Product catalog summary
Definition
The IsoHemp hemp block is a non-structural masonry element made in Belgium, composed of hemp chips and a mixture of air and hydraulic lime. It is used for thermal, hydric, and acoustic regulation in construction and renovation projects but is not suitable for supporting floors or roofs.

Characteristics and Dimensions
The blocks are beige to off-white with a porous surface, facilitating easy application of coatings. They come in modular dimensions with thicknesses of 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, and 30 cm, a length of 60 cm, and a height of 30 cm.

Technical Specifications
The blocks have a dry bulk density of 340 kg/m³ and varying thermal resistance depending on thickness. They offer sound reduction and fire resistance, with specific values provided for each thickness.

Application
IsoHemp blocks are bonded with a 3mm joint using IsoHemp mortar. They should be installed at least 15 cm above ground level and protected from weather during construction.

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

Storage
Blocks should be stored on a flat surface, protected from rain, and in a ventilated area. They can be stored for up to 3 months outside or 2 years if covered.

Packaging
Pallet dimensions are 100 x 120 x 145 cm with a maximum weight of 600 kg.

Instructions for Use
Application should occur at temperatures between 5 and 30°C, free from rain and frost. The blocks have specific technical values for compressive strength, flexural resistance, and other properties.

ISOHEMP TECHNICAL DATA SHEET ISOHEMP HEMP BLOCK 1. Definition The Belgian-made hemp block is a free-standing masonry element that does not fulfil any structural function. It is comprised of hemp chips and a mixture of air and hydraulic lime. The product is moulded, pressed and then cured and dried in the open air without the need for any heat input. IsoHemp blocks are used for thermal, hydric and acoustic regulation in new builds (with structure), and interior and exterior renovation. They are used in the form of masonry for filling framework, building envelopes or as partition walls or floor insulation. They are not at all suitable for supporting a floor or roof. The IsoHemp hemp blocks have a colour ranging from beige to off white with a porous surface between the plant strands which is highly suitable for easy application of the outer coating. The blocks have modular dimensions: • Thickness: 6, 9, 12, 15, 20 and 30 cm • Length: 60 cm • Height: 30 cm Product range Modular dimension [mm] Thickness [mm] Number of blocks per m2 [-] Dry bulk density [kg/m1] Dry thermal resistance [m2K/W] Thermal resistance 50%RH [m2K/W] Equivalent air layer thickness Sd [m] Phase shift [h] (ISO 13786) Sound reduction index Rw [dB]2 Fire resistance 2 [min] Technical specifications Masonry wall with render on one side: certified value / extrapolated value IsoHemp S.A. - 18, Rue du Grand Champ - 5380 Fernelmont Page 1 of 2 www.isohemp.be - +32 (0) 81 39 00 13 - [email protected]
