General comment The dataset covers all relevant process steps over the supply chain of the glass flakes production. The inventory is mainly based on data directly collated at the laboratory of the University of Bayreuth (UBT) and is completed, where necessary, by secondary data. Flakes are mainly used, in coated form, for optical purposes in lacquer, make-up, car paints. Flakes are also used in the building sector for innovative applications (e.g. coatings for window glazing systems). |
