NATURAL ORGANIC TREATED COCONUT HUSK , 400 Grm
The coconut husk is composed of 30% fiber and 70% pith, with high lignin and phenolic content (Panyakaew and Fotios, 2011). Due to the high lignin content, coconut fiber is very elastic, durable, and resistant to rotting.
What is the husk of a coconut?✅️
Coconut husks are the rough exterior shells of the coconut.

What are the properties of coconut husk?✅️ Compared to other typical natural fibers, coconut fiber has higher lignin and lower cellulose and hemicellulose, together with its high microfibrillar angle, offers various valuable properties, such as resilience, strength, and damping, wear, resistance to weathering, and high elongation at break.
