Ethanol production contributed $34.7 billion to the country’s GDP. Manufacturers use that solvent to make sanitizers, extract oils, and as a cleaning agent. Alcohol grading depends on the solvent’s concentration and the impurities present. In this article, you’ll learn what makes 200 proof ethanol vital in extraction procedures. And factors making it better than 190 proof ethanol or Everclear. What is 200 Proof Ethanol? Vendors call the product 100% absolute, anhydrous, or dehydrated alcohol. However, it’s challenging to gain a 100% solvent concentration because it evaporates fast. Therefore, you’ll only get 99%+ ethanol processed from advanced molecular filtration techniques. And that means that the final product…

Do you need high-quality botanical oils? You’re going to need an excellent dissolving solvent such as ethyl alcohol and an easy, affordable, and safe technique such as ethanol for winterization.  The advantage of using ethanol is that you’ll increase your product’s potency by extracting most of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and alkaloids in a high percentage. Moreover, you’ll also effectively sieve out impurities such as chlorophyll, fats, waxes, and lipids. ​But how do you use alcohol for the winterization process? Below you’ll find out all you need to know about that technique. Then, read on to learn more. What is Ethanol? Most people…

A financial report predicts that botanical oil sales will grow by 700% from $6 billion in 2016 to $50 billion in 2026. That massive boom will increase demand for resources such as ethanol used in extracting and purifying botanical oil.  Lately, there have been many questions surrounding alcohol use. For example, is the solvent effective for winterization or extraction? ​The answer is both. However, you’re bound to extract a mediocre product without the proper technique. But don’t you worry, the article below will cover all those aspects. Read on. ​ Ethanol for Extraction Most people in the botanical oil business prefer…
