        THE NATURAL GOLDEN FIBRE
       
          Coconut trees are grown in all part of the country, all the parts of tree are useful providing food, fuel, timber, by-products and the raw material for numerous handicrafts and  Industries. One of the major raw material used is coir fibre. It  is extrated from the fibrous of covering of coconut. It is natural, bio-degradable and environment friendly. It is tough and durable, versatile and resilient, resistant to flame and fungi, provides insulation and helps sound modulation.
       
              Coir pith is the dust after extracting coir fibre. Hygroscopic in nature, it is a good soil conditioner and a substitute for 'peat moss' in horticulture. It is converted into organic manure for soil improvement and higher yield.
       
              From the humble husk, an export, employment oriented coir industry emerged in Tamil Nadu for 'peat moss' and soil conservation.
           
          Rubberised coir products
              Extracted from the coconut's protective husk, coir fibre enjoys the unique properties of being the longest, natural fibre as well as the strongest in terms of twist resistance. Of the country's oldest exports, coir fibre is a by-product of one of South India's major plantation crops. It falls into two main categories: brown and white fibre, with approximately 80% and 20% respectively, of the world's coir fibre demand, supplied by India.

          The supply of coir fibre and fibre-based products has been a widespread cottage industry in India for centuries. The tradition continues to this day, with a signifiocessed, though modem machinery and methods are being introduced for large-scale commercial production to keep up with the increasing demand.

          White fibre is obtained from green coconut husks immersed in water for 6 - 9 months. A mechanized process of extraction has been adopted recently, yet the traditional manual operation remains predominant - the latter resulting in a product of higher tensile strength and evenness of twist which has a greater demand.

          Yarn spun from white fibre is extremely fine and soft-textured, with superior colour absorbency, and commands a higher price. Our Company's exports comprise both the yarn and finished products such as rope,carpets, matting, brush mats, rubberised coir mat, rugs, wall hangings, coir brushes, etc

          Brown fibre product is derived from seasoned, coconut husks immersed in water for about 4 - 6 weeks prior to fibre extraction, of about 6 - 10 days in the case of pre-crushed husks. Extraction is effected through the traditional "Indian drum" process which separates long, coarse "bristle" fibre from shorter "mattress fibre" - usually in a ratio of 2 : 1. Bristle fibre, which is more valuable, is cut into various sizes and subjected to softening and dyeing in accordance with customer requirements. It is used primarily in the manufacture of brushes. Mattress fibre, as the name suggests, is in baled form for use as stuffing material in mattresses, upholstery and car seats, and for the manufacture of rubberised coir pads, insulation, etc.
           
          The more important fibre products exported are a wide range of brushes, rubberized coir, matting, rope and packaging material.
           
           
          The future holds more in store for this versatile raw material. This material is subjected to stringent quality control measures designed to maintain standards suitable for export markets, with the bulk of exports being directed to industrialized countries.
