Specifications
The document outlines the specifications of a 12 cm thick hemp block, known as HEMP BLOCK PAL12. Key dimensions include 60 x 30 cm, with a maximum block weight of 9.2 kg and a thermal conductivity of 0.071 W/mK. The block is non-flammable and meets the EN 12667 and NF EN 13501-1 standards.

Packaging and Storage
The blocks are packaged on pallets with dimensions of 120 x 100 x 145 cm, holding up to 60 blocks per pallet. The maximum weight of a pallet is 600 kg. The storage life is 2 years if covered, with a recommendation for exterior storage of up to 3 months.

Fields of Application
The 12 cm hemp block is suitable for insulation in old building renovations, providing thermal insulation and comfort. It is effective in humid environments and can be used for interior masonry, interior insulation, and external insulation.

Advantages
The block offers significant thermal phase-shift, thermal inertia input, quick and easy implementation, and natural humidity control.

Technical Characteristics
Key technical characteristics include modular dimensions, dry heat resistance, mortar adhesive consumption, dry apparent bulk density, heat resistance at 50% HR, thermal phase shift, sound resistance index, sound absorption coefficient, Sd diffusion equivalent thickness, water vapour diffusion resistance factor, resistance to compression, and reaction to fire.

Interior and Exterior Applications
For interior applications, the block is suitable for insulation and creating partition walls, providing sound insulation and humidity regulation. For exterior applications, it can be used as an envelope for timber frames or as formwork for shotcrete.
