What is Coir?


image Coir Pith Fibre
is found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Fibres are typically 10 to 30 centimetres (4 to 12 in) long. There are two varieties of coir. Brown coir is harvested from fully ripened coconuts. It is thick, strong and has high abrasion resistance. It is typically used in mats, brushes, sacking and agriculture

 

Coir Applications

Coir Applications

Brown coir is used in floor mats and doormats, brushes, mattresses, floor tiles and sacking. A small amount is also made into twine. Pads of curled brown coir fibre are also shaped and cut to fill mattresses and for use in erosion control on river banks and hillsides. A major proportion of brown coir pads are sprayed with rubber latex which bonds the fibres together (rubberised coir) to be used as upholstery padding for the automobile industry in Europe. The material is also used for insulation and packaging. Read More..
