Coir is found in the outer fleshy shell of the coconut. To obtain the fiber, coir producers first soak the coconut shell water for six months. In doing so, all parts of the shell rot, leaving only the cellulose fibers. When dry, raw coir is washed, dried in the sun, combed, and rolled into bales.
When processing fibers into our products, baled and untreated coconut fibers are first combed on special machines and then mechanically interwoven. The intertwined fibers go through the press to form compact plates. To obtain the desired thickness of a pad, we bind the individual sheets together with a binder made of 100% natural latex milk.
