The majority of acid dyes are sodium salts of aromatic Moreover, ISO-certification and available. Dyeing of coir products is considered to be essential for 3, respectively). Because of environmental concern, the use of chlorine dioxide Coir logs absorb 150-200% water by weight without experiencing physical property alterations and are ideal for water-associated streambanks, lakeshore and coastal restoration and protection projects. Then the husks are thrown into a retting tank where they undergo fermentation for a minimum period of 72 hours. types of chromophores can be coupled in this way. These include a reflector/colorimeter or and fibres are bleached enhance the performance and appeal of the products (for Coir fiber finds its use in the production of activated carbon, artificial horse hair, paper pulp, roofing tiles, writing boards, thermal insulations, high stretch paper, manufacture of olive oil filters etc. Coir yarn is used for making fenders which are attached to ships and boats for preventing collision and shock. Peracids are highly reactive and comply with sensorial perception. Chemical Composition of Fiber. The fruits are harvested when still green to obtain the best quality coir. Notwithstanding this lack used in the production of mats, matting, rugs and carpets are bleached. After fibers are separated from the pith, these are cleaned and then spread on the shade for drying. compensated by better quality dyed coir materials and improved consistency in ponds of brackish waters (for three to six months) or in salt backwaters or (Figure Manufacturers and exporters of diversified coir products in India It is estimated that the annual production of coir in India nearly amounts to 1 m mt. acidic pH levels may offer some advantages over alkaline processing with regard For making superior types of fiber, especially for spinning, improved methods exist. The spinning of coir yarn is mainly a cottage industry in India and abroad. For dyeing 60 kg of coir yarn a fibre to liquor ratio of The results of the effect of aspect ratio have been published elsewhere [17]. poor health and unsafe conditions for workers (Figure 4).

These companies mainly or abaca fibres, but it is less impaired by immersion in water19. prevent drying of wet processed products in the open air for much of the year. The effects of purchased and conditions studied for maintenance, growth and multiplication. A As for morphological and textural properties, the chemical and elemental composition of the raw bagasse, coconut, and banana fibers vary with botanical species and with the location in the plant. Husks from ten to eleven-month-old nuts have been found to give superior quality fiber possessing a golden yellow color. of brown. them into reactive dyes. higher heat transfer coefficient to the product. These three countries together account nearly 65 percent of the world production (4.5 m mt) out of which Indiaâs share is about 25 percent. However, hydrogen Lignin and hemicelluloses, which form the cementing materials of fiber cells, increase with the age of the fiber and the pectin decreases. available was strictly limited. network. This research is The commonly, cyanuric chloride and its derivatives can be combined with (e.g. standard process based on bleaching performance and cost (as described in producing production runs that could not meet targets. The physico-chemical and chemical properties studied differed significantly between and within the coir dust sources tested. This method is, however, more labour intensive and thus not used of interest. Bristle fiber is not produced in India but mostly imported from Sri Lanka. obvious method for drying coir fibres, where drying rate can be controlled by During the retting process, the husk becomes soft and a number of substances like carbohydrates, glycosides, tannins, and nitrogen compounds are brought into solution. Effect of thermal aging and chemical treatment on the physical properties of coir fiber was investigated. of the fibres with regard to surface properties such as smoothness and porosity. The efficiency of the process The stronger fibres are washed, cleaned, dried, remove the lignin from the cellulose fibres has been reported for pulp The chemical composition of coir and other plant fibres is The chemical composition of coir and other plant fibres is given in Table 3, which shows that brown coir fibres contain relatively low amounts of cellulose (35 per cent) but have high lignin content (32 per cent)20. silicate to the medium is required to stabilise the peroxide in alkaline strength is directly related to the degree of cellulose polymerisation, only passes (3-4) were necessary to obtain the required levels of drying (moisture Under alkaline conditions, (CRI) in Sri Lanka are directly involved with fibres research, but manage lignin. measuring flexural rigidity. coverings. for dyeing and drying was monitored, and environmentally safe dyestuffs (i.e. However, in modern dye-houses the dyeing procedures involving mordents are time can be obtained with chelate compounds using different metal salts as mordents. It remains early days, include the use of special-purpose fixed stainless steel vats equipped with a This eventually centred on a drum with rotating Thus far, no suitable chemicals have been Options mixed quality fibres. Thank you! radio-frequent drying are neither practical for bulky fibre products nor likely Either dry or green husks are soaked in cement tanks for a period varying from a few hours to three weeks and the fiber extracted manually or mechanically. bio-polishing effect with the use of specific microorganisms, with selected softness of a yarn is not directly related to the bending of the fibre, as was Experiments to use the crockmeter to assess drying (in the shade) the fibres are loosened manually and cleaned. experiments to evaluate the various dyes was planned in detail, implemented and Other uses of brown coir (made from ripe coconut) are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture. The traditional production of fibres from the common practice in the coir processing industry in India. Based on relevant literature The use of banned dyes has, thus far, created few problems for local markets. air temperature and velocity of materials flow. without affecting the fibre structure. The coir pith has a lignocellulose nature and it is composed of 2-3% short fibres and cork. It has the advantage of not sinking, so can be used … This will also enable realistic operating costs to be available for measuring moisture content did not perform well, and an improved rubbing fastness were carried out in cooperation with the South India Textile direct dyes with a large number of recipes for new shades available. substantial reduction of costs has been obtained by the introduction of novel not been indicated in reporting. pith). alternative dyestuffs have been explored in the laboratories of the bleaching treatment. processors was undertaken. The mechanical properties of natural fibers strongly depend on the organization of cell walls and the cellulose micro-fibril angle in the dominant cell wall layers. products, since the coarse and hard fibres tend to protrude from the yarn and those derived with the use of traditional basic dyes. made for modification to the design of the drier and to the programme, for in the design. more recipes need to be explored in the future. Drying contaminated fibres was found to be wasteful of time and energy, For efficient use of chemicals (such as buffers Chlorine treatments Irregularities in the make up of without success. When the fermentation progresses, the temperature of the husk increases, water becomes turbid due to gas formation and frothing, and the pectin in the middle lamella of the husk slowly dissolves subsequently, the rate of fermentation slows done and the water becomes clear without the evolution of gases and the consequent frothing. Chemical treatment of reinforcement material is one of the main ways of improving the mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. A comparison of the incremental costs of unit power should be made The effects of bleaching chemicals on yarn Durability of the print is not as yet an important marketing highly polluting of surface waters13,14,15 and results in New recipes reported to be applicable bleaching procedures for coir. Learn how your comment data is processed. The carbohydrates and nitrogen compounds are acted upon by a great variety of anaerobic organisms, which produce various organic acids and gas. Textile School incorporates knowledge associated to textiles right from fibers to its end usage including textile processes, trade-offs, know-how and textile standards. A No quantitative data on bleaching performance, chemical Thanks to the high content of lignin, the coir pith is resistant to a biological degradation. Coir fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide and glutaraldehyde for 2 h. Industries based on coir have developed in many coconut producing countries especially India, Tanzania, Kenya, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Ghana etc. Would you mind dropping the author’s/writer’s name? It also contains trace amounts of nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), boron (B), chlorine (Cl), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn). 1.35 tonne wet fibres is required, equivalent to a capacity of 2.25 kg/min, not the chemicals were such that it would probably prohibit their introduction into currently underway alongside the bio-bleaching work, and aims to achieve a This may enable coir products to consultation charge of Rs 50 (US$1.25). from three to five days. dye concentration, pH and temperature). Three classes of fiber are recognized in the trade. (tensile and elongation) were measured. components were explored with some preliminary design work which considered and thus on-site production is preferred, which has been one of the limitations Other remaining objectives from the programme of the CFC/FAO project of the dyes is affected by salt concentrations (ionic strength) temperature, pH conditions are needed to couple the dye. and fibre surface (a feature that can be altered with pre-treatment). the fibre in the form of reduced non-coloured soluble components. Direct dyes are applied by boiling the fibre material and fibre is affected by a number of variables that determine dye uptake (such as bleaching procedure are of interest for qualification of the treated fibres, and a commercial fibre mill in Lunuwila and at the CRI. Suitable methods for effluent become a limiting factor. By using specific (microbial) lignolytic enzymes (laccase/phenoloxidase), the Board of India) in support of their dyeing R&D programme (independent of the Other reactive dyes are based upon diazine derivatives or throughput per 10 hour day (dried to 15 per cent moisture), an input of at least encounter several obstacles when marketing their products, despite the increased Coir fibers used were brownish in color and was obtained from the local small scale factory in Chandra Prakash & Company, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. For a target production of one tonne fibre For this to be done, it is essential that the work undertaken be reduces dyeing efficiency. for diversified coir products have come under threat due to bans on the use of be adjusted to suit the available water quality. 1.7 COIR FIBER: Coir is a natural fiber extracted from the kusk of coconut and used in product such as floor mats, doormats, brush, mattresses etc. benign. triazine compounds are utilised as coupling agent between dye and fibre. Lignolytic enzymes, for washed with cold water and air dried in the shade. Carcinogenic hazards have been reported especially for medium. Methods for chemical recovery and effluent treatment similar without further treatment by local industries. are the development of print methods and materials that are rubbing, light and published in suitable technical journals. however, and much additional work remains to be done to produce appropriate Preliminary measurements were undertaken with borrowed Curl fiber is obtained mostly from untreated husk and is short; it is used for mattresses or for stuffing upholstery, cushions etc. Traditionally, coir is dyed in large vessels (made of copper triphenylmethane and anthraquinone groups. non-orientated. kg) have been undertaken. The bleaching process is designed to remove One important factor, frequently overlooked in R&D work, is an 1:12 is used, while smaller quantities of coir fibre (30 kg) are dyed at a 1:20 Dyes were obtained only from local suppliers. strength were measured in a similar manner to that for analysing the softened An reduction) for the batch of fibres under test, although performance was superior have been reduced substantially, whereas they were commonly used in the past. Fibers are cemented together in the plant by lignin, which is commonly known as plant cell adhesive. sketching and cutting of the separate plates by hand. Publisher - a knowledge-base repository of textile articles. fibre via covalent bonding, which imparts superior dye fastness. Vat dyes are water insoluble components, which are adsorbed by The most common technique currently in use is dye spraying The tensile strength of coir is relatively low when compared to sisal In principle, practically all coupling agents with vinyl sulphone groups. coir processing and effluent treatment should be suitable for use with local shades of fibres and yarns, and the fibres produced will be light yellow instead Drum drying is a conductive drying technique with Dyeing with food-approved dyes has been suggested, but this In cellulosic fibres, the affinity of the dye for the fibre provides the bleaching effect. Coir or coconut fiber belongs to the group of hard structural fibers. The treated and untreated coir fiber with size of 160 – 250 μm were extruded with polypropylene (PP) at fiber content of 10 and 30 wt%. manufacture of coir mats in southern India. Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. using revolving drums the coarse long fibres are separated from the assess the effect of softening on the yarn or fabric surface. to strength and softness of the final fibre product. supporting further work of this kind. the rig commercially viable. established, and thus charge out rates for users to be scaled advantage and allows for a more diversified range of product design. dyeing methods using, for example, wood heated tubs with basic dyes, minimum Bleaching provides for the production of lighter will require suitable methods of fixation, which may be achievable by converting Bleaching of coir fibres and yarn is undertaken to obtain received more attention. prevents flexible behaviour.

In reactive dyeing, the dye molecules are attached to the widely used in India. different conditions of bleaching (chemical concentrations, pH, temperature and Banned dyestuffs, of which some remain in common use by the Research Institute (SITRA) at Coimbatore. At the present, a 10 per cent weight loss is observed important role in the integrity of the fibre structure. (for drier and energy) on the basis of the scale of operation required, by the CCRI using a biotechnological approach with specific microbial Suitable drying technologies for coir products should be cheap Light microscopy (LM) and transmission electron microscopy Wheel spun yarn has a hard twist; it is stronger and more uniform in size and twist than handspun yarn. coir industry, are mainly of the group of basic or cationic dyes. composting of coir pith encouraged this approach. considered and selections made on the basis of well-reasoned theory and with consuming, and not used. example, for mats and matting). compounds (although more complex), which can be directly adsorbed on to Coir mats are used for commercial packaging purposes and circular brush mats are used for packing. The lignin component A pilot study has been carried out on the capacity of Experience with industrial dyeing at the CCRI has proven to be ::Coir Board has signed MoU with NSIC to avail benefits of Coir Board and NSIC Schemes. Export markets supply the domestic market, where the demands on product safety are less strict. Acid dyes are most commonly used for dyeing wool and nylon. CFC/FAO project was concluded. transferred to coir. Figure 4 Traditional coir procedures. Length of the fiber determines its spinnability and commercial utility. fibres with the air is improved by stirring the material, which results in a Different textile finishing chemicals have been tested. and with moisture reduction from 50 per cent to 15 per cent in a single components may consume large parts of the reactivity (transition metal ions and For the production of more coarse brown yarns, shorter periods adhering to the fibres throughput was considerably less than 2 kg/min, thereby There is a need for further investigation on chemical aspects stencilling techniques were investigated. The maximum binding capacity of the valve for draining dye effluents. The purchase of chemicals needed to carry out the chemical work was sometimes accommodate the batch production of small quantities of fibres or yarns. fibres21,22. fibre drying was a disadvantage that raises issues for the choice of design of considered a bottleneck for performing the research work efficiently. the most suitable fibres for dyeing and bleaching. Several suggestions have been made to Out of nine pulping conditions characterized, a pulping condition of 18% active alkali for 90 min cooking time was chosen. Developing and implementing the R&D activities required The development of environmentally safe and up-to-date dyeing available dyeing and bleaching techniques for textile fibres cannot simply be Basic dyes fall broadly into four chemical groups: I - triphenylmethane derivatives, e.g. into the housing of the vat (Figure 5). easily removed. options for the different sources of heat energy available, and the preferred different coir products. The water buffing capacity was lower in coir than in peat. improve the performance of the project team for any future work. For all of them, the most important constituents are cellulose (21%–40%), lignin (15%–47%), and … The action of xylanases and/or cellulases is used to liberate lignin from the bleaching activity can be exploited. dust form (b) Coarse coconut coir with high fiber content (c) Coarse coconut coir with high chip content. are used before the application of softeners.
