ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY HEMP PLASTIC COMPOSITE FORMULATIONS AND MOLDING METHODS

Fuente: WIPO "industrial hemp"
This disclosure describes the method for preparation of hemp fiber and thermoplastic composites and their formulations. Hemp feedstock is processed with mechanical refiners and then compounded with plastics that have a reduced environmental footprint because they are recycled or biodegradable. The resulting product has a formulation containing hemp fiber or particles in a matrix of recycled or biodegradable thermoplastic that can be manufacturing using injection molding, compression molding or other molding methods.
