059139de-1193-4588-b2cc-c55426a5a412 Cable holders and plugs - Mandrel (Group 15) Ledningsholdere og plugs - Mandrel Komposite Systembauteile Plugs are used to secure screws in walls, ceilings, and floors. They work by expanding when a screw is fastened, creating a firm grip in materials like concrete, masonry, or plaster. This makes them useful for mounting heavy objects or installing electrical appliances. Cable holders, such as cable clips or wire clips, are used to fasten and organize electrical cables along walls. They ensure that cables and wires are neatly bundled and securely positioned, which helps prevent potential damage to the cables. This is important both for the functionality of electrical installations and for maintaining safety standards. 0 2025 2030 valid from 2025-02-12 - 2030-02-12 2025-02-12 Fastening materials in the form of cable clips, plugs, brackets, Fixing band, screws and mandrels Number of declared datasets/product variations: 41 datasets which cover 275 products. For information about essential properties and performance of Tillex' products, please refer to their website: https://tillex.dk/ and their brochure that can be downloaded online, which among other things describes the use and properties of the products. A1 – Raw materials Tillex purchases raw materials from external manufacturers who are responsible for the production of materials such as masterbatch (MB), various metals, plastic granules and packaging for the raw materials. The masterbatch consists primarily of virgin polyethylene, which provides a robust plastic base. Pigments are added to give the desired color. In addition, fillers, such as calcium carbonate, and UV stabilizers are added in white, black and grey masterbatches to protect against sunlight. The metals used by Tillex include galvanized steel and zinc. The plastic granules, which are also part of the raw materials, include various types such as HDPE (high density polyethylene), nylon and PP (polypropylene). Cardboard boxes and LDPE plastic are used for packaging the raw materials to ensure safe transportation and storage. A2 – Transport to Tillex Module A2 covers the transport of purchased raw materials from producers within the EU to Tillex. All transport is assumed to be by trucks (>32 tons, EURO4). A3 – Production at Tillex At Tillex, the actual production takes place. The purchased plastic granules are injection molded into products such as cable clips and plugs. The injection molding machines use electricity to shape the plastic. Once the plastic is molded, it cools down without any additional energy consumption. Some products require extra steps, such as cable clips, where nails and screws are installed on an assembly machine. After the production process, the products are packed in cardboard boxes, labeled, shrink-wrapped and palletized. For some products, large buckets are used that can hold many pieces at a time. Some products are purchased ready-made (Clamps, fixing band, screws and mandrels) and go directly to the packaging stage without going through production at Tillex. Tillex uses natural gas for heating premises and water for, for example, sinks and toilets. The waste consists primarily of LDPE plastic, cardboard boxes and residual waste. Cardboard and plastic are sent for recycling, while residual waste is incinerated. Waste fractions such as biowaste, metal and paper are excluded due to cut-off rules, which means that their environmental impact is not included in the assessment. At Tillex, electricity consumption is measured separately for each machine, so that energy consumption can be linked directly to the respective products. Natural gas and water are allocated according to total volume in 2023, and weight (kg) is used as the allocation parameter, as resource consumption and waste volume follow the total production volumes. Since Tillex's plastic products are not interdependent, there is no coproduction, and the economic 25% rule does not apply. Energy modeling Foreground system: Tillex does not use green electricity in their production and therefore a Danish residual mix has been chosen in module A3. In addition, Tillex also uses natural gas to heat their premises. Information about energy mix in the foreground system: Background dataset Emission (fossil) Electricity, medium voltage {DK}| electricity, medium voltage, residual mix | Cut-off, U 0.18 kg CO2e / MJ Heat, central or small-scale, nature gas {Europe without Switzerland}| market for heat, central or smallscale, nature gas | Cut-off, U 0.08 kg CO2e / MJ Background system: Upstream processes are modeled with the average European electricity mix. Downstream processes are also modeled with the average European electricity mix from the ecoinvent v. 3.10 database. Cable clips Cable management systems are components used to organize and secure wires and cables, keeping them in place and preventing tangling. They are often used in electrical and electronic installations, ensuring that the wires remain stable and protected from mechanical stress and wear. Cable management systems can also improve aesthetics and safety by keeping wires away from areas where they could interfere or be damaged.
