Contact SupplierCoconut Shell Powder that we offer is prepared using excellent quality coconut shells, which are organic in nature. Since it has good characteristics of high toughness and abrasion resistance, it is suitable for long standing use. The shell is similar to hard woods in chemical composition though lignin content is higher and cellulose content is lower. In order to prepare Coconut Shell Powder, the shells of fully matured nuts are first cleaned of the adhering pithy matter and broken down into small pieces. These pieces are then subjected to repeat grinding in grinding mills and the ground mass, after passing through cyclones and vibratory sieves fitted with phosphor-bronze mesh, are finally drawn out in different mesh sizes. Coconut Shell Powder that we offer has shelf life of two years from the date of production, if stored under ideal storage conditions (low moisture storage area) in the original sealed bag.
