We only recommend and warranty GlassVac® chambers for resin infusion and wood stabilization.The lid may be cleaned with any solvent or cleaning agent. See FAQ at the top for product safety warnings. Pump Warranty Information: Customers using solvents such as stabilization resins (MinWax™, Gator Venom™ etc.), alcohol and other polar solvents must use the vacuum pumps in conjunction with a cold trap for evacuations in excess of 5 minutes. (Exludes Cactus Juice™) If the consumer is using the pump for prolonged periods of time exceeding 5 minutes we require that a cold trap is used or the pump warranty is void. These stabilization resins have the ability to break down the internal components of the pump that are plastic resulting in a seized motor voiding all warranties. When evacuation exceeds 5 minutes these solvents begin to vaporize and then re-condense in the vacuum pump reservoir. Once enough solvent re-condenses in the pump displacing the oil the plastic internal components may begin to warp, melt or seize. The use of a cold trap will condense the vapors prior to making their way to the vacuum pump preventing pump damage due to excessive use. Furthermore, Minwax Wood Hardener™ is not to be used with any vacuum pumps, EVER. (A seized motor will result within the first use.) To prevent these issues from happening to your process, change the Oil after each vacuum pump use, Even if the use time is only 5min.

Isopropyl Alcohol IPA 99% Tech
Isopropyl Alcohol IPA 99% Isopropyl alcohol, also known as 2-propanol or rubbing alcohol, is one of the most common alcohol solutions. The exact mechanism behind isopropanol’s disinfectant is not certain, however, it’s believed to kill cells through the process of denaturing cell proteins and DNA, dissolving cell lipoprotein membranes, and obstructing cellular metabolism. Isopropanol has a range of applications and uses across multiple industries, from medicine to cosmetics, and we explore this below. Cleaning Agent for Extraction, Laboratory, and Medical Industries In addition, 99% pure isopropyl alcohol serves as a cleaning agent for the laboratory, medical, and extraction industries. Mixed with water, this solution can be used as a rubbing-alcohol antiseptic. Quality solvents are vital for cleaning delicate electronics, extraction equipment, and other sensitive items. It also makes a perfect solution for surface disinfectant. 99% IPA evaporates cleanly and minimizes residual substances. Cleaning Agent for Home Care A truly versatile solution used in a variety of applications, isopropyl can also serve as a home cleaning remedy. For example, many window and toilet bowl cleaners contain isopropyl alcohol. rubbing alcohol can dissolve icky residues such as chewing gum, sap, hairspray, and other difficult compounds from hands, surfaces, and more. Other ways isopropyl can be used: Cleaning makeup brushes Cleaning blinds Cleaning sinks and chrome Deodorizing shoes Disinfecting computer mouse and keyboard Disinfecting mobile phone Dissolving windshield frost Getting rid of fruit flies Cleaning jewelry Creating homemade sanitizer Preventing ring around the collar Cleaning stainless steel Other Things to Note Spigots/Faucets are only compatible with 5 Gallon Jugs and must be purchased separately Isopropyl alcohol is a fast-evaporating solvent and industrial cleaning agent, intended for industrial or professional use only.

Vacuum Pump Vapor Mist Filter
Vacuum Pump Vapor Mist Filter The BVV™ Mist Filter is our solution to capturing the oil mist exhausting out of vacuum pumps. This filter is filled with a replaceable media and will save you $ over alternative solutions like the Koby filter. The filter media is a granular food grade adsorbent and is designed to adsorb oil specifically. The granular media doesn't restrict flow on your pump, and when it becomes saturated with oil it continues to work. We recommend you change out the media when the filter is 50% soaked with oil. During certain vacuum pressures light vapor mist may momentarily exit the filter. The filters within the housing, do not have an indefinite life. Should they become dirty and clogged over the years, it can be cleaned with degreaser like CitraKlean CK-1QT then left to dry before re-loading. Media Capacity: 185 grams.

How Can I Pressure Test My Extractor With Nitrogen? Pressure testing your extractor with nitrogen involves using nitrogen gas to check for leaks, verify the integrity of the equipment, and ensure its safety before performing actual extraction processes. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to pressure test your extractor using nitrogen gas: Materials Needed: Nitrogen gas cylinder with appropriate regulator Pressure gauge PTFE tape (thread seal tape) Bubble solution or soapy water Safety goggles and gloves Wrench or spanner Steps: Preparation: Ensure that the extractor is clean and free from any residual materials. Check all fittings, connections, valves, and joints for signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Replace any damaged components. Make sure the extractor is properly assembled and closed, including any access ports or lids. Safety Precautions: Wear appropriate safety goggles and gloves to protect your eyes and hands. Work in a well-ventilated area to prevent the buildup of nitrogen gas. Regulator Setup: Attach the nitrogen gas cylinder to the regulator and secure it tightly using a wrench. Set the desired pressure on the regulator according to the recommended pressure for your extractor and testing requirements. Sealing Threads: Apply PTFE tape to the threads of the fittings and connections. This helps create a better seal and prevents leaks. Connect Nitrogen Gas: Connect the regulator outlet to the appropriate inlet or access port on the extractor using a compatible hose or tubing. Pressure Testing: Slowly open the nitrogen gas cylinder valve to allow gas to flow into the extractor. Monitor the pressure gauge and allow the pressure to build up to the desired test pressure. Once the desired pressure is reached, close the cylinder valve to stop the flow of nitrogen gas. Leak Detection: If pressure is not maintained apply a bubble solution or soapy water to all the fittings, joints, and connections. Inspect the extractor for any bubbles forming, indicating potential leaks. Pay close attention to areas where bubbles appear, and tighten or adjust fittings after depressurizing the system as needed to eliminate leaks. Release Pressure: Slowly release the pressure from the extractor by gradually opening the cylinder valve. Once the pressure is completely released, disconnect the nitrogen gas source. Final Inspection: Reapply the bubble solution or soapy water to the connections that were adjusted. Verify that no bubbles form, indicating that leaks have been successfully resolved. Documentation: Keep a record of the pressure test results, including the test pressure and any adjustments made. Repeat if Necessary: If any leaks were detected and resolved, repeat the pressure test to ensure all leaks have been eliminated. Pressure testing your extractor with nitrogen gas helps ensure the safety and integrity of the equipment, minimizing the risk of leaks during actual extraction processes. Always follow proper safety guidelines and manufacturer recommendations when working with nitrogen gas and pressure testing equipment. How Do I Perform A Nitrogen Assisted Extraction? Using nitrogen to inject butane into a closed-loop extraction system requires careful consideration and adherence to safety protocols. Nitrogen gas can be used to pressure test the extraction system, assist in transferring butane throughout the system, and assist in the process of adsorbent filtration/color remediation. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use nitrogen to inject butane into your closed-loop extraction setup: Materials Needed: Closed-loop extraction system with Pressure Relief Valve Nitrogen gas cylinder with appropriate regulator Pressure gauge Nitrogen-compatible hose or tubing Butane tank Butane-compatible hose or tubing Safety goggles and gloves Wrench or spanner Steps: Safety Precautions: Wear appropriate safety goggles and gloves to protect your eyes and hands. Work in a C1D1 environment to prevent the buildup of flammable gases. Preparation: Ensure that the closed-loop extraction system is clean, properly assembled, and free from any residual materials. Regulator Setup: Attach the nitrogen gas cylinder to the regulator and secure it tightly using a wrench. Set the desired pressure on the regulator based on the recommended pressure for your closed-loop system and extraction process We recommend utilizing 25-50 PSI to perform solvent transfer throughout the system. Nitrogen Line Connection: Connect the regulator outlet to the nitrogen-compatible hose or tubing. Connect the other end of the hose to the vapor port or accessory port to the recovery cylinder of your closed-loop system. Butane Line Connection: Connect the recovery cylinder to the closed-loop system using a butane-compatible hose or tubing. Ensure that the recovery cylinder is securely connected to the system, properly sealed, and grounded. Pressurizing the System: Slowly open the nitrogen gas cylinder valve to allow nitrogen gas to flow into pressurize the recovery cylinder. Monitor the pressure gauge and pressurize the recovery cylinder to the desired pressure for injecting butane. Nitrogen gas is used to create pressure that forces the butane into the system. Injecting Butane: Open the valve on the recovery tank to allow the butane to flow into the material column of the closed-loop system. The pressurized nitrogen gas assists in transferring the butane through the system and into the collection base of the system. Monitoring and Safety: Carefully monitor the pressure levels on both the nitrogen gas cylinder and the recovery cylinder. Venting: Once the injection and extraction processes are complete, close the valves on both the nitrogen gas cylinder and the recovery tank. Prior to applying heat to your collection base and starting your solvent recovery procedure first slowly vent the nitrogen from the collection base directly into the ventilation system of your C1D1 Booth. Monitor the pressure gauge and sight glass of the collection base closely. Slowly and incrementally vent the nitrogen from the system until the solution begins to boil this is an indication that the nitrogen filling the headspace of the collection base has been removed and the butane is filling the remaining headspace. Additionally, if the pressure starts to increase after an incremental venting procedure that is a good indication that the nitrogen has been released from the system and the butane is building pressure within the system. If the tank PSI remains the same after a venting procedure then nitrogen is most likely still within the system. Recovery: Once the nitrogen has been successfully removed from the collection base proceed to vent the nitrogen from the empty recovery cylinder and pull the recovery cylinder and the associated lines under vacuum. With the nitrogen now removed from both the collection base and recovery cylinder you can now proceed with your recovery procedure Disconnect the nitrogen gas line and the butane line from the closed-loop system. Properly store the nitrogen gas cylinder and the recovery tank according to safety guidelines. Using nitrogen to inject butane into a closed-loop extraction system requires a solid understanding of the equipment, processes, and safety procedures involved. Always refer to your closed-loop system's manufacturer guidelines and follow best practices for safe operation. How Much Nitrogen Pressure Do I Need For Adsorbent Filtration/ Color Remediation? The nitrogen pressure required for adsorbent filtration and color remediation can vary depending on the specific equipment, setup, and the type of media you are using. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your particular closed-loop extraction system and adsorbent filtration equipment. In general, nitrogen gas can be used to apply pressure to assist in pushing the solvent through the adsorbent media, enhancing the filtration and color remediation process. The pressure you need may vary based on factors such as the viscosity of the solvent, the flow rate, the type of adsorbent media, and the desired results. It's recommended to start with a moderate nitrogen pressure and gradually increase it while monitoring the flow rate and effectiveness of the process. Generally, pressures in the range of 20 to 50 psi (pounds per square inch) are commonly used for adsorbent filtration and color remediation. However, this pressure range can be adjusted based on your specific equipment and requirements. Keep in mind that using too high of a pressure can potentially cause channeling, uneven flow, and limited retention through the adsorbent media, affecting the quality of the filtration process. It's essential to strike a balance between achieving effective filtration and avoiding excessive pressure that could lead to inefficient results or potential safety risks. It's best to perform small-scale tests before scaling up to ensure optimal results and start off slowly when using nitrogen pressure for adsorbent filtration and color remediation.

It is intended to provide a starting point for learning the process. Parameters should be adjusted to suit specific needs. Clean and assemble unit. Make sure all pieces are cleaned and sterilized using an alcohol solution. Connect chiller to condenser and set to 0C (32F). Always fill a rotovap condenser from the top down (chiller output to top of condenser, chiller input to bottom of condenser). Connect vacuum pump to cold trap and connect cold trap to vacuum port on rotovap. Turn on heat bath and set to 40C (113F). Once heat bath, chiller and cold trap have reached desired temperatures, turn on rotovap motor and set speed to approximately 100 RPM (does not have to be precise). Keep in mind, higher RPM’s will increase evaporation power but also increase heat load. Start vacuum pump and allow vacuum to pull down for a few minutes before injection. Once vacuum has been pulled to a sufficient level (does not have to be precise but should be below 100 Torr), using the injection valve, very slowly inject approximately 500 mL of solution into evaporating flask and then close the valve. Allow this small amount to begin evaporating. You may see the chiller begin to rise in temperature, this is called “priming” the rotovap. Once the temperature stops rising or all liquid is almost completely evaporated, open the injection valve again very slowly so that a small amount of liquid begins to enter the evaporating flask. Do not close injection valve this time but continue to allow solution to enter the evaporating flask. At this point you must try to match the input speed to the output speed. What this means is that you should be injecting the same amount of liquid into the rotovap that is equal to the amount of liquid dripping from the condenser into the receiving flask. You will know that the input speed and output speed are matched because the chiller will remain at a stable temperature. If the chiller begins to rise, then you are injecting too much liquid. Dial back the valve until the chiller stabilizes. Once everything is stabilized, you may walk away from the rotovap if necessary. Check every so often to make sure temperatures remain stable and evaporation continues efficiently. ***Note: All units are inspected for broken glass or parts before unit is shipped.

3mm Open Blast Shower Head End Caps
3mm Open Blast Shower Head End Caps These Tri-Clamp End Caps have a 3mm hole drilled in the center so most butane can tips to easily fit in the hole allowing the user to input solvent into a material column and open blast the material. Shower Head End Caps help disperse solvent input into a system which creates better material saturation when flooding a material column. This helps to prevent channeling, ensuring all the material is saturated. Specifications: Material: 304 Stainless Steel Connection Type: Tri-Clamp 3mm Hole Standard: 3A Sizes Available: 1.5" 2" 3" 4"

Hemispherical Tri-Clamp Reducer with 1/4" FNPT Side Port
Hemispherical Tri-Clamp/ Tri Clover Reducer with 1/4" FNPT Side Port This unique version of the hemispherical reducer has a 1/4" FNPT port welded straight on to the hemispherical reducer with Tri-Clamp ends on both sides. It allows the user to adapt to a port on their extraction system without having to adapt multiple pieces together and reduce the number of leak points. A hemispherical reducer also shortens the height of a system because it is shorter than a conical reducer. Tri Clamp reducers are the perfect alternative to concentric reducers when space is at a premium in confined areas. In addition, this device is also leak proof and adequate for easy application. Specifications Material 304 Stainless Steel Sizes Available: 3" x 1.5" Tri-Clamp x 1/4" FNPT 4" x 1.5" Tri-Clamp x 1/4" FNPT 4" x 2" Tri-Clamp x 1/4" FNPT 6" x 1.5" Tri-Clamp x 1/4" FNPT 6" x 2" Tri-Clamp x 1/4" FNPT 8" x 2" Tri-Clamp x 1/4" FNPT 10" x 2" Tri-Clamp x 1/4" FNPT 12" x 2" Tri-Clamp x 1/4" FNPT
