What are extraction grade solvents? Extraction grade solvents are chemical solvents that are safe and effective for use in oil extraction processes. This process is called solvent extraction. In solvent extraction, both a chemical solvent and heat are applied to organic material such as nuts, seeds, flowers, leaves or olives. The solvent separates the oil of this organic material and then evaporates. What is left behind is a usable oil product that is safe for consumption, medical use, and other practices.

What are extraction grade solvents that are safe for this process? Some common solvents used for oil extraction are hexane, IPA, and acetone, among others. These solvents are used in extraction processes for their fast evaporation rates, and ability to draw out a large amount of oil. If you are looking for the right extraction grade solvents for your practice, Ecolink can help.
