coir fibre coir yarn

coir fibre

Different varieties of coir yarn are used for geotextile manufacturing.
Yarn is made out of fibre extracted from coconut husk.

BROWN FIBRE
Fibre mechanically extracted from dry mature coconut husk after soaking.
Brown mattress fibre is generally a low quality fibre containing lots of impurities (pith-husk skin) - short life-
Except bristol fibre: long, hard and strong fibre but with lower softness, lower water absorption capacity, and shorter life than long retted fibre.

UNRETTED GREEN FIBRE
Is extracted from green coconut husk after soaking.
Because of no retting, this white fibre is damaged during extraction and large quantity of pectin and acid are present despite the fact that the fibre is immersed in water for 1 month after extraction.The strength of the fibre is often lower than brown fibre.

RETTED FIBRE the must
Also called white fibre is extracted from green coconut husk after retting in flowing, circulating or changed water (lagoon-river) for a period of minimum three months (vycome retted fibre "3 to 6 months" - aratory "4 to 6 months" - anjengo and parur "6 to12 months").The retting will help the fibre to be extracted easily and without damage (hand or machinery). The original strength and length of the fibre will be preserved.
Long retting will withdraw much acid and pectin, which can cause oxidation and shorter life of the fibre.The lignin and the cellulose will be reinforced. The yarn made out of long retted fibre will be softer (better to follow the unevenness of the ground), will have water power absorption increased (better water redistribution and thermal isolation), higher breaking strength power,better elongation capacity, and superior longevity. Long retted fibre is the must for good quality yarn.

Length of fibre cm: long: over 15 - medium: 10 to 15 - short: 5 to 10.

WITH THE SAME QUALITY FIBRE, SOFT TWISTING WILL MAKE SOFTER YARN (better to follow the unevenness of the ground) BUT WITH LESS BREAKING STRENGTH AND WATER VELOCITY RESISTANCE THAN HARD TWISTING.

WHEEL SPUN HARD TWIST YARN HAVE BETTER FLEXIBILITY, AND BETTER HAIRY SYSTEM (even with long fibre) TO RETAIN THE FINE SOIL`S PARTICLE AND THE SEED THAN MACHINERY SPUN HARD TWIST YARN.
