The fibrous husks are soaked in pits or in nets in a slow moving body of water to swell and soften the fibers. After soaking, the fibrous husks then processed into a decorticator machine to crush them again until all of the husk separated became loose fibers. The fibers are shifted by a screener machine to remove coir dust and other foreign matter, then dried with sun drying and pressed into bales.
Coir fiber is used in floor mats and doormats, automobile dashboard, brushes, mattresses, and for use in erosion control on river banks and hillsides as geotextile. Coir Fiber pads are also sprayed with rubber latex which bonds the fibers together (rubberized coir) to be used as upholstery padding for the automobile industry in Europe. The material is also used for insulation and packaging.
