EKOLUTION® Hemp Fibre Insulation
Product information
This EPD covers the production of insulation from bast fibres derived from the industrial hemp plant. The bast hemp fibres are a soft, woody fibre obtained from the hemp stems and have a very high tensile strength. The hemp fibres are often used as a reinforcement in bio-composites and has very good thermal and acoustic insulating capacity.
Ekolution® Hemp Fibre Insulation is thus a bio-composite material that is very suitable for the construction sector. Ekolution® Hemp Fibre insulation has several technical and environmental advantages:
- The industrial hemp binds large amounts of CO2 in a plant during its growth, faster than most other sources of biomass raw materials.
- Low-embodied energy
- High sorption capacity (moisture buffering) and effectively adjusting humidity levels
- High specific heat inertia, means that hemp fibre takes longer to heat and cool, resulting in less temperature variations in the material
