Introduction to Tradical® |
MATERIALS
Tradical® HB - Hemp binder
Tradical® HB is a pre-formulated binder based
on a high purity air lime manufactured in
accordance with the requirements of
BS EN 459. It is a blend of UK produced
Tradical® lime, Cement and other pozzolanic
and mineral additions. It has been carefully
formulated and tested over many years to
ensure consistent, quality results when used
with hemp.
Other Binders
Please note that cementitious or hydraulic
binders that have not been designed to be used
with hemp may produce unacceptable results.
The failure is often related to there being a
competition for water between the binder
and the hemp. If the binder has insufficient
moisture for the hyrdraulic components to set,
then the result can be a mixture of damp hemp
and/or dry powder.
