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
