Key features:

  • Natural Origin: Coir Fiber is derived from the fibrous outer shell of coconuts, making it a natural and sustainable choice for various applications. We ensure the use of quality coconut husks to produce a coir fiber that meets stringent standards.
  • Unique Structure: The individual fiber cells of coir are narrow and hollow, featuring thick walls made of cellulose. Initially pale when immature, they undergo a natural process of hardening and yellowing as lignin, a key chemical compound, is deposited on their walls. This unique structure contributes to the strength and resilience of coir fiber.
  • Mature Brown Coir Fibers: The mature brown coir fibers, characterized by increased lignin content and reduced cellulose, exhibit exceptional strength while maintaining a degree of flexibility. Comprising small threads, each about 1mm and 10 to 20 micrometers in diameter, these fibers are ideal for various industrial and agricultural applications.
  • White Fiber Variants: Coir fiber is available in white variants, offering a smoother and finer texture. While slightly weaker than its brown counterpart, white coir fiber is prized for its softness and suitability for specific applications.
  • Water-Resistant Nature: Coir fiber is relatively waterproof, and its unique composition makes it one of the few natural fibers resistant to damage by saltwater. This water-resistant quality enhances its durability, making it a preferred choice for applications where exposure to moisture is a concern.
  • Versatile Applications: Coir Fiber finds applications in a range of industries, from agriculture to textiles. Its strength, flexibility, and water-resistant properties make it an ideal material for erosion control, geotextiles, mattresses, brushes, and various agricultural uses.

Choose Coir Fiber for a natural, eco-friendly solution that combines strength, versatility, and water-resistant qualities. Embrace the excellence of coir fiber in your applications, knowing that you are investing in a sustainable and resilient material that meets the highest standards.
