Tecnocanapa – Biomattone® Pre-Cast Hempcrete Masonry Blocks
Description
Description1. The Material: Biomattone® is a highly engineered, pre-cast hempcrete block formulated strictly from industrial hemp hurd and a natural lime-based binder. It functions as a monolithic building envelope material, providing thermal mass, acoustic insulation, and structural infill without the use of Portland cement or petrochemical insulation foams (such as PUR or EPS).
2. The Company & The Story: Manufactured in Italy by Senini under the Tecnocanapa bio-building division, Biomattone® was developed to industrialize biogenic construction. Wet-cast hempcrete typically requires months of on-site drying time, slowing down commercial construction schedules. By pre-casting and factory-curing these blocks, builders can dry-stack the envelope rapidly, bridging the gap between ecological purity and modern construction speed.
3. Technical & Commercial Summary: Biomattone® is supplied on B2B pallets for residential and commercial masonry. It is typically utilized as an infill block within a structural timber or concrete/steel frame. Because the blocks are highly porous and vapor-permeable, they must be finished with a compatible natural lime render to protect against direct driving rain while allowing the wall to “breathe” and expel indoor moisture.
4. Features:
-
Zero Portland Cement: Relies entirely on the carbonation of natural lime, eliminating the massive CO2 emissions associated with clinker production.
-
Passive Humidity Regulation: The hygroscopic nature of the hemp-lime matrix acts as a mechanical lung. It passively absorbs excess indoor moisture and releases it when the air is dry, naturally preventing mold without synthetic vapor barriers.
-
Biogenic Carbon Sink: The hemp hurd traps atmospheric CO2 during its rapid agricultural growth phase. This biogenic carbon is permanently locked inside the Biomattone® matrix for the lifetime of the building.
-
Dry Assembly Speed: Arrives on-site fully cured, eliminating the critical bottleneck of wet-cast hempcrete drying times.
