Coconut fiber is obtained from the fibrous husk (mesocarp) of the coconut (Cocos nucifera) from the coconut palm, which belongs to the palm family (Palmae).
Coconut fiber has a high lignin content and thus a low cellulose content, as a result of which it is resilient, strong and highly durable. The remarkable lightness of the fibers is due to the cavities arising from the dried out sieve cells.site
Coconut fiber is the only fruit fiber usable in the textile industry. Coir is obtained by retting for up to 10 months in water followed by sun-drying. Once dry, the fiber is graded into bristle fiber (combed, approx. 20- 40 cm long) and mattress fiber (random fibers, approx. 2 10 cm long).
Coconut fiber is 100% natural. We carefully process it in different presentations so you can use it in multiple applications.
Our product consists of the husk of the green young coconut. Once the husk is removed from the seed (coconut), it can be ground, sifted, chipped, and dried into multiple presentations.
Cocopeat is a multi purpose growing medium made out of coconut husk. The fibrous coconut husk is pre washed, machine dried, sieved and made free from sand and other contaminations such as animal and plant residue. Cocopeat is a very good alternative to traditional peat moss and Rock wool. Its air filled porosity and high water holding capacity makes it, an ideal growing medium for the plant crops. It is 100% organic and eco friendly, free from soil borne pathogen and weed. It has a pH of 5.7 -6.5 ,EC level <1 mS/cm is ideal for plant growth.
