Properties
Since it has good durability characteristics, high toughness and
abrasion resistant properties, it is suitable for long standing
use. The shell is similar to hard woods in chemical composition,
though lignin content is higher & cellulose content is
lower.
Coconut Shell Powder is preferred to other alternate materials
available in the MARKET such as bark powder, furfural and peanut
shell powder because of its uniformity in quality and chemical
composition, better properties in respect of water absorption and
resistance to fungal attack.
