Coconut Fiber/Coir 椰棕

Coconut fiber or coir is natural fiber taken from by product of coconut husk then cleaned and compressed into bales. Coconut fiber belongs to the category fibers/fibrous materials, 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 fibers have high lignin content and thus 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 dry, the fiber is graded into "bristle" fiber (combed, approx. 20 - 40 cm long) and "mattress" fiber (random fibers, approx. 2 - 10 cm long).

椰棕是从椰子外壳提取出来的丝状物质, 经过生产工艺干净后压缩成捆,绝无添加防腐剂和调制颜色。在经过先进生产工艺处理，使之杂质更少，水分底、纤维粗且长、颜色金黄略带微红. 其是一种无公害，绿色环保的纯天然产品、是做床棕垫、座垫、棕绳、环保花篮等工艺品的最佳选材。挑选再好的纯天燃椰子果提取，颜色鲜艳品质一等。其可以单独使用也可以根据需要与其他材料混合使用。
