Contact SupplierCoir is a fibrous layer that surrounds the hard shell of the coconut. Coir pith is a by-product collected during the process of coir fiber extraction from coconut husk. While extracting the fiber, large quantity of dust material will be generated and it is called as Coir Pith.
Coir pith is also known as Coco Peat, Coir Fiber Pith or Coir Dust. The coir pith undergoes cleansing process like sieving to remove the foreign particles and larger fibers, squeezing to remove excess moisture and then drying the fibers. The raw composted coir pith will be treated under high pressure and compressed into various sized blocks, bricks/briquettes and bag slabs/grow bags.
