About Extraction

Extraction solvents are specialized chemicals designed to selectively dissolve and separate target compounds from raw materials. The success of any extraction process depends on choosing solvents with the right polarity, boiling point, and purity level to maximize yield while maintaining product quality and safety standards.

Common Applications

  • Botanical Oil Extraction: Isolating essential oils, terpenes, and active compounds from plant materials
  • Food & Beverage Processing: Extracting natural flavors, fragrances, and nutritional compounds
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Purifying active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and isolating medicinal compounds
  • Laboratory Analysis: Liquid-liquid extraction for sample preparation and analytical testing
  • Industrial Processing: Removing impurities and concentrating valuable materials from raw feedstock
  • Research & Development: Small-scale extraction method development and optimization

What We Carry

Our extraction solvent collection includes both polar and non-polar options in multiple grades. Popular solvents include isopropyl alcohol (99.9% ACS grade), acetone (technical and ACS grades), ethyl acetate, toluene, and food-grade d-limonene. We stock reagent-grade materials for analytical work and technical grades for production applications. Learn more about solvent selection in our cannabis extraction guide and botanical extraction methods overview.

Available pack sizes range from quart bottles for laboratory use to 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon totes for production operations. Each grade meets specific purity standards detailed in our chemical grades guide.

Every order includes Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COA) for regulatory compliance and quality assurance. We offer 1-2 business day shipping with no minimum order requirements, ensuring you get the right extraction solvents when you need them.
