Extraction Solvents & Chemicals for Cannabis & Hemp

USP/FCC ethanol, hydrocarbon solvents, filtration media, carrier oils, HPLC solvents and sanitizers — with Kosher, Halal and Organic options, lot COAs, and sizes from a pint to a 275-gallon tote.

What you need at each step

From biomass extraction to potency testing, pick chemicals by the job they do in your process. Each one links to its product page with grades, sizes and documents.

  1. 01

    Extraction

    Undenatured 200 proof ethanol pulls cannabinoids and terpenes from plant material.

  2. 02

    Winterization

    Chill extract in ethanol to drop out fats and waxes, then filter.

  3. 03

    Filtration & remediation

    Adsorbents remove color, chlorophyll and impurities from crude oil.

  4. 04

    Formulation

    Carrier oils dilute distillate and isolate into tinctures and ingestibles.

  5. 05

    QC & potency testing

    HPLC-grade solvents and water prepare samples and mobile phases for potency testing.

  6. 06

    Cleaning & sanitation

    Clean extraction equipment, glassware and work surfaces between batches.

Which grade belongs in your product?

Extraction solvent grade carries through to your finished product. Match the grade on the label and COA to where the chemical ends up — in the product, in the QC lab, or on the equipment.

What extractors check before they buy

Denatured or not
Only undenatured USP/FCC ethanol belongs in ingestibles; denaturants carry through to the extract.
Proof & water content
200 proof pulls fewer water-soluble compounds like chlorophyll than lower-proof ethanol.
Residual solvent limits
State testing rules cap residual solvents in finished products — plan purging and testing.
Lot COA
Your compliance lab and auditors will ask for the COA behind each solvent lot.
Shipping & storage
Ethanol ships as UN1170 flammable liquid; plan storage and receiving for drums and totes.

Paperwork for your compliance file

Cannabis and hemp rules, including residual solvent and testing limits, vary by state. Confirm requirements with your compliance or regulatory team.

From R&D run to production

Same grade, same documentation at every size. Dial in a process on a pint or gallon, then scale to drums and totes without requalifying a new supplier.

Cannabis & Hemp buyer questions

What ethanol should I use for cannabis or hemp extraction?

For products people will ingest, use 200 proof undenatured ethanol in USP/FCC grade. Check the lot COA against your process and state testing requirements.

Can I use denatured or SDA ethanol for extraction?

Not for ingestible products, because denaturants carry through to the extract. SDA alcohol may suit topicals or cleaning, and SDA orders of 5 gallons or more require a TTB permit.

How does ethanol ship?

Ethanol ships as UN1170, a flammable liquid. Some sizes and chemicals ship only to commercial addresses.

What is winterization?

Winterization dissolves crude extract in ethanol, chills it so fats and waxes separate, then filters them out. Filter aids such as diatomaceous earth help the filtration step.

Can I get a COA for each lot?

Yes. A lot-specific Certificate of Analysis and the SDS are available for every product.

Do you offer bulk pricing for production volumes?

Yes. Request a quote for drums, totes or recurring volumes, or call 512-668-9918.
