Coco bristle is the longest variety of coir fibre. It is manufactured from retted coconut
husks through a process called defibering. The coir fibre thus extracted is then combed using steel combs to make the fibre clean and to remove short fibres. The immature husks are kept in a
water-filled pit for six months. During this time, micro organisms break down the plant tissues surrounding the fibres and loosen them - a process known as retting. Then long fibres are separated
by milling process and subsequently dried and cleaned. Bristle coir fibre is used as bristles in brushes for domestic and industrial applications.
