It is free from any admixtured heavy metals.  It is a mixture of corky cellular material and short fibers and has both the appearance and feel of peat moss.

Coir pith has remarkable capacity to absorb moisture. Its high water holding capacity is equalled to sphagnum peat and the drainage is similar to that of peat.  Coir pith is natural renewable resource and slow to decompose more slowly than peat. And it has excellent wet ability superior to peat.

   Coir pith is dried and screened for removal of foreign matter. The coir pith is then mixed with  binding agent and is compressed into blocks in the block making machine.  The blocks are than packed in moisture proof bags, so that the product does not get wet and disintegrated during transit. The coir pith blocks are weighing 650 gram & 5 kg blocks.
