Coconut Coir Fiber is obtained from the fibrous husk of the coconut 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. 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 day, fiber is graded into "Bristle" fiber (combed, approx. 25-50 cm long ) and "mattress" fiber (random fibers, approx. 10-32 cm long).
