TECHNICAL RESOURCES & SPECIFICATIONS
Comprehensive agronomic parameters, testing protocols, and container freight references for international horticultural buyers.
EC & pH Testing Methodology
Our quality control lab utilizes the 1:1.5 volume extraction method with demineralized water. Readings for washed horticultural substrate maintain Electrical Conductivity below 0.5 mS/cm and pH within 5.5 to 6.8, ensuring natural root-zone buffering.
Air-Filled Porosity & Water Retention
Our blends combine fine coir pith with graded husk chips (70/30 or 50/50 ratios) to achieve 25% to 35% air-filled porosity (AFP) at container capacity, providing high oxygenation for root vigor without waterlogging.
International Procurement FAQs
What is the difference between Low EC Washed and High EC Unwashed Cocopeat?
Low EC washed cocopeat undergoes thorough freshwater desalination to reduce sodium and chloride levels below 0.5 mS/cm (1:1.5 extraction method), making it immediately suitable for sensitive crops, hydroponic vegetables, and nursery seedlings. High EC unwashed cocopeat typically has an EC > 1.5 mS/cm and is primarily utilized for animal bedding, landscaping, and industrial oil absorption.
How much expanded volume does a 5kg cocopeat block yield?
A standard 5kg compressed block rehydrates to approximately 70 to 75 liters of fluffy growing media, depending on the coarse-to-fine pith ratio and water hydration method.
How are export containers packed for international transit?
We provide both palletized stuffing (using ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets wrapped in UV-resistant film for mechanized forklift unloading) and floor-loaded stuffing (for buyers seeking maximum gross container payload of up to 26 metric tons in a 40ft High Cube container).
Need Custom Substrate Formulations?
We calibrate chip-to-pith ratios, particle sizing, and grow bag dimensioning to your exact greenhouse crop requirements.
