Coir Fibre

Coir is a versatile natural fibre extracted from husk of the coconut fruit. Also called ‘The Golden Fibre’, the fibers are naturally strong & resistant to natural elements like sun, rain, salt water etc.

The processes of fibre extraction are varied, and depend on the effectiveness of the wet processing such as bleaching and dyeing of coir and also varied end uses.

Coir fiber is the natural fiber extracted from the husk of the coconut. The coir fiber is the thickest and most resistant of all commercial natural fibers. Low decomposition rate is the key advantage for making durable products. Early century ropes made from coir fiber have been discovered. The coir fiber’s high strength is the main reason for the rope production for centuries.

Coir Fiber - Brown is extracted out of matured brown coconut. It is used for various applications like making Curled Coir Rope used in manufacturing coir mattresses, rubberized coir pads, coir cushions, carpet under lays, seat cushions and for insulating drainage pipes. Brown coir pads are sprayed with rubber latex, which bonds the fibres together (rubberized coir) and is extensively used as upholstery padding for the automobile industry. Coir Fiber - Brown is also used for insulation and packaging

Coir Fiber - White is made out of immature green coconut husk. Coir Fiber - White is used for various applications like making two ply yarn used in manufacturing various coir products such as carpets. The major use of white coir is in rope manufacture. Mats of woven coir fiber are made from the finer grades of bristle and white fiber using hand or mechanical looms. White coir also used to make fishing nets due to its strong resilience to salt water. Coir Fiber - Yellow is generally spun to make yarn that is used in mats or rope
