Hemp Hurd comes from the inner layer of the hemp stalk, it’s soft to the touch, lightweight, and exceptionally absorbent. Hemp Hurd is very versatile, can be used in construction materials because it is fire-resistant, strong and insulating. This, combined with other properties such as mold resistant, low allergen and odour controlling makes for great loose fill applications like animal bedding, oil & gas spill cleanup.
Hemp hurd is also a superior alternative to traditional wood particulate products. It can be used as a sustainable source of cellulose, as well as nano carbons, which are essential for current and future technologies. Additionally as a bio-composite, hurd can be produced to make consumer and architectural products that are not only environmentally friendly but also durable and energy efficient.
