Short Hemp Bast Fiber (2"–5", Avg. 3")
Short hemp bast fiber is derived from the outer layer of the hemp stalk and is valued for its strength, versatility, and ease of processing. This fiber is grown in the United States, field retted, mechanically decorticated, and further cleaned to remove the majority of the woody hurd—resulting in a high-purity, ready-to-use material.
With an average fiber length of approximately 3 inches (ranging from 2 to 5 inches), this product offers an ideal balance between length and processability. The moderate fiber length allows for efficient blending and uniform distribution in a variety of composite and construction applications, while still providing meaningful reinforcement.
Composites & Material Reinforcement
This fiber is particularly well-suited for use in cement, plastics, epoxies, and resin systems. When incorporated into these materials, hemp fiber helps improve tensile strength, flexibility, and crack resistance. Its compatibility with both thermoset and thermoplastic systems makes it a reliable solution for manufacturers seeking enhanced performance with a sustainable input.
Industrial & Construction Applications
With a cleanliness level of approximately 99% and only minimal residual hurd content, this fiber is ideal for use in building materials, insulation, nonwoven mats, and stuffing applications. Its consistent quality and fiber length contribute to improved bonding and structural integrity across a wide range of end uses.
