K Lime Hemp Lime Binder

K Lime Hemp Binder is a low density, hydraulic lime based binder used in the manufacturing of hempcrete (hemp concrete). Hempcrete is a bio composite building material which provides enhanced thermal properties to walls and roofs using sustainable materials. Typically, K Lime Hemp Lime Binder is blended with hemp shiv and water to create hempcrete as a semi-dry mix. The hempcrete is then normally cast around a steel or timber frame to create a solid, non-load-bearing wall. 

The hydraulic lime used in manufacturing K Lime Hemp Binder is manufactured in accordance to BS 459-1; K Lime Hemp Binder is manufactured in accordance with a quality system certified to ISO 9001.

Features and benefits:

• Can be cast or sprayed.
• Provides some racking strength for the frame.
• Robust, highly breathable.
• Sustainable, low environmental impact.
• Provides both thermal resistance heat storage.
• Contains a low level of cement to ensure sufficient cure and strength of the resulting hempcrete.
