Solventless extraction is a cutting-edge method of producing cannabis concentrates. Unlike traditional methods that use chemicals, this process harnesses the power of heat, pressure, ice, or water to meticulously separate trichomes from the biomass. These trichomes are rich reservoirs of cannabinoids and terpenes, forming the foundation for pure and potent concentrates. Dive into the world of solventless extracts and experience nature’s true essence.

Solventless extraction in the cannabis and hemp industry refers to the process of separating the desirable compounds like cannabinoids (THC, CBD) and terpenes from the plant material without the use of solvent chemicals. Unlike solvent-based methods that use substances like butane, propane, ethanol, or CO2, solventless techniques rely on physical means to isolate these compounds.
Solventless extraction is highly valued for producing pure, potent, and flavorful cannabis concentrates without residual solvents, aligning with consumer demand for natural and clean cannabis products. It’s celebrated for preserving the full spectrum of the plant’s cannabinoids and terpenes, leading to a high-quality, aromatic, and effective product. This method is also considered safer and more environmentally friendly since it avoids the risks associated with handling and disposing of volatile solvents.
