Research shows that cannabis oil (also known as cannabinoids and CBD) has benefits such as anti-inflammatory properties, anticonvulsant, antioxidant, antiemetic and antipsychotic, meaning it is the potential treatment for numerous physical and mental illnesses.

Welcome to the final part of a three part series on Solvent Distillation safety, this article will look at heating jacket malfunction, nitrocellulose reactions and solvent properties. Our last safety article looked at solvent foaming and drying phase temperature increases, if you missed it click here: Solvent Distillation Safety Part II.

Welcome to the second part of a three part series on Solvent Distillation safety, this blog will look at solvent foaming and drying phase temperature increases. Our last safety article looked at Class 1 Division 1 MetLab Certification and distillation chamber safety, if you missed it click here: Solvent Distillation Safety Part I.

Recovering solvent through distillation is an excellent way to reduce operating costs for companies with low volume to an extremely high volume solvent use. Companies can recycle their own waste solvent to reduce the cost of waste disposal, and replacement their consumption of new solvent. Processing on-site also lowers their environmental liabilities in a safe manner when using the proper equipment.

Solvent is broadly defined as a liquid capable of dissolving other another substance, and solvents can obviously be found across a range of industries. In our context, solvents and their industrial uses are either liquids or gases that can dissolve or extract other substances.

LymTal International Inc. has introduced the line of Iso-Flex systems that are designed to protect concrete structures. LymTal offers a broad scope of products in their commercial waterproofing division including traffic and membrane coatings, as well as concrete and joint sealants.

The City of Burnaby has a designated road painting department that helps mark and line the pavement to guide traffic. Lane and center lining is carried out using a specially equipped truck.

Nitrocellulose is chemically an ester of Cellulose with Nitric Acid, and is commonly encountered in a variety of inks and coatings used throughout industry. The amount of Nitrocellulose used in a typical ink/paint system ranges from 2 to 30%, based on total solids content.

When you’re extracting solvent from Nitrocellulose based waste solvent and inks, it is important to distill under a relatively low controllable temperature range, ensuring that all of the conditions of temperature and dryness needed to start an exothermic reaction are not present at the same time.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation is responsible for asphalt design and testing. They provide the technical expertise behind the pavement-type selection process and help determine the timing of seasonal road restrictions.
