Replace Hexane in Your Essential Oil Extractions

Hexane is a commonly used solvent in natural products and essential oil extractions. But Hexane has been categorized as a hazardous air pollutant by the US EPA, and is included on their list of toxic chemicals. Despite best efforts, facilities using hexane may leak up to 6,000 pounds of hexane a day into the atmosphere. In addition, extracts will contain undesirable hexane residue.

The solution: Supercritical Fluid extractions.
  • No hazardous waste
  • No chemical residue
  • No health hazard
