Saint-Astier® ISOCANNA H**p Hurd (https://www.limeworks.us/product/saint-astier-isocanna-hurd/) is a natural building material made from the woody core of industrial h**p stalks, processed into lightweight, uniform pieces designed specifically for use in h**p-lime (h**pcrete) construction systems. Sourced and refined under the Saint-Astier® brand, it is engineered to work as the aggregate component in insulating infill mixes when combined with lime binders. The hurd provides the structural “skeleton” of h**pcrete, creating a breathable, bio-based composite that can be cast or sprayed into walls, floors, and roofs. Its consistency, cleanliness, and controlled grading make it suitable for both new builds and retrofit projects where sustainable, low-impact materials are prioritized.
