Cocofiber

Product details

COCOFIBER Cocofiber, also known as coconut fiber, is a natural fiber extracted from the outer husk of coconuts. It is a versatile material that is used in a variety of applications, including as a soil conditioner, erosion control material, and as a component in the manufacturing of mattresses, furniture, and other products. Cocofiber is a sustainable and eco-friendly material, as it is derived from a renewable resource and is biodegradable. Its high tensile strength, durability, and resistance to rot and moisture make it a popular choice in many industries. How cocofiber is made 1. Harvesting: Mature coconuts are harvested from the coconut palms and left to dry for a few weeks. 2. Decorticating: Once the coconuts are sufficiently dried, the outer husk is removed using a machine called a decorticator. 3. Retting: The husks are then soaked in water for several months to allow the fibers to loosen and soften. 4. Cleaning: After retting, the fibers are washed to remove any impurities and then dried in the sun. 5. Hackling: The dried fibers are then combed to remove any remaining debris and to separate the long fibers from the shorter ones. 6. Baling: The fibers are then baled and packed for transportation.
