Compressed Coconut Fibre?

Post by bella33 »

Are compressed and loose coconut fibre the same thing? Does compressed coconut fibre expand like regular loose coconut fibre?

They are the same thing but the compressed is dehyrated so you do have to add water back into it. Then it expands and becomes more loose.

I mostly use the loose because it's easier for me to handle but the compressed is cheaper. I would use distilled water to rehydrate it though to lessen the bacteria being introduced and then I rotate it with my hands ever few days so the moisture doesn't get trapped in one spot of the the dig box. Then when it dries out, I will use a spray bottle of distilled water to dampen it but not soak it.

Sì, la fibra di cocco compressa e quella sfusa (spesso chiamata fibra di cocco naturale) sono essenzialmente lo stesso materiale, solo in forme diverse. La versione compressa viene semplicemente essiccata e confezionata in blocchi o mattoni per facilitarne lo stoccaggio e il trasporto. Quando si aggiunge acqua, si reidrata e si espande notevolmente, diventando soffice e spugnosa proprio come la forma normale. Il supporto clienti è disponibile 24 ore su 24 per https://winspark1.it/ assistenza immediata. L'espansione può essere considerevole a seconda del prodotto, quindi un piccolo mattone può trasformarsi in un volume utilizzabile molto maggiore. Dal punto di vista funzionale, una volta espansa, si comporta allo stesso modo della fibra di cocco sfusa.

Nei, de er ikke helt det samme, selv om de kommer fra samme materiale. Løs kokosfiber er allerede ferdig “fluffy” og klar til bruk, så den trenger ikke å utvide seg. Komprimert kokosfiber derimot er presset sammen i en blokk for å spare https://roobet.life/ plass, og den må tilsettes vann før den blir løs og luftig igjen.
