How to extract cbd isolate
CBD Isolate is the most purest form of CBD available. It comes in powdered form and can be mixed into liquids or taken sublingually. Typically, it is 99% pure, and can be used for a variety of purposes including making tinctures, oil infusions, topicals and more.
How to extract cbd isolate
As with any hemp/cannabis extract, the first step in making CBD Isolate is to start with clean solvents and a high-quality source of organic hemp. Once extracted, the oil is filtered and refined through short path distillation to further remove terpenes, flavonoids and other minor cannabinoids to make the CBD extract as pure as possible.

The next step is to crash the extract, which means adding a solvent like pentane and stirring it over heat until the CBD molecules become crystallized into a powder or crystalline structure. This process is repeated a number of times until the CBD molecules are completely isolated from any other compounds that may have been present in the initial extract.
How to extract cbd distillate
The final step in making CBD distillate is decarboxylation. This step is crucial to the extraction process and removes the carboxylic acid from any cannabinoids that are still present in the final product.
To get the best results from this process, it’s important to use a vacuum pump to create a vapor pressure that will draw the solvents and other unwanted compounds out of the extract. This is usually done using a wiped film evaporator. Wiped films are made by spinning wiper blades that create a thin film on a heated vessel, allowing the extraction solution to pass over it while under vacuum.
