BVV™ Filtration Media CRC Starter Bundle   This is the BVV recommended starter bundle for anyone venturing in to closed loop Color Remediation and desiring to make a clear and cleaner end product.  This bundle works well with any of our Inline CRC hardware kits. (Seen here: ICRC300) BVV recommends a Pressure Flow through this bundle @ 30PSI.  What's Included in the Bundle? BVV™ Silica Gel 60A - BVV™ Chromatographic Silica Gel is as premium as it gets. We recommend this for our Top layer of the CRC to grab fats, waxes and color bodies.  It wont take the place of full dewaxing but it does a darn good job on its own.  We recommend 30-50g of Silica per lb. biomass as the top layer of your filtration stack depending on the age of your material and the diameter of your filtration column.  Pure-Flo® B80 Natural Bentonite for Bleaching - Pure-Flo® B80 will remove chlorophyll, color bodies, fats, waxes.  Its natural neutral pH will help retain terpene flavonoids and clarify and remove dark colors from your oils.  B80 is the most commonly used CRC media in extraction.  We recommend you use 100g of bentonite Clay per lb. biomass above a layer of Activated Alumina. BVV™ Activated Alumina - BVV™ Activated Alumina is granular media excellent for grabbing water and waxes.  We recommend Activated Alumina as the bottom layer of your filtration stack to absorb moisture at 30-50g per lb. biomass depending on the diameter of your filtration column.

Pure-Flo® B80 Bentonite for Decolorizing Edible Oils and Fats What is “Pure-Flo® B80 Natural Bentonite for Bleaching & Decolorizing Edible Oils *FDA-GRAS Instead of removing oil contaminants with harsh chemical additives, our Natural Bentonite Clay B80 uses the clay's inherent properties to purify the targeted oil. This means that naturally-active B80 poses no threat of mineral acid carryover in any finished oil products while significantly reducing red coloring and adsorbing chlorophyll.  As an example, a typical dosage of B80 (anywhere between 0.5% and 1.0%) during the bleaching and deodorizing process of sunflower oil can help achieve a great improvement in the color complexion by removing its red pigmentation.  Our B80 Product’s Benefits and Features This bleaching/decolorizing adsorbent is widely-used during the pretreatment and processing of edible oils and fats. It’s considered to be cost-effective, natural, and of excellent value due to its effective color removal without any mineral acid carryover.  ph Level: 7.2 FDA GRAS-Approved (Generally Recognized as Safe):  This product is regarded to be safe for food processing, as long as it's not a part of the end product being consumed.  NSF-HACCP: Prior to the changes in its down packing, this product was certified Kosher & Halal.

Chemtek W1  W1 (TM) is an acid activated bentonite clay adsorbent specific for the removal of chlorophyll, heavy metals, and fats. W1 is very effective at bleaching and refining while preserving the terpenes present in the oil. Unlike other clays, the ability to remove soaps and free fatty acids which are produced during the bleaching process reduces the amount of clay needed to bleach. W1 SDS W1 Technical Data Sheet

CHEMTEK W2 Heat Activated Natural Bleaching Clay W2 is a natural bleaching clay offering mild yet efficient results. It is heat activated to increase its adsorptive power without the use of any acids. The lack of acid prevents terpene isomerization and keeps the terpene profile the same while also slowing the oxidation rate of the oil thus increasing its shelf life. W2 is heavier in bulk density giving it lower oil retention. W2 SDS W2 Technical Data Sheet

LusterMax ALPHA alpha by LusterMax is an activated bentonite clay with modified characteristics best suited for botanical extraction being made into the wide variety of end product types, This takes a balance of strength and aversion for precious aromatic and flavor producing compounds.  Developed by an experienced extraction technician, LusterMax qualities stem from its attention to 4 variable characteristics that make up how well and absorbent media works. Mineral Composition: What is the bentonite clay composed of. Particle Size Range: What are the particle sizes and how well do they let liquid flow through. Degree Of Activation: How much surface area is unlocked via activation Post Activation pH: What is the measured pH and how this affects crystallization speed.   LusterMax products are designed by extractors to be simple and of omni-use. Meaning you can ditch your complicated 4-part blend and use LusterMax to achieve the same quality results with the occasional Silica Gel additive for extremely degraded biomass. No media option on the market exists that offers this level of strength and aversion for terpenes at the price point that allows manufacturers to fully utilize the refinement of adsorbent media like LusterMax. See our Neutral version of this exact media for lighter remediation usage that is still magnitudes stronger then any other neutral clay on the market. Also our own Silica additive Si Strength+ is available to pair with your order of a bentonite clay. Now available! We are happy to introduce the LusterMax Protocol, which is a 32 page training manual of how to implement CRC in your lab or optimize your existing process to be more precise, have less variations, and keep it cleaner.     SDS File

This Extra Strength GASPLUG Clear Mix is a special mixture of minerals that electromagnetically affixes themselves to plant compounds and pigment, removing the bad stuff from extracted oil, and purifying your oil.  Gas Plug Clear Mix #10 Extra Strength SDS CONTAINS: CARBON, SILICA, MAGNESIUM. * DISCLAIMER * You should only lose yield from your oil in correspondence to the amount of residual plant compound removed. If you lose more than 20% yield from gold oil, you have done it wrong. It is not uncommon to have a 50-60% cannabinoid crude oil that loses 30-40% yield under refinement. The amount of yield loss should be proportionate to the overall potency.
