Brown fibre is obtained by harvesting fully mature coconuts when the nutritious layer. The Brown fibrous husks are soaked in pits or in nets in a slow moving body of water to swell and soften the fibres. The long bristle fibres are separated from the shorter mattress fibres underneath the skin of the nut, a process known as wet-milling.
The Brown fibre is allowed to retain more moisture.
Retains its elasticity for ‘twisted’ fibre production.
The coir fibre is elastic enough to twist without breaking and it holds a curl as though permanently waved.
Brown coir is used in brushes, doormats, mattresses and sacking. A small amount is also made into twine.
The mattress fibres are sifted to remove dirt and other rubbish, dried and packed into bales.
