Pentane as Crystallization Solvent

๐Ÿ’ง Extraction First mentioned: Ep. 119

The use of pentane as the primary solvent for precipitating CBD crystals from distillate. Pentane is preferred due to its position on the toxicity scale and effectiveness at controlled temperatures for growing large, pure CBD crystals.

Anthony from C-Tech confirmed they use pentane in their crystallization process. Solvent choice, environment, ratios, and temperatures are all proprietary variables. After crystallization, residual pentane must be fully purged. Cold pentane wash on distillate to precipitate crystals.
