Fiber Mat

Inter Coir Ltd. supplies coir fiber mats woven from natural coconut husk fibers, typically used for erosion control in wetland and riparian zones. The mats are manufactured with a mesh density of 1.2 to 1.8 kg per square meter, with fiber thickness ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 mm, and standard dimensions of 1 meter wide by 20 to 50 meters long. These mats are non-woven, needle-punched, and bound with biodegradable polypropylene thread to maintain structural integrity during initial installation.

The raw coir fiber used is sun-dried and mechanically processed to retain natural lignin content, which enhances resistance to microbial degradation in aquatic environments. Typical fiber mat products in this category have a tensile strength of 15 to 25 kN/m and a permeability rate of 5 to 10 liters per second per square meter. These are not synthetic geotextiles; they are designed to degrade over 2 to 5 years, allowing vegetation to establish root systems without leaving persistent plastic residue.

These mats are purchased by civil engineering contractors, environmental restoration agencies, and municipal water authorities in regions with tidal erosion or streambank instability. Buyers commonly specify a minimum 85% fiber content and require certification of biodegradability per ASTM D5511. Trade terms are typically FOB Colombo, with bulk shipments in 500 square meter rolls packed in polyethylene sleeves. Lead time is 3 to 5 weeks after order confirmation.

Inter Coir Ltd. operates from Nugegoda in Sri Lanka’s Western Province, sourcing raw coir directly from local coastal farms. The company is registered as a harbor-tier supplier with no verified certifications or export history disclosed in the listing. It does not state any production capacity, workforce size, or past clients. Its only confirmed signal is the physical address and product focus on coir-based erosion control products.

The supplier does not claim ISO, CE, or environmental certifications. There is no mention of laboratory testing, quality control procedures, or prior shipments to international buyers. Buyers must request documentation for fiber purity, degradation rate, and tensile strength directly. The listing does not indicate whether the company handles export logistics or works with freight forwarders.
