Reducing VOC Emissions from Hemp Acoustic Panels

The use of hemp acoustic panels in recording studios is hindered by the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which cause a noticeable odor, especially under warmer conditions. The challenge is to reduce or eliminate VOC emissions without compromising the acoustic performance of the panels. This requires finding treatments, coatings, or material modifications that preserve the panels' acoustic transparency while minimizing VOC release.
