ORDER#: F-S2 100% American Hemp Short Fiber 0.5"

Short Hemp Bast Fiber (½")

Short hemp bast fiber is derived from the outer layer of the hemp stalk, known for its exceptional strength, durability, and versatility. This fiber is field retted and mechanically decorticated, then further cleaned to remove the majority of the woody hurd—resulting in a high-purity, ready-to-use natural fiber.

Processed to an average length of approximately ½ inch, this material is well-suited for applications requiring easy dispersion and uniform blending. While not combed or aligned, the fiber retains its natural structure, making it ideal for use as a reinforcement material across a wide range of industrial and construction applications.

Composites & Material Reinforcement
Short hemp fiber performs exceptionally well as a natural reinforcement in composite systems. It can be readily incorporated into cement, plastics, epoxies, and resins to improve tensile strength, flexibility, and crack resistance. Its compatibility with both thermoset and thermoplastic systems makes it a versatile solution for manufacturers seeking to enhance performance while incorporating sustainable materials.

Industrial & Construction Applications
With a cleanliness level of approximately 99% and only minimal residual hurd content, this fiber is suitable for use in building materials, insulation, nonwoven mats, stuffing, and other fiber-based products. When added to cementitious mixtures, hemp fiber helps improve structural integrity while reducing brittleness.
