PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Highly Open Coco Substrate for Maximum Root-Zone Aeration

MaxAir™ is the most open and aerated substrate in the Nordic Coir grow media range.

The balanced combination of cocopeat and coco chips creates a structure with high pore space, allowing water to drain quickly while maintaining enough moisture for healthy crop growth. This helps provide a stable root-zone environment with excellent oxygen movement around the roots.

MaxAir™ is particularly suitable for professional growers who prefer fast irrigation response, strong drainage performance and maximum air capacity in the substrate.

It is an ideal solution for cultivation systems where root-zone activity, oxygen availability and irrigation precision are key to crop performance.
