Hemp building powder
Hemp Powder is obtained through mechanical separation by crushing hemp round bales, which separates the inner part of the stem (shiv) from the outer bark (fiber). Through a continuous process of grinding, dedusting, and sieving, the product is reduced to fragments of the desired length.
Use
Hemp Powder is used as a plant-based aggregate in paste finishes made with aged slaked lime, calcium carbonates, crushed brick powder, or natural colored earths.
Composition
100% sourced from cultivated hemp stems,
processed and packaged starting from selected seeds
