What exactly are cannabis oil shatter and wax extracts?

Cannabis wax oil

Cannabis wax refers back to the softer, opaque oils which have lost their transparency after extraction. Unlike individuals of transparent oils, the molecules of cannabis wax crystallize because of agitation. Light can’t traverse irregular molecular densities, which refraction leaves us having a solid, non-transparent oil.

Just like transparent oils span the spectrum between shatter and sap, wax can take on several consistencies according to heat, moisture, and also the texture from the oil prior to it being purged (the procedure by which residual solvents are taken off the merchandise). Runny oils with increased moisture have a tendency to form gooey waxes frequently known as “budder,” as the harder ones will probably undertake a gentle, brittle texture referred to as “crumble” or “honeycomb.” The word “wax” may be used to describe many of these softer, solid textures.

The Complex Art of Cannabis Extraction

There is a reason cannabis extraction has become as big part of competitive Cannabis Cups as flowers the understanding and care which goes into removing oils is really as complicated as the skill of growing the plants they come from. All the extraction process requires a balance of science and art, starting with selecting beginning material and ending using the purging and storage process. This simplified explanation of oil consistencies is just a scratch at first glance of the emerging craft, and it is exciting to assume just how much further science will carry its potential.
