Products


 

TTS has developed five value-added products using natural fibres: (1) fibre panels, (2) fibre-reinforced cement, (3) structural insulated panels (SIP), (4) engineered fibre mats, and (5) fibre-plastic composites. The products have various applications, including auto parts, walls, furniture, insulation, and soil erosion and weed control.

To date, the panels, cement, SIPS, and mats are ready for commercialization. These high performance products have been certified and demonstrated. There is strong market viability for all TTS products.

Value-added

TTS adds value to natural fibres that would otherwise go to waste or be sold in bulk for less.

Natural fibres

These are renewable agricultural residuals (hemp hurds, flax shives, cereal straws), forestry processing residuals (bark, harvesting slash, sawdust) and municipal and construction fibre waste.

High performance

The results speak for themselves. TTS products have been designed and tested for performance, meeting or exceeding industry standards.

Tested

All market-ready TTS products have been certified to meet commercial/industrial performance and safety standards.

Demonstrated

TTS products are ready for market because they are in the market. TTS has produced and sold small batches of its products, which are standing the test of time in real-life scenarios.

Market Viability

TTS products meet increasing demand for sustainable products that do not rely on petroleum and toxins, and recyclable and biodegradable.

Biocomposite Panels


This is a unique family of green panel board products made from a blend of agricultural and forestry fibre residues including cereal straw, hemp hurd, flax shive, bark and sawdust bonded with ultra low-fuming EcoBind™ resin systems.

All such TTS composites panels meet the requirements of the stringent Californian CARB 2 formaldehyde emission requirement of less than 0.09 parts per million.

The use of the panels will enhance LEED credits for projects seeking LEED accreditation.

Two groups of composite panels are available:

A-FOR 1: Panel made with a mixture of forestry residue and either one of cereal straw, hemp or flax.

A-FOR 2: Panel made with hemp only.

Bio-fibre Cement Composites


Fibre cement (FC) composites can be made with a range of natural fibres including wood waste, industrial hemp, and flax. In the process fibre is mixed with measured proportions of cement, water and additives, and blended according proprietary ‘recipes’ for a suite of applications. The current TTS fibre cement products are standard building blocks (cinder block) and cladding.

TTS’s FC blocks have a number of performance advantages over conventional concrete blocks:

  • Up to 50% lighter weight compared to conventional blocks
  • Reduced noise transmission
  • Better thermal insulation
  • Reduced cracking

The use of fibre cement composites will enhance LEED credits for projects seeking LEED accreditation.

Bio-fibre Mat


TTS fibre mat (Fiber510™) is a “carpet-like” flexible composite made with either one or a combination of wood, flax, hemp, kenaf, jute and synthetic fibres. The fibre matrix is mixed with an environmentally friendly binder system which may be thermoset or thermoplastic depending on the intended final application, and then formed on an air lay mat forming equipment.

Fiber510™ has a diversity of environmental and industrial applications including biodegradable erosion control, weed control, planting medium, biodegradable air filter, automotive composites and most applications where fibre glass is currently used.

It can be designed to meet a wide range of processing conditions including thermal compression molding, and resin transfer molding (RTM) applications for 3D component fabrication and ranging in density from 200g/m2 to 3500g/m2. The low density of the product, coupled with the high specific tensile strength makes Fiber510™ an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to most composite components currently made with fibre glass.

The use of the fibre mat will enhance LEED credits for projects seeking LEED accreditation.

Structural Insulated Panel (SIP)


TTS SIP (R-Therm™) is made of polyurethane foam core created between two outer skins of either one or a combination of drywall, plywood, hardboard, or Oriented Strand Board (OSB) resulting with a strong and super insulated construction panel.

The company has developed a new way to construct Structural Insulated Panels that is significantly more cost effective than traditional methods of manufacturing. Unlike most other SIPs in the market the standard 6” R-Therm™ SIP integrates 6” studs at 24” centres. Therefore, there is no need to be confined to post-and-beam design as the panels are sufficient to carry structures as per the requirements of the Canadian Building Codes.

R-Therm™ SIPs are used to construct garage ceilings, floors, walls, and roofs. The product offers greater insulation qualities (R=36) and a significant increase in structural strength over traditional wooden framed or “stick built” homes.

Besides the standard panels, custom built structural modules (4’ wide by up to 12’ high) panels, fabricated to customer requirements are also offered. Further, the panels are designed with “lap-joint” for ease of assembly resulting in substantially shorter construction times and no construction site wastage.

The use of R-Therm™ SIP will enhance LEED credits for projects seeking LEED accreditation.
