COIR MAT
Coir Mat
A coir mat or coir geotextile is a woven or non-woven fabric made from coir fibers extracted from the outer shell of coconuts. It is biodegradable, eco-friendly, and provides temporary soil reinforcement until vegetation grows.
A coir mat is a natural fiber mat made from coconut husk fibers (coir). These mats are widely used in erosion control, landscaping, and civil engineering — especially in soil stabilization, slope protection, and road construction.
Types of coir mat
Woven Coir Mat (Coir Geotextile):
- Made by weaving coir yarns in specific patterns.
- Comes in different densities (e.g., 400 GSM, 700 GSM, 900 GSM).
- Used for slope stabilization and erosion control.
Non-Woven Coir Mat (Needle Felt):
- Made by felting or stitching coir fibers together.
- Used for cushioning, soil protection, and filtration.
APPLICATIONS
- Erosion control: Prevents soil erosion on slopes, riverbanks, and embankments.
- Slope stabilization: Holds soil in place until plants take root.
- Road construction: Used beneath pavements to separate soil layers and improve drainage.
- Landscaping & horticulture: Acts as mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
- Riverbank & shoreline protection: Reduces washout and promotes vegetation growth.
