Coco Peat
WHAT IS COIR
FIBER PITH (DUST)

Coco peat also known
as 'coir fiber pith"' or 'coir dust'
is a natural, and renewable resource
produced from coconut husks by the
coconut industries in Sri Lanka, India
& Indonesia.
Coco peat is the
'coir fiber pith' or 'coir dust'
produced as a bi-product when coconut
husks are processed for the extraction
of the long fibers from the husk.
Coco peat is the binding material that
comes from the fiber fraction of the
coconut husk.
The coir dust is
washed, heat treated, screened and
graded before being processed into
various Coco peat products for
Horticultural and Agricultural
applications. Coco peat was first
introduced into English horticulture
as a growing medium more than 135
years ago.

Coco peat is a
multi-purpose soil conditioner and
growing medium. It is consistent and
uniform in texture. It is a completely
homogenous material composed of
millions of capillary micro-sponges,
that absorb and hold up to eight times
it's own weight in water. The natural
pH of 5.7 to 6.5, plus an unusually
high Caption Exchange Capacity - and
27% of Easily Available Water assures
that coir will hold and release
nutrients in solution over extended
periods without rewatering
Coco peat has long
been used in the making of rugs, and
weaving into landscape erosion control
mats.
Coir fiber is an excellent potting
medium for starting seeds and
potting plants. A by-product of the
coconut harvest, coir fiber is a
renewable resource. It holds 10
times its weight in water and does
not shed water like peat moss. Coco
Pith holds and releases nutrients
over extended periods, providing
excellent oxygenation.
 The
blocks are convenient to store
because of compression. To use,
simply soak with five quarts of
water per brick for 10 minutes or
so. Each brick yields approximately
1/3 cubic feet of fluffy, organic
potting medium.
You can break the contents up in any
size pieces you want and use them in
what ever quantity you need.
Coco peat is the effective way to
clean up oil and other liquid spills.
- Environmentally friendly
material
- Will absorb up to 9 times its
own weight.
- Cocosorb is 100% organic , easy
to use and dispose of.
- Use to clean up fuel, oil,
hydraulic fluid, coolants, solvents,
grease, ink, paint and many other
hazardous liquids.
- Available in bulk and retail
packaging.
Coco Peat Production
Process

Dust from coconut fiber production
will be washed, dried, and press into
size
30x30x12 cm
Weight = 5
kilograms
Other Function of
Coco Peat
-
Coco peat briquettes are use for
Potting mixes and soil conditioning
-
The Coco peat can
be used as a mulching agent to mix
with Coco Peat, Peat Moss etc. They
generate more air porosity for the
plants to grow freely

Coco peat In Potting Mix

Coco peat many use as plant medias for
the green house and organic plant.
Because in character capable to
storage water equal to 8-9x from dry
weight hence this coco peat is very
good for plant media / media growing.
Because the ability of that hence,
root of plant that using this coco
peat media plant will be more fertile
and the end result of fruit will
nicer. Plants which in character need
very good dampness adapt with this
coco peat. This coco peat also have
characteristic that can hold up to
crop pest so that don’t need
pesticide. Crop pest dislike with coco
peat. Besides because energy of
storage big water hence having an
effect on also at usage of more
economical manure.
PRODUCTION CAPACITY:
