Coir (pronunciation: /'k???r/), or coconut fibre, is a natural fibre extracted from the husk of coconut and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes, and mattresses. Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Other uses of brown coir (made from ripe coconut) are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture. White coir, harvested from unripe coconuts, is used for making finer brushes, string, rope and fishing nets.
Coir needled felt mats are non-woven mats made from 100% coir fibre. The fibre is selected, dried and then weaved in the needle felt machine for required thickness. Then the needle is punched to achieve the desired degree of compaction.
The fibre is bonded to form long sheets. Needled felt mats have excellent moisture absorption capacity and water retention characteristics. It is an ideal medium for plant growth. It is also used for lawn development and landscaping.
Advantages
Environmental Friendly
Easy laying
Easy rooting for plants
Water retention capability
COCO COIR PELLETS
The coco coir pellets contain absolutely no peat. They are made from coconut fibres, which are a by-product of harvesting coconuts. They are ideal for starting seedlings and can be used to replace traditional pellets. Coco coir pellets are very easy to handle and do not produce any mess.
The fibers of the mattress and the fiber mixture can be compressed into balls, each bale weighing about 125 kg to 150 kg, plastic or fiber straps can be used to secure the bales.
Load capacity is approximately 20 metric tons and 22 metric tons per 40 feet container, respectively, when using plastic strapping or belt.
Bales are a very economical way of transporting fiber for various industries,
Other Applications
All kinds of fibre mattresses
Yarn, Twine & Ropes
Brushes & Brooms
Door mats and carpets
Nursery pots & flower pots
Erosion control products
Coir, seed-hair fibre obtained from the outer shell, or husk, of the coconut with or without retting. They are resistant to abrasion and can be dyed. They are used to make brushes, are woven into matting, and are spun into yarns for marine cordage and fishnets.
There are two types of coir: the more commonly used brown fibre, which is obtained from mature coconuts, and finer white fibre, which is extracted from immature green coconuts after soaking for up to 10 months. Mature coir fibres contain more lignin, a complex woody chemical, and less cellulose than fibres such as flax or cotton.
