Coir, or coconut fibre, is a natural fibre extracted from the outer husk of coconut and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes and mattresses. Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Other uses of brown coir (made from ripe coconut) are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture. White coir, harvested from unripe coconuts, is used for making finer brushes, string, rope and fishing nets.
Nylon is the strongest of all ropes in common use. It is used for absorbing shock loads, such as when lifting or towing because it has the ability to return to it's original length after being stretched. It also has good abrasion resistance and can last several times longer than natural fibres. It is also resistant to oil and most chemicals. Like manila, nylon has good resistance to ultraviolet deterioration from sunlight. Nylon is ideal for use as bow-to-stern towing hawsers, surge lines, mountain climbing ropes, safety lines, lariat ropes, boat falls, drop hammer ropes, target tow rope, fishing ropes and industrial slings.
