Limitless Possibilities... Minimize

Canfiber's revolutionary process offers industry the ability to use low-cost renewable technical fiber for a wide range of products- Limited only by the speed of industry adoption. By providing a cost effective alternative to large carbon footprint synthetics and glass fiber, capturing and storing tonnes of CO2 becomes a quantifiable metric- Without sacrificing quality. Now that is a long-awaited breath of fresh air!

Economy of scale is everything these days so we have developed an affordable, scalable technology that combines mobile processing with the simplicity farmers demand.  
The genomics of hemp cultivars today offer the dual benefit of being able to produce GLA packed seed, while maintaining a good fibre quality post seed harvest for textile quality products in one crop.
On average, 4.5 tons per acre of dual-use hemp fiber, yielding 1000Lb of GLA packed seed is grown every 100 days. Hemp's unique properties also support sustainable farming by naturally aerating and improving the soil by reduced pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer use needed for subsequent crops in rotation. 
With the ability to soon offer industry sustainable fiber in a variety of lengths; Utilized in luxury european cars for maximum fuel efficiency & biodegradability for over a decade, we can make real difference in north america. Chlorophyll-free cellulose for specialty paper markets is also produced during the process that is a proven additive allowing recycled paper to last 6 times longer than wood fibers alone. 
 The analysis (see bottom of page) proves that hemp hurd is a viable fuel source and is to be pelletized as Canfiber's first minimum viable product (MVP). 
 Hemp, kenaf and flax are North America's best biomass sources for the 21st century, for they hold the most promise to facilitate the global shift to truly sustainable products. By fostering the green economy through innovation and a lower price point, jobs and the environment will no longer be at odds, allowing future generations to enjoy what we have taken for granted for too long.
CANFIBER is leading the way to that  future. Follow us here and Linkedin/ Facebook and Twitter (once we hire a blogger :0)

INSULATION Minimize
  • Quick and easy installation without the itching and scratching!
  • Natural humidity regulation.
  • Certified declaration of all components- no hiding the formaldehyde!
  • R-symbol comparable to Rockwool insulation products.
  • High-quality natural product with proven European Technical Approval.
  • Best grade on the market today; A "0" in the mold fungus test!
TEXTILES Minimize
Our process leaves the bast fiber intact, tested with upward of 6 feet clean separation- IN ONE PASS.
Cleaned and bundled fibers are stockpiled, along with the means to offer standard 12mm lengths for ATCC approval for spinning machines. 
COMPOSITES Minimize

Hemp fiber is already being used to produce composite panels, as you can see above in the ECO-Elise by Lotus. Other applications include affordable cement or gypsum board reinforcement. The rising price of energy is making glass fibers more expensive than ever and as the excellent properties and length of biomaterials become common, a new generation's hope will be restored.

 

PRODUCER GAS Minimize

Hemp core has been proven to work efficiently in gasification; First noted during WWII for war factory heat and power and confirmed recently by SGS mineral services.
