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
