Hence the value of discarded rice husks (also called hulls) as a naturally hydrophobic building material. Husks contain a high silica content used as an amendment to im Portland cement and produce rice concrete; it is also used for making geopolymers, ceramic glacthe blocthe class A thermal insulation, particle boards, and now Modern Mill’s ACRE line.
