What is Hempcrete? | American Lime Technology Website
Hempcrete is a bio-composite made of the inner woody core of the hemp plant mixed with a lime-based binder. The hemp core or “Shiv” has a high silica content which allows it to bind well with lime. This property is unique to hemp among all natural fibers.
Lime Hemp Plaster (Non-Hydraulic)
Ty-Mawr Lime Hemp Plaster is made from a high calcium lime (also known as a fat/air/putty Lime or non-hydraulic lime) blended with the hemp fibres. It requires exposure to Carbon Dioxide in the presence of moisture to harden however, it can be applied in thicker coats than conventional lime plasters and is easier and quicker to use.
