What went live in November
Armatherm published Environmental Product Declarations in November 2025 for two flagship structural thermal break materials: Armatherm 500 and Armatherm FRR. Both were verified and registered with the International EPD System, with WAP Sustainability credited as the LCA practitioner (EPD International, 2025, EPD International, 2025).
Scope matters. Each EPD covers a product family and reports worst‑case results within that group, which aligns with how specifiers evaluate ranges they actually buy, not single SKUs (EPD International, 2025, EPD International, 2025).
Quick background on Armatherm
Armatherm makes structural thermal break materials used by architects and structural engineers to cut thermal bridges at steel and concrete interfaces. Think balcony and canopy connections, shelf angles, roof penetrations, and column bases. The 500 series is a thermoset polyurethane family. FRR is a reinforced thermoset resin for higher load or fire‑sensitive details.
What the EPDs actually say
These are not marketing PDFs. They are third‑party verified results under EN 15804 that teams can drop into submittals. Two useful datapoints for context, straight from the program listings. FRR supports loads up to 43,000 psi, which keeps it in play for heavy shelf angles and moment connections (EPD International, 2025). Armatherm 500 spans roughly 20 to 2,150 psi across densities, covering a big slice of façade and secondary steel details (EPD International, 2025).

Competitive snapshot, by the spec you’re chasing
Closest like‑for‑like options show EPD momentum too. Schöck publishes product‑specific declarations for Isokorb and related thermal break elements with IBU and INIES, so coverage exists in Europe‑leaning specs as well (Schöck in focus, 2025). Farrat’s STRUKTRA TBK structural thermal break also carries an International EPD System listing, which keeps it visible on global shortlists (EPD International, 2025).
Fabreeka actively markets its Fabreeka‑TIM range, yet we did not locate a program‑operator EPD for these products in the International EPD System as of June 11, 2026. That absence can nudge project teams toward conservative defaults that quietly penalize bids without product‑specific data.
Why this matters commercially right now
On EPD‑required projects, picking a product without a product‑specific declaration often forces pessimistic assumptions that make the math harder for everyone involved. These new Armatherm EPDs convert “trust us” into comparable numbers specifiers can cite under client rules and rating systems like LEED v5. That keeps Armatherm in the room on envelope details where thermal bridges decide outcomes.
Month of release and a small clarification
The FRR and 500 EPDs landed in November 2025. Armatherm also has an earlier EPD for its ArmaGirt Z‑girt published in July 2024, which sits in a different product category but shows the direction of travel toward transparency (EPD International, 2024). So November 2025 marks the debut of EPDs on its core structural thermal break materials.
Where to find the documents
Both EPDs are live on the International EPD System and also appear on Armatherm’s product pages. See Armatherm 500 and its EPD link on the product detail page, plus the FRR page with a direct EPD download (Armatherm 500 page, Armatherm FRR page). For a primer on the program operator, here is a quick field guide to the International EPD System on EPD Guide.
Visibility is key. If a specifier cannot find an EPD in their usual sources, it might as well not exist.
One more operational note on “listing lag”
EPDs are often issued before they flow into the global directories many specifiers use. The gap can be weeks or even months, which creates avoidable back‑and‑forth on bids. If shrinking that lag to a day or two is a priority, reach out and we’ll share how teams set up a faster path for future releases.
The takeaway
Armatherm has entered the transparency arena with family‑scope, spec‑ready EPDs on the materials that matter most in its portfolio. That lets carbon‑conscious projects compare apples to apples and helps Armatherm win on performance rather than placeholders. This is the kind of move that pays back quickly in specs, and it’s definitly one the market will notice.
