  Closed-loop extraction systemClosed-loop Extraction recycles hydrocarbon solvent or CO2 in a closed system, without releasing gas into the air. This process usually refers to butane or propane extraction and is much safer than open blasting.(...) Read More
• 
  CO2CO2 or Carbon Dioxide is a chemical compound composed of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. CO2 is a commonly used solvent in many different concentrate extractions to produce a variety of results. Read More
• 
  CO2 extractionWhen liquid or gas CO2 is pressurized to its super critical state and passed through cannabis, this is referred to as CO2 extraction. Any pressure over 1078 PSI is sufficient to strip away waxes and cannabinoids to(...) Read More
• 
  CombustionCombustion refers to the process of burning any material. However, combustion in this case refers to the burning of any cannabis flower or concentrate. Read More
