The same durability that made coir rope a popular material for fishing nets hundreds of years ago is still valuable in our day. Coir fiber is used for a broad array of products, due to its impressive strength. ... Although coconuts are enjoyed as food, the valuable fibers that could be used in coir rope are wasted too often. ... Gardeners can take advantage of its remarkable durability to protect their lawns ... Coir fiber has the tendency to stand up against scratches and odors, making it ideal for use in automobiles. 2, record 1, English, - coconut%20fiber%20rope

Coco. Origine végétale. Fibre provenant du cocotier. Elle est retirée de l'enveloppe du fruit puis traitée. La fibre obtenue est tenace, grossière et raide. Utilisée pour la fabrication de tapis et en corderie. Cette fibre se distingue des autres de part sa teneur élevée en lignine (40 %), ce qui explique sa raideur. Pouvant atteindre 30 cm de longueur, elle a un diamètre moyen de 0,3 mm. La fibre de coco ou «coir» est la seule fibre textile extraite de fruits. Elle n'absorbe presque pas de poussière et se nettoie pour ainsi dire elle-même. 2, record 3, French, - fibre%20de%20coco
