Product Description

Coconut coir fiber, often referred to simply as coir, is a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconuts. It is a versatile and environmentally friendly material that has a wide range of applications. Here's a description of coconut coir fiber:

Extraction and Processing: Coconut coir fiber is obtained from the outer husk of mature coconuts. The husk consists of two main parts: the coir fiber and the coir pith (also known as coir dust or coir peat). To extract the fiber, the husks are soaked in water to loosen the fibers, which are then separated by mechanical or manual means. The extracted fibers are cleaned, processed, and sometimes spun into yarn or twisted into ropes.

Properties and Characteristics: Coconut coir fiber is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to decay and moisture. It is a coarse, stiff fiber with a natural golden to light brown color. Coir fibers contain high levels of lignin, which contribute to their durability. The fibers are also relatively stiff, making them suitable for various applications.
