Coir Fibre is extracted from the fibrous outer cover of the fruit of the Coconut palm, with or without retting. Coir Fibre is graded based on its nature of extraction, colour, presence of long and short fibres, impurities etc. It is then processed into the finest fibres. Coir Fibre is of two typesâ??brown and white. Coir obtained from fresh green Coconut is termed as White Fibre, which is finer than the Brown Fibre. The Brown Fibre are the outcome of Seasoned Fully Matured Coconuts which lose their green colour in the process. Each of them have their own distinct types of applications. The Brown Fibre is widely used for fabrication of doormats, brushes, mattresses and other upholstery material whereas the White Fibre is used for making ropes, making fishing nets, and other eco-friendly Products.
A spongy material that binds the coconut fibre in the husk, coir pith is finding new applications. It is an excellent soil conditioner and is being extensively used as a soil-less medium for agri-horticultural purposes. With its moisture retention qualities, coir pith is ideal for growing anthuriums and orchids. Available in raw form or converted into organic manure.
