Based on the analysis of the thermal and mechanical properties of the most
common materials for the production of lightweight panel systems, in this work we
have produced a lightweight panel system made of hemp. The whole composite is
made on the basis of hemp fibres, which account for almost 80 % of the material
used. The manufactured panel system has the same composition of three layers as
the industrial one. The inner and insulating layers are made of hemp fibres and
melamine-urea-formaldehyde glue. The outer layer is a WPC board made of hemp
fibre and polyethylene. We determined the thermal and mechanical properties of
the hemp panel system. We found that the manufactured elements of the panel
system made of hemp fibres represent a composite material with favorable
mechanical and insulating properties.
