| Abstract: | The increasing demand for reducing the environmental footprint of the construction sector has led to the development and investigation of alternative bio–based materials. In this context, industrial hemp represents a renewable lignocellulosic resource withsignificant potential for application in insulating composites. This study investigates the preparation and experimental characterization of hemp–lime composites, with particular emphasis on the influence of mixture composition and particle size distribution on the resulting material properties. Ten experimental formulations were produced using manually processed hemp fibers, followed by microstructural analysis, compressive strength testing, and fire performance evaluation. The results indicate a strong correlation between mixture composition and mechanical performance, as well as favorable behavior under flame exposure. Although the composites exhibit relatively low compressive strength, their performance is adequate for non–structural applications, supporting their suitability as sustainable insulating materials in construction.
