Root variant available; BBA approved; marketed as lasting the design life of the building.

Product Evidence

IKO

Recorded Carbon Result

154kgCO₂e/tonne

A1–A3 GWP-total per tonne of Permatec LI compound, per EPD Hub HUB-1377. Includes −172 of temporarily stored biogenic carbon largely re-emitted in later modules — GWP-fossil for the same unit is 325. Per tonne of compound, not per m² of roof.

Indicator: GWP-total

A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

Environmental Product Declaration

EPD recorded

Coverage: Product family
Declared unit: 1 tonne of manufactured bituminous mixture (1000 kg)
Programme: EPD Hub
Registration: HUB-1377
Standard: EN 15804+A2
Valid until: 2029-05-09
Verification: Third-party verified

Covers Permatec LI and LI Anti-Root (stated GWP-fossil variation <1.1%). Declared per tonne of compound — coverage varies with application thickness, so no per-m² figure exists and none is derived. Biogenic caveat: GWP-total (154) sits below GWP-fossil (325) because −172 kgCO2e/t of biogenic carbon is booked into A1-A3 and largely re-emitted in A5 and C — the A1-A3 total benefits from temporary biogenic storage.

Design & Specification Notes

Qualitative notes for early design discussion. Not product-specific EPD evidence, and not a basis for numerical comparison.

Typical Uses

•Roof coverings
•Waterproofing layer
•Weather protection

Key Performance

High durability in wet exposure and wind uplift.

Typical Service-Life Estimate

40 years

Generic estimate for early design discussion; confirm with the manufacturer.

Specification Actions

•Confirm the current EPD covers the selected product, finish and manufacturing route.
•Calculate transport distances for primary materials.
•Document material reuse or reclaimed content percentages.

Indicative Health & Indoor Air

low Risk

Installation risks (torch application, hot works, hot-air welding) are the installer’s to manage; follow the current manufacturer guidance.
