Description
IsoPropyl Alcohol 98% – 1L & 4L
IsoPropyl Alcohol is designed for oil extraction from herbs, and has a purity of 98%
Isopropyl alcohol dissolves a wide range of non-polar compounds. It also evaporates quickly, leaves nearly zero oil traces, compared to ethanol, and is relatively non-toxic, compared to alternative solvents. Thus, it is used widely as a solvent and as a cleaning fluid, especially for dissolving oils.
MAKING ESSENTIAL OILS WITH IPA
Follow these steps to make essential oils. Stay in a well ventilated area while using the GT IPA and make sure there are no naked flames or cigarettes around.
- Break the flowers and plant material into small pieces and put them inside a glass jar
- Cover them with the ethanol
- Store in a dark place for one week, shaking the jar everyday
- After one week, filter the liquid using a coffee filter
- Press the last drops of ethanol out of the plant material
- Evaporate the alcohol by pouring the filtered liquid onto a plate and keeping it in a temperature controlled and ventilated place for up to 10 days
- Store the liquid in an essential oil jar with a dropper
Repeating the process by taking the flowers and plant material from step 5 back to step 1 will increase the extracted oils.
