Product overview
Vimsen Exim's high EC coco peat 5 kg block is natural coir pith that has been screened and dried but not washed, so it keeps the salts present in the husk. It delivers the same water-holding capacity and fibrous structure as washed grades at a lower price, which makes it the right choice where electrical conductivity isn't the limiting factor.
Buyers blend it into potting soils, use it to improve soil structure in fields and landscaping, or as absorbent animal bedding. Growers who prefer to wash and buffer the medium themselves also buy high EC blocks. EC varies with the husk source, so each batch is tested and the value is shared with your quotation.
Batch-tested before you commit
Every batch of this grade is tested for EC, pH, moisture and sand before pressing. You receive the batch values with your quotation and the full test report with your shipping documents.
