Congrats PFC Corofil, first EPD is live

What just launched

PFC Corofil’s debut Environmental Product Declaration covers an Open State Cavity Barrier in the COSB 25 line for ventilated façades. The declaration is product‑specific rather than a broad family scope, and it is issued by the program operator EPD Hub. Publication month is July 2025.

Why it matters for their portfolio

PFC Corofil supplies passive fire protection solutions for the building envelope, including open‑state and full‑fill cavity barriers used across rainscreen and masonry façades. An EPD for a flagship barrier helps design teams keep the brand in play when project carbon accounting prefers product‑specific declarations instead of generic defaults that can quietly push a submittal aside.

Competitive snapshot, cavity barriers

The category is already EPD‑active. Siderise publishes a verified EPD for RH Open State Horizontal Cavity Barriers and a separate declaration that groups closed‑state barriers and firestops, which signals portfolio breadth. Hilti lists multiple current EPDs that include ventilated and non‑ventilated cavity barriers, plus a flexible firestop seal system, making them a familiar benchmark for specifiers (Hilti at a glance). Tenmat has EPDs for ventilated cavity barriers across several sizes. PFC Corofil now matches that baseline with a first product on the board, a smart step when bids ask for like‑for‑like transparency.

Scope notes that help specifiers

This first EPD reads as a single‑product scope, not a family umbrella. That is perfectly valid and often faster to ship. The next commercial unlock typically comes from expanding coverage to adjacent widths or variants that appear on the same schedule, so buyers are not juggling mixed documentation within one façade package.

Program operator choice

The declaration is published with EPD Hub, a digital‑first operator that verifies Type III EPDs against EN 15804 and ISO 14025. Many façade and fire‑protection manufacturers also publish on IBU or The International EPD System, so teams should pick an operator their target markets already accept, then keep renewal planning simple by aligning future documents to the same ruleset. Getting that alignment right saves time that commercial teams would rather spend winning specs, not chasing paperwork.

What this changes in the room

With a current, third‑party verified EPD, project teams can evaluate the cavity barrier on its own merits rather than falling back to conservative generics that add friction. Sales conversations move faster, substitutions are less likely, and pricing no longer carries the hidden penalty of missing data. It sounds small, but it is often the difference between almost and awarded.

What to do next

Extend coverage to the rest of the cavity‑barrier range, then to full‑fill barriers that sit in the same façade package. Keep data collection lean by using one recent reference year across plants, materials, energy, transport, and waste, and by choosing product families that share bills of materials. The partner you choose should handle the heavy lifting on data wrangling so engineering and operations stay focused on thier day jobs.

Can we find the EPD on their website today

We did not locate a public EPD download on PFC Corofil’s site at the time of writing. Visibility matters for submittals, so we recommend adding the PDF to product and sustainability pages, and linking it from technical datasheets. Make it two clicks max from the product page to the declaration so estimators and designers can grab it without delay.

Takeaway

PFC Corofil’s first EPD puts a key façade fire‑stopping product on equal footing with established rivals. The move signals a clear intent to compete where verified data decides shortlists. Keep the momentum going with portfolio coverage, consistent rules, and simple access for specifiers who need to move fast.
