Cocoboard Material Production



After weeks of drying coconut husk and shell, the material is then chipped into a fine particle mixture, which is then combined with 5% adhesive. The amount of material used to press each board is calculated based upon the desired board thickness. The shredded coconut husk is then formed, with a steel template to emboss the pattern, and compressed in the hot-press machine for several minutes.
