Coir (coconut fiber)
usage has become very common among professionals
in various industries due to its versatility.
Due to its high water holding capacity and
the ability to wet easily without wetting
agents, coir dust became more popular than
peat moss. This popularity has created a high
demand for coir dust. High strength retention
or slow rate of degradable of coir products
in field applications fulfills the design
expectations in these types of bioengineering
designs.
