COIRSORB

Introduction

Superabsorbent materials are becoming increasingly important in a number of applications such as horticulture. A bio-mass of coir fibre has been mixed and treated suitably with a eco-friendly and water absorbing powder such that the absorbency of the composition can be controlled between 300% and 1200% of the parent weight of fibre mass. The developed process is very simple, does not involve any effluent and is eco-friendly as well. Once absorbed the water is retained very efficiently in the system for a very long time (weeks).
