Engineered for Specialty Applications
Micro Hurd
HEMPTRAIN™ PRODUCED
Clean, Uniform, Engineered for High-Value Applications
Our micro-hurd is a clean, spec-sized (0.5–2mm) hemp hurd refined through our advanced HempTrain™ system, ensuring high purity and consistent particle uniformity. Its fine particle size provides increased surface area, making it ideal for applications requiring high absorption, enhanced binding, and smooth material integration.
From bioplastics and molded packaging to soil health and drilling operations, micro-hurd enables a wide range of sustainable industrial applications where particle consistency and purity are critical.

Ideal Applications
Bioplastics
Our fine micro-hurd serves as a high-performance natural filler for bioplastic formulations. Size-specified for consistency, it ensures uniform particle distribution, enhancing strength, absorption, and integration in molded packaging, composite panels, and other bio-based materials. The small, uniform particle size promotes smooth incorporation into polymer matrices, improving tensile strength, reducing petroleum-based content, and maintaining excellent moldability and surface finish.
Molded Packaging
Ideal for biodegradable and compostable packaging alternatives to EPS foam and other synthetics, our micro-hurd delivers uniform particles that ensure consistent wall thickness and structural integrity in molded composite packaging products.
Absorbents
The high surface area of our micro-hurd delivers exceptional absorption capacity, making it ideal for industrial absorbents, oil spill remediation, liquid waste management, and drilling fluid additives or cuttings stabilization. Its natural capillary action outperforms many synthetic alternatives, providing a sustainable, high-performance solution.
Soil Additives
Enhances soil structure, water retention, and microbial activity when incorporated as a natural amendment. The fine particle size integrates seamlessly into soil mixes, promoting root development and reducing irrigation requirements in both agricultural and horticultural applications.
BioPlasters
Ideal for high-performance plaster formulations, micro-hurd enhances workability and moisture regulation, making it perfect for sustainable interior and exterior plaster applications. Its natural fibers improve crack resistance, thermal performance, and overall durability, offering a superior alternative to traditional synthetic additives. The result is smooth, breathable wall finishes that regulate indoor humidity and promote healthier living environments.
