Coconut Fiber

Coconut Husk  used to be considered as a waste product and the farmers
just leave it in the plantations. Today,  it is a source of income for them.

Celebes,  seeing the opportunity,  put up its coconut coir factory to extract
the fiber.  The plant is equipped with tubs for soaking the husk,  machines
that separates the coconut husk from the shell, and a machine to process
the husk into fiber.

Coconut husks are made of  bristle fiber (10%),  mattress  fiber (20%) and
coir  dust  and  shorts  or  wastes (70%).  The  abundance of  fiber makes
it a good, stable supply for industries that make brushes, rugs,  doormats,
carpets, bags, ropes, yarn fishing nets, and mattresses, etc.

Coconut fiber  is natural  fiber taken from by product of coconut husk then
cleaned and compressed into bale. Coconut fiber belongs to the category
fibers / fibrous materials.  Coconut  fiber 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 from
the dried out  sieve cells.  Coconut fiber is the only fruit fiber usable in the
textile industry.

Coconut Peat

Coconut  Peat  or often  called as  Cocopeat has a high lignin  (31%)  and
cellulose  (27%)  content  and a  carbon-nitrogen (C/N) ratio of  104: 1.   It
also has a very  high water  holding capacity of  5 to 6  times  its weight.  It
should be noted  that  Coconut Peat is stable because of the  presence of
high percentage of  lignin.  Thus,  the peat left to  itself  takes  decades to
decompose. The composted peat is used along with  organic supplements
in  crop  fields in  horticulture  and  floriculture.  It  is  also used  as rooting
and growing medium for certain ornamental flowering plants. Decomposed
coconut peat  is also used as  hydroponics systems for growing roses and
vegetables  under  controlled  conditions.  The  coconut  peat  in sterilized
condition finds use in mushroom cultivation and  floriculture. It is also used
as an alternative for 'Peat Moss'

Coconut Peat has a calorific value of 3975 k cal/kg, close to 4200 k cal/kg
of coal. It is also used as fuel briquettes with ash content 1/10th of coal
