Hemp Substitute For Concrete.

There is the hemp concrete substitute, which uses hemp hurds that are mixed with lime, water and can be mixed with either gypsum or with river sand to make this substitute. This mixture after it is poured becomes hard, mold resistant, insect resistance and is a lighter weight than concrete. When using this type of mixture the framework can be removed from the hemp concrete substitute within an hour's instead of days, this can speed the process of constructing a building measurable.

Another advantage of using the hemp hurd concrete substitute is that it performs three duties in one; it is the outer layer, the inner layer and the insulation in between. This hemp concrete substitute has been used in the building of hundreds of houses in the UK and Germany, the weight of hemp concrete as compared to regular construction concrete is a difference of between one a fifth and one seventh of the weight off for similar amount of concrete.

The use of hemp concrete substitute makes sense to many people and construction companies understand that this unlike other materials can be regenerated, year after year unlike many materials that cannot be regenerated. The industrial hemp plant has very little waste as most of the plant is used to manufacture construction materials, textiles and foods, that leaves little more than the root of the plant unused in the manufacture of some type of product.
