KANABAT hemp granulate is obtained by mechanically defibreing industrial hemp straw, also called hemp shavings, which are particles that make up the soft central part of the hemp stalk.

After defibration, the particles that make up the shavings are pulverised and sieved according to the desired applications: for wet-process building applications, the desired particle size can only be obtained after selecting and sorting the particles.

Its use must comply with the Professional Standards for working with hemp concrete in force for each type of application.

Field of application:

Chippings can be applied, when mixed with binders and if necessary additives and water, for thermal or decorative plasters.
It is essential to follow the mixing recommendations provided by the binder supplier: (volumes, mixing order, conditions, possible additives)
KANABAT cannot be used for anything other than construction-related purposes.

It is not recommended to use KANABAT in a dry process, therefore without mixing it with a binder: in addition to the lack of fire resistance in its raw state, there are possibilities of moisture absorption and the development of mould or insects.

Mixing equipment:

The product is manufactured on the building site using a mixing machine. It is then moulded in formwork and cured naturally.

By using a horizontal drum mixer, the mixing process is faster and more effective, allowing for greater cost savings.

Characteristics and dimensions:

Chip moisture content <16%, cane moisture content measured each time the batch of chips is changed.

Density of 100+-15kg/m3.

Controlled and constant particle size, 0-4 mm (diameter measurement), and dust rate passing through a 0.15 mm sieve of less than 1%, the result of a combined process of continuous suction and sieving.

Storage:

Store protected from inclement weather (wind, humidity, etc.) and do not expose to the sun.

Consumption:

Varies depending on the type of application. For walls, 110-115 kg/m3 is used as a reference.
