Thanks for this, it was helpful in my understanding of hempcrete binders. However as a thought exercise, if only Hydrated Lime Ca(OH)2 was used as a binder for hempcrete, would it all just fall apart as soon as you take the shutters off? Would it not be able to cure enough with the CO2 in the air, at least on the surface, fairly quickly to hold it all together? or would it as you say take months or years?? .... having said that, I'm thining of adding pozzolan materials like fly ash, metakaolin or pumice to introduce those silica and aluma (you know, like those Romans did), do you think that would be the same as using NHL3.5?
Super helpful! Where science meets the drum mixer. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
