Machine Twisted Fibre (FMT) is produced from high-quality natural coir fibres extracted from coconut husks, which are cleaned and expertly twisted into strong, durable coils. Using an advanced machine-twisting technique, the coir fibres are twisted, steamed, and spun to achieve a tight curl, providing strength and resilience.

The fibres are then processed to give a spring-like feel, making it perfect for applications where durability, comfort, and eco-friendliness are essential. This versatile product is widely used in bedding, automotive upholstery, horticulture, and erosion control.

We produce FMT fiber at our Chilaw facility, controlling twist density, thickness, and colour batch by batch. Supply is in standard or mega coil form, packed and loaded to your container specification.

Good to Know

FMT Fiber (Curled Coir) — FAQs

What does FMT mean?

Machine Twisted Fibre. Coir fibres are cleaned and expertly twisted into strong, durable coils using the Machine Twisted technique — twisted, steamed, and spun to achieve a tight, lasting curl.

Do you ship it as rope or opened fiber?

We supply coils in standard (20–25 kg) or mega (120–150 kg) formats. Rope form protects the curl during shipping; many manufacturers open it on-site.

How does curled coir compare to synthetic foam?

Coir breathes. It ventilates moisture and heat, keeps its loft for years, and at end of life it biodegrades instead of persisting as plastic waste.

Can colour and thickness be specified?

Yes — natural, black, or red colouring, and thickness (20–26 mm) and twist density (60–68 twists/metre) are all controlled during production to match your standard.
