Product Brief
Mill finish is the basic, uncoated finish of aluminium. It has a slightly dull, metallic appearance and may show some minor imperfections from the extrusion process. Mill finish profiles are often used in applications where the appearance is not critical, or where the profile will be further finished (e.g., painting, powder coating, anodizing).

Main Findings: GWP-GHG
The Declared Unit (DU) of this LCA is 1 kg and the findings below are expressed as kgCO₂e/DU.
| Impact Category | Unit | A1 | A2 | A3 | A4 | A5 | B1-B7 | C1 | C2 | C3 | C4 | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GWP-GHG | kgCO₂e | 1.27E+01 | 1.46E-02 | 1.20E+00 | 3.43E-02 | ND | ND | 2.14E-02 | 4.99E-03 | 2.30E-01 | 2.49E-03 | -2.01E+00 |
This indicator includes all greenhouse gases, excluding biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions, as well as biogenic carbon stored in the product, as defined by IPCC AR6 (2021). The indicator aligns closely with the Global Warming Potential (GWP) outlined in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, incorporating updated characterization factors and environmental impact indicators. Reading example: 1.57E-03 = 1.57*10⁻³ = 0.00157.
