The Hydroponic Floating Raft Board is a high-density XPS floating board designed for DWC (Deep Water Culture) hydroponic systems. It provides an efficient soilless cultivation solution for greenhouse vegetable growing, allowing plants to grow directly above nutrient solution while their roots absorb water, oxygen, and nutrients.
Made from high-density XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) material, this hydroponic floating raft board offers excellent buoyancy, durability, and moisture resistance. It is widely used for commercial hydroponic farming, greenhouse vegetable production, and organic soilless cultivation.

A hydroponic floating raft board is a floating cultivation carrier used in DWC hydroponic systems. Plants are placed into planting holes on the board, while their roots extend directly into the nutrient solution below.
Unlike traditional soil farming, the floating raft hydroponics system does not require soil. Plants receive nutrients through water circulation, creating a clean and efficient growing environment.
A complete DWC hydroponic growing system usually includes:
Hydroponic floating raft board
Growing tank
Nutrient solution
Air pump and oxygen system
Net pots
Seedling sponge
This system is especially suitable for growing leafy vegetables in greenhouses and indoor farms.
The XPS hydroponic floating raft board is manufactured using high-density extruded polystyrene material.
Material advantages:
Lightweight structure
Excellent buoyancy
Water-resistant performance
Strong durability
Long service life
With a density of approximately 40kg/m³, the board provides stable support for plants during the entire growing cycle.
The hydroponic foam board eliminates the need for soil.
Benefits include:
Clean and hygienic cultivation
Reduced soil-borne diseases
Easier crop management
Suitable for organic vegetable production
Plants can grow directly through nutrient-rich water, improving nutrient absorption efficiency.
The DWC floating board can be customized according to different planting requirements.
Customization options include:
Board size
Shape design
Hole diameter
Hole quantity
Plant spacing
Standard planting holes are designed for:
2-inch net pots
50mm planting holes
This flexibility allows the floating raft board to adapt to different crops and cultivation systems.
The floating raft hydroponic system provides plants with continuous access to:
Water
Nutrients
Oxygen
The stable growing environment helps achieve:
Faster plant development
Stronger root systems
Higher crop productivity
Compared with traditional agriculture, a hydroponic floating raft system can maximize space utilization.
It is suitable for:
Greenhouse farming
Indoor agriculture
Commercial vegetable production
The system helps growers increase production capacity while reducing land requirements.
The hydroponic growing system using floating boards requires less daily maintenance.
Advantages:
Simple planting process
Easy harvesting
Reduced labor requirements
Convenient nutrient management
The hydroponic floating raft board is widely used in greenhouse cultivation for:
Lettuce
Spinach
Pakchoi
Kailan
Water spinach
Other leafy vegetables
It provides a stable environment for year-round vegetable production.
The floating raft board is the core component of a deep water culture hydroponic system.
In DWC cultivation:
Plants are fixed on the floating board.
Roots grow into nutrient solution.
Oxygen and nutrients are supplied continuously.
Plants grow without soil.
This method is popular among commercial hydroponic growers.
The hydroponic growing raft board can also be used for:
Seedling production
Plant propagation
Agricultural experiments
Its lightweight structure makes it easy to install and manage.

A hydroponic floating raft board is a floating cultivation panel used in DWC hydroponic systems. It supports plants while their roots grow directly into nutrient solution.
The floating raft board is made from high-density XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), which provides excellent buoyancy and water resistance.
It is suitable for leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, pakchoi, kailan, and water spinach.
NFT systems use a thin flowing nutrient film through channels, while DWC systems allow plant roots to grow directly in nutrient solution supported by floating boards.
Yes. Size, shape, hole quantity, and hole diameter can be customized according to different growing requirements.
