Why Bison Biocomposites?

Waiting for a tamp-in-place hemp home to "dry" is now a needless step in hemp-home construction. Bison Bind/R was developed with the goal of increasing construction speed and safety without sacrificing sustainability! Better, faster, and cheaper is the goal for Bison Biocomposites where Bind/R is full strength overnight, becoming functionally inert, and can be demolded in 60 to 120 minutes with minimal tamping to speed up all phases of construction.

Bind/R has a lower carbon footprint than lime, particularly imported hydraulic lime which is mined and transported from around the world. The alkalinity of Bind/R which is as much as 10 times lower than that of hydrated lime increases worker safety and worksite hazards. The final hempcrete wall can be rendered within a week or less and can speed up the move-in date by MONTHS! Bison Bind/R is perfect for tamp-in-place homes as well as a binder for prefabricated building components like wood framed panels and prefab insulation blocks.

Flowable Hempcrete: Major Innovation

Tamp-in-place hemp homes are an absolutely wonderful option for housing resulting in better indoor air, thermal comfort, and acoustic qualities that are unrivalled! The more people and builders we have building these homes, the happier and healthier we will be.

To do this we need serious innovation. Hemp builders struggle to compete with traditional stick frame construction and hemp blocks offer some speed, but are difficult to procure. Bison's mantra of better, faster, cheaper has resulted in a way to take hemp home construction to the next level: Flowable hempcrete. This amazing creation can be formed and placed in a fraction of the time, contains no hazardous chemicals, and similar in up-front costs as tamp-in-place hempcrete. Mixing can be done using the same equipment as always and even pumped into hempcrete formwork with a working time of approximately 1 hour or more. This product has found a home in many applications. Reach out if you think flowable hempcrete insulation is right for your next project.
