HesMIX™
HESmix is The Original HempLime and consists of hemp-hurds, high calcium hydrated lime, HESplus and water (patented). The combination of these 100% natural raw materials produce a long lasting, lightweight, fire resistant, thermal and humidity regulating, rot and pest resistant, carbon negative building material which improves the indoor climate for all inhabitants
Benefits
-
HES-mix has been tried and tested in the worlds leading HempLime buildings
-
HES-mix is the only HempLime product which gets full benefits of hydrated lime
-
Hydrated lime can be sourced locally in many regions leading to lower cost of materials and transport by avoiding the need to import heavy pre mixed binders
-
Hydrated lime has lower carbon emissions than hydraulic lime and cement
-
Hydrated lime allows HES-mix to be more porous therefore lighter and more insulating
-
Hydrated lime allows HES-mix to have exceptional moisture/humidity regulating properties
-
Continuous carbonation (co2 absorbing) effect of hydrated lime allows hydrated lime to complete the lime cycle turning back to limestone.
-
No cement or toxic materials used, ensuring a breathing product good for health and alkaline indoor climate

Application
​
HempLime is used for walls roof and floor construction and insulation.
For walls, HempLime is packed into formwork, which is usually erected around a timber frame. When the wall formwork has been filled, the formwork can be lifted immediately and the HempLime will start its drying and curing process.
​
For floor and roof, HempLime can be placed directly onto gravel floors or placed on top of netting in between roof rafter or floor joists for insulation.
