Subject: NEED INFO. ON WATER SOLUBLE BINDER FOR PLANT PRODUCT.

We are evaluating the manufacture of compacted coir dust bricks for use 
in plant nurseries for plant propagation. We propose compacting the coir 
dust into 1 litre bricks for freight economies and reconstituting the 
bricks into 8 litres of "coir peat" by spraying with water. We are 
looking for a suitable binder to aid the extrusion process. The binder 
must be very cheap, break down easily and fully by the addition of water 
spray and be readily available in Asia. Additionally it must not be 
harmful, impact on the pH or salintiy of the finished product or in any 
way impede the plant propagation process.

We would welcome your suggestions to "[email-masked]"

Thnak you in anticipation
