Hemp Hurd
Hemp Hurd

Find suppliers of hemp hurd and binder. Hemp hurd, also known as shiv, is the woody, fibrous core found inside the stalk of the hemp plant. This by-product of hemp fiber production is highly absorptive and has excellent thermal and acoustic properties, making it an ideal material for sustainable construction. When mixed with a lime-based binder, hemp hurd becomes the primary aggregate in hempcrete, a lightweight, biodegradable building material.

Understanding Hemp Hurd and
Engineered Hempcrete Binder

Hemp hurd, also known as shiv, is the woody, fibrous core found inside the stalk of the hemp plant. This by-product of hemp fiber production is highly absorptive and has excellent thermal and acoustic properties, making it an ideal material for sustainable construction. When mixed with a lime-based binder, hemp hurd becomes the primary aggregate in hempcrete, a lightweight, biodegradable building material.

The engineered hempcrete binder is a specifically formulated lime-based binder designed to optimise the chemical reactions with hemp hurd. This results in a building material that not only supports it’s own weight in the structure and provides natural insulation and moisture regulation. The composition of the binder is crucial as it affects the overall durability, strength, and efficiency of hempcrete.

One of the significant advantages of using hemp hurd and engineered binder in construction is the positive environmental impact. Hemp absorbs a considerable amount of CO2 during its growth, making hempcrete a carbon-negative material at some stages of its life cycle. Furthermore, hemp crops require minimal water and pesticides, promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

Moreover, buildings constructed with hempcrete offer exceptional fire resistance and pest deterrence due to the natural properties of hemp and lime. These materials also contribute to a healthier indoor air quality by moderating humidity levels, preventing the growth of molds and fungi.

Progressive innovations in the formulation of hempcrete binders continue to enhance the efficiency and applicability of hemp hurd in modern construction. These advancements are paving the way for more widespread adoption of this eco-friendly building solution.

Hemp hurd and engineered hempcrete binder represent transformative elements in the pursuit of sustainable and green building practices. As the construction industry moves towards more ecologically responsible materials, hempcrete stands out for its environmental benefits, efficiency, and renewable nature, setting a new standard in the eco-construction domain.
