Raw industrial hemp fibre

Vicat Prompt - available in 25kg bags

VICAT PROMPT NATURAL HEMPCRETE LIME BINDER

Vicat Prompt is a natural hydraulic binder which follows a 150 year old process of being cooked at low temperatures. Also known as ‘natural cement’, Vicat Prompt contains a single raw ingredient, argillaceous limestone, and does not need additives such as Portland Cement.

Vicat Prompt is suitable for a wide range of applications including hempcrete walls and interior and exterior render finishes on new builds, extensions and heritage restoration projects.

During the mixing of hemp fibre and lime there is competition between the two materials for water. Hemp fibre has the ability to absorb 6 times its weight in water. Lime requires the exact amount of water to set. Our Vicat Prompt binder works to control the competition that occurs during the mixing of the hemp and lime without the need to add sand.

Vicat Prompt sets rapidly and formwork can be removed after 30 minutes.
