Coconut fiber
Coir, or coconut fibre, is a natural fibre extracted from the outer husk of coconut and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes and mattresses. Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Mats and ropes are the two products that are created from coconut fibre. Coir, which is the fibrous layer between both the hard-inner shell and the outer layer of a coconut, from which the mats and ropes are manufactured. Excellent for aerating roots, coconut fiber is an unprocessed string that's commonly used for mulching and decorative purposes. Also deployed as mulch, coco chips consist of roughly chopped down coconut husk, providing both water retention and aeration benefits. Coir – the Natural Fiber from Coconut Husk. Coir coconut fiber is a natural cellulose fiber which is obtained from coconut husk. It is the fibrous material that is found between the outer coat of a coconut and the hard internal shell. Copra is the dried coconut kernels from which coconut oil is obtained. There are two types of coir: the more commonly used brown fibre, which is obtained from mature coconuts, and finer white fibre, which is extracted from immature green coconuts after soaking for up to 10 months. Coir is made from the fiber found between the husk and the outer shell of coconuts. It is a relatively new growing medium that is becoming popular throughout the world in growing mixes and as a substrate for hydroponics. Coconut fibers have the highest toughness among all known natural fibers, and are capable of taking 4–6 times more strain than other fibers
