Coco Coir Fiber

Specifications

Coir Fibre: It’s a natural fibre extracted from the husk of coconut used in products as floor mats, door mats, and brushes. Technically coir is the fibrous material found in between the hard internal shell and the outer coat of coconut.
There are two types of Coir Fibre.
1. White Fibre:
White Coir is extracted from young coconut which is why it is white. The white fiber is fine hence it is used to woven mats, sacks & twine.
2. Brown Fibre:
Brown Coir is extracted from ripe coconut which is why it is more solid and firm. It is usually used to prepare tough door mats and coir mattress.
Characteristics & Uses: Coconut husk is strong, durable and elastic. And also it is easy to be cleaned as well. So the coir can easily be twisted as per our desire. Hence it is used to make ropes, door mats, rugs and other house hold items. And also the coir can be dyed, but it has the tendency of getting back to its natural shade when it is directly exposed to sunlight. Maintenance of coir is very easy and also when it gets dirty it doesn’t show. Coir is one of the fabrics that are resistant of bacteria and fungus. It has an ability to spring back to the original shape even after using it regularly. Cleaning the coir is easy and simple. So with very less maintenance coir is the first preference to make floor mats, door mats, rugs, ropes, and mattress. Coir fibre is relatively waterproof and that is resistant to damage by salt water. Fresh water is used to process brown coir and sea water and fresh water both are used to process white coir.
