Washed, unwashed and buffered
These are different specifications. We quote each as its own grade.
| Grade | What it means | Typical use | What we agree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washed | Processed to reduce soluble salts. Treatment is stated per lot. | Nurseries, controlled growing, propagation | EC target range, units and test method written into the specification. |
| Unwashed (natural) | Not washed. Soluble salt level depends on the lot. | Blending, soil conditioning, downstream processing | Ask for the lot value on the agreed method before approving. |
| Buffered | A separate treatment from washing. | Buyers who specify it | If you need both washed and buffered, say so. Each is quoted as a defined grade. |
An EC number without units and a test method is incomplete. See how to compare EC across quotes.
Formats
Sizes and expansion
| Format | Stated size (compressed) | Stated expansion | Treatment options |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 kg block | 30 × 30 × 15 cm | about 65 litres | Washed, unwashed or buffered |
| 1 kg block | 20 × 10 × 5 cm | about 15 litres | Washed or unwashed |
| 650 g briquette | 21 × 10 × 5 cm | about 9 litres | Washed or unwashed |
Sizes and expansion volumes are supplier-stated and confirmed per lot. Measured values are put into the approved specification before an order.

Options
- Washed (lower soluble salts, for controlled growing)
- Unwashed or natural (blending, soil conditioning, downstream processing)
- Buffered (where the buyer specifies it)
- Retail packing and private-label labels, subject to MOQ and artwork approval

What to tell us
- Crop or application, and your irrigation water quality
- Target EC range with units and the test method (for example the extraction ratio used)
- Washed, buffered or natural requirement
- Moisture basis and expansion test you use for acceptance
- Intended use and buyer type (growing, resale, project, private label)
- Required size or grade and approximate quantity
- Delivery pincode (India) or destination port (export)
- Required date and whether this is a trial or a repeat requirement
- What your current quote includes: tax, packing and delivered freight
!
When this may not fit
- A single full-container commodity buy where you manage grade, freight and credit yourself. Price pressure is very high and Cocoqube may add little.
- A requirement for a specific filled grow slab. That is a separate technical qualification, not a standard listing.

Coco peat block FAQ
Do you quote a fixed EC value?
We quote against a target range, with units and the test method written in the specification. A bare number such as "below 2.0" is not enough to compare two suppliers, so we ask for the method before confirming.
Is washed coco peat the same as buffered?
No. Washing reduces soluble salts. Buffering is a separate treatment. If you need both, say so in the enquiry and we will quote each as a defined grade.
What is the minimum order?
Trial, standard-carton and custom MOQs are different. We confirm the applicable minimum in writing with your quote.
How do I work out how many blocks I need?
Use the block calculator. It converts the volume you need into blocks using the supplier-stated expansion. Actual expansion varies, so we confirm it on a sample before a large order.
Can I order blocks and pots together?
Yes. Mixed orders are packed and dispatched together where the carton plan allows. Tell us the pot, liner, disc or pole sizes on your block enquiry.
Coco peat or cocopeat
One material, several names, one specification
Coco peat is also written cocopeat, and is sometimes called coir pith or coco coir. It is the fine fraction made from coconut husk, sold as compressed blocks that expand with water. The name matters less than the specification: grade, particle structure, EC with units and test method, moisture basis and pack.
Bulk coco peat
For pallet and tonne quantities, compare quotes by expanded litre, grade and pack plan, not by price per kilogram alone. Our guide to comparing bulk quotes has a worked example, and the block calculator converts litres into whole blocks.
Peat-free growing media
If you are replacing peat moss, the grade of coco peat matters, because soluble salts differ between washed, unwashed and buffered material. Read coco peat versus peat moss and the EC guide, then ask for a paid sample from the grade you plan to buy.
Where we supply
