Low EC Cocopeat 50L is a washed and buffered coco coir substrate with stable pH and low salinity, designed for hydroponic systems, greenhouse cultivation and professional farming projects.
Low EC Cocopeat 50L – Washed & Buffered Substrate for Hydroponics
VinaTap Vietnam supplies premium Low EC cocopeat 50L (washed & buffered coco coir) for hydroponic growing systems, greenhouse cultivation and export buyers who require stable EC/pH and consistent quality.
Contents
1) Why Low EC Cocopeat Matters
International buyers and professional growers focus on EC because high salt levels can impact nutrient recipes, root development, and crop consistency. A true Low EC coco coir helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently—especially in closed-loop and precision fertigation systems.
- Low EC cocopeat / washed coco coir: reduced salinity for sensitive crops.
- pH balanced substrate: stable range supports nutrient availability.
- Pathogen-free / sterilized coir: reduces risks of pests, mold, and harmful microorganisms.
2) What Is Washed & Buffered Cocopeat?
Washed cocopeat is coco coir pith that has been washed multiple times to remove excess salts. Buffered coco peat is additionally treated to replace sodium/potassium ions with calcium & magnesium (Ca/Mg), improving stability for hydroponic nutrient programs.
Typical VinaTap processing approach
- Raw material selection & screening
- Multi-stage washing to reduce EC
- Buffering with Ca/Mg to stabilize cation exchange behavior
- Heat treatment / sterilization
- Sieving to consistent particle size for uniform drainage
3) Technical Specifications (Typical)
Note: specifications can be customized by order (particle size, moisture, blend ratio, packaging).

| Moisture | 35 – 45% (customizable) |
| Safety | Pathogen-free / sterilized coir (no E.coli, Salmonella; low contaminants) |
| Packaging | 50L bag (export carton / pallet / container options) |
4) Why Buffered Cocopeat Is Better for Hydroponics
Many growers choose buffered coco peat because buffering improves consistency and reduces the risk of nutrient imbalance. In hydroponics, coco coir acts as an active medium with cation exchange capacity (CEC). Buffering helps your nutrient solution perform predictably.
- Improves Calcium availability at the root zone.
- Reduces sodium/potassium interference for sensitive crops.
- Supports stable performance for soft fruit substrate (strawberry/blueberry) and greenhouse vegetables.
5) Applications & Crops
Low EC cocopeat 50L is a flexible hydroponic growing medium used across multiple models:
- Hydroponics / soilless systems: drip irrigation, slabs, container farming.
- Greenhouse crops: tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, leafy greens.
- Soft fruits: strawberry and blueberry substrate blending.
- Cannabis grow media: consistent EC/pH is a key requirement.
- Nursery propagation: clean substrate for seedlings and young roots.
6) Packaging & Trade Options
- Retail & greenhouse: 50L bags ready to use.
- Wholesale / export: palletized or containerized supply (FOB / CIF on request).
- Custom blends: coco peat + fiber + chips based on crop requirements.
7) Common Names / Synonyms

9) FAQs – Low EC Cocopeat 50L
What EC level is recommended for hydroponics?
Most hydroponic growers prefer Low EC cocopeat with EC around < 0.5 mS/cm to ensure stable nutrient management, especially for sensitive crops and soft fruits.
What is the difference between washed and buffered cocopeat?
Washed cocopeat focuses on reducing salinity. Buffered coco peat is additionally treated with Ca/Mg to improve CEC behavior and prevent nutrient imbalance caused by Na/K exchange.
Is cocopeat safe and pathogen-free?
VinaTap products are processed to be clean and sterilized. For export projects, we can provide consistent quality control and documentation based on order requirements.
Can I use 50L cocopeat for grow bags and greenhouse tomatoes?
Yes. Low EC cocopeat is widely used for coco coir grow bags and greenhouse vegetables due to its water retention and aeration properties.
Can VinaTap customize particle size, moisture, and blending ratio?
Yes. We can customize particle size, moisture level, and blends of coco peat / fiber / husk chips to match different crop requirements and buyer specifications.
