Testing
At Best Products, we ensure the highest quality standards through:
- Strict raw material selection
- Advanced processing techniques
- Regular testing and inspection
Testing Methods
We conduct rigorous testing to ensure our cocopeat products meet international standards.
The pH test measures how acidic or alkaline the cocopeat is, which affects plant growth. Cocopeat typically has a pH range of 5.0 to 6.8, ideal for most plants.
Why it matters?
A balanced pH ensures plants can absorb nutrients effectively. Too acidic or too alkaline cocopeat can harm plant health.
How we test it?
We mix cocopeat with distilled water, let it settle, and use a pH meter to measure the pH level, ensuring it meets the optimal range for healthy plant growth.
The EC test measures the salt content in cocopeat, which indicates its electrical conductivity. Low EC (0.5–1.5 mS/cm) is ideal for most plants.
Why it matters?
High salt levels can stress or damage plants, especially seedlings. Our low-EC cocopeat ensures safe and healthy growth.
How we test it?
We mix cocopeat with water, filter the solution, and use an EC meter to check the salt levels, confirming it’s suitable for plants.
The moisture test checks the water content in cocopeat, typically kept below 20% for compressed cocopeat to prevent mold and ensure quality.
Why it matters?
Proper moisture levels ensure cocopeat is easy to store, transport, and rehydrate for use, maintaining its quality.
How we test it?
We weigh a cocopeat sample, dry it completely, and reweigh it to calculate the moisture percentage, ensuring it meets industry standards.
The expansion volume test measures how much cocopeat expands when water is added, typically yielding 12–15 liters per kilogram of compressed cocopeat.
Why it matters?
Higher expansion means more usable growing medium, offering better value and efficiency for growers.
How we test it?
We add a measured amount of water to a cocopeat sample, allow it to expand fully, and measure the final volume to ensure consistent, high expansion.
