Compovate hemp compounds
Compovate hemp compounds can be used in a wide range of applications. Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a resilient crop that thrives in harsh conditions. Industrial hemp contains no THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), therefore it has no psychoactive effects.
Hemp fibre grows rapidly and in abundance, making it a option with relatively low invironmental impact. This plant enriches the soil, is grown without chemical inputs, and aligns with the circular economy principles.
Some key benefits of hemp fibre include:
- Ability to thrive in various climates
- Low maintenance requirements
- Low water consumption
- Carbon sequestration capabilities
- Soil improvement qualities
- Natural resistance to many pests and diseases
Applications of hemp-based compounds
In plastic manufacturing, the processing window can limit the types of materials that can be used as carriers for hemp-based compounds. At Compovate, we combine hemp fibres with both virgin and recycled polyolefins, as well as biopolymers, to create compounds suitable for plastic conversion processes such as injection moulding, extrusion, and 3D printing.
