Definition
The IsoHemp hemp block is a Belgian-made, self-supporting masonry element used for thermal, hydric, and acoustic regulation. It is composed of hemp shives and a mixture of air and hydraulic lime, and is suitable for new constructions and renovations. It does not contribute to the structural load-bearing capacity.

Characteristics and Dimensions
The blocks are beige to off-white with a porous surface for easy adhesion. They come in various thicknesses (7.5 to 36 cm), with a standard length of 60 cm and height of 30 cm.

Packaging
Pallet dimensions and maximum weights vary depending on block thickness, ranging from 304 kg to 560 kg.

Technical Characteristics
Blocks are glued with IsoHemp adhesive mortar and must be protected from moisture. They have a dry thermal resistance ranging from 1.12 to 5.37 m²K/W and a thermal conductivity of 0.071 W/mK. The compressive strength is 0.22 MPa, and they have a sound reduction index of up to 44 dB.

Composition
The blocks consist of 9% air lime, 11% hydraulic lime, and 80% hempshive.

Conservation
Store on a flat, dry surface. Pallets can be stored for up to 6 months outside if unopened, and 3 months if open. Completed masonry can last up to 1 year.

Precaution for Use

IsoHemp hemp blocks are glued together using IsoHemp thin joint of adhesive mortar (3 mm). They must be protected against the risk of rising damp. Outside, the hemp blocks must be laid at least 20 cm from the ground. It is very important that the first row is laid perfectly horizontally, so that the wall can be built easily. During installation, take care to protect the masonry from the elements. For more details, refer to the IsoHemp Installation Guide.
