Coir Needled Felt

Product Details

Coir needled felt geo-textile are non-woven fabric made out of 100% coir fiber. The fabric is composed of coir fiber randomly needle punched to the desired degree of compaction.

The needled felts have excellent moisture absorption and retention characteristics and form an ideal medium for plant growth. The fiber is mechanically bonded or interlocked to form a continuous length of sheet. No bonding material is used in the manufacture process.

It can be manufactured in thickness ranging from 10 mm to 15 mm with a density varying from 500 to 1500 g/sq.m. Felt is used as semi-permeable membrane to retain the coir pith and to give volume to the ready made coir Eco lawn. It helps in creating a micro climate, which enhances plant development.

In the construction of embankment, coir needled felts acts as separator, filter, and filter reinforcement and facilitates drainage. Features of coir needled felts are non-woven fabric with interlocked fiber Resilient product of porous structure Low thermal conductivity coupled with good sound absorption co-efficient Light material, easy handling and application economical cost product made of natural fiber.

Environmental Benefit

Coir is a material which is widely used to overcome the problem of erosion. When non woven into geo-textiles and placed on areas in need of erosion control it promotes new vegetation by absorbing water and preventing top soil from drying out. Coir geo-textiles have a natural ability to retain moisture and protect from the suns radiation just like natural soil, and unlike geo-synthetic materials, it provides good soil support for up to three years, allowing natural vegetation to become established.
