Specify this material

State the requirement before asking for a quote.

Methods must be agreed between buyer and supplier. A named parameter without its sampling basis and tolerance is not a complete specification.

01

Bulk density

Why it matters: Determines trailer payload, storage volume, and mix yield.
Test / declaration method: State sampling and weighed-volume procedure.

02

Particle size distribution

Why it matters: Controls packing, coating, and application consistency.
Test / declaration method: Documented sieve analysis; report retained fractions.

03

Fines below 2 mm

Why it matters: Excess fines change binder demand and handling.
Test / declaration method: Mass fraction passing a 2 mm sieve.

04

Moisture at load

Why it matters: Affects shipped weight, storage stability, and mix water.
Test / declaration method: Oven-dry method; state temperature, duration, and sampling.

05

Ash

Why it matters: Signals mineral contamination and affects downstream processing.
Test / declaration method: State laboratory method and sample basis.

06

THC documentation

Why it matters: Confirms lawful industrial-hemp origin and chain of custody.
Test / declaration method: Applicable jurisdictional certificate or crop documentation.

Typical ranges

Indicative planning figures, not a standard.

Use these only to frame an RFQ. Contract values must come from the supplier's declared lot specification and the buyer's intended process.

Bulk density90-150 kg/m3 loose-fill planning range

Particle size distribution5-25 mm principal fraction for many building uses

Fines below 2 mm0-5% by mass planning allowance

Moisture at load8-15% by mass planning range

AshNo universal range - agree buyer limit

THC documentationDocumentation requirement, not a material-performance range

Freight profile

Freight is part of the material specification.

Planning payload: About 10 tons / 53-ft trailer
Practical haul radius: No universal radius. Compare loaded-mile freight against delivered material value for the receiving ZIP.
