COIR is a versatile natural fibre extracted from the fibrous mesocarp of coconuts.

The fibrous layer of the fruit is separated from the hard shell by the process called

“Defibering” or “Dehusking". These fibers are cleaned to separate long and short fiber, which

are then packed into bales accordingly.

The Wonders of Coir

• The coir fiber is the thickest and most resistant of all commercial natural fiber.
• Low decomposition rate is the key advantage for making durable products.
• Coir fiber absorb water to a much lower extent as compared to most other natural fiber due to their much lower composition of cellulose content.
• Coir fiber is waterproof and the only natural fiber resistant to damage by seawater, which is beneficial for making fishing nets.
• Coir can withstand exposure to all kinds of weather, making it a practical fibre for outdoor use.
• Coir fiber is also used as construction material because of its superior physical and chemical properties.
• Geotextiles made from coir mesh are durable, absorb water, resist sunlight preventing top soil from drying out, facilitate seed germination, and are 100% biodegradable.
• Coir fiber is now-a-days used for grow poles because the high moisture retention capacity of the pole enables the roots of the plant to grip natural organic mattress of coir fibre. These poles are extensively used in nurseries, horticulture & greenhouse farming; and indoor and outdoor horticulture décor.

Coir fiber has many other beneficial characteristics:

• Biodegradable and Eco-friendly,
• Moth-proof; resistant to fungi and rot,
• Provides excellent insulation against temperature and sound,
• Good low cost adsorbent substitute,
• Resistant to thermal conductivity,
• High toughness, ductility and durability,
• Capable of taking strain, four times more, than other fibres,
• Resilient; springs back to shape even after constant use,
• Renewable
