Solutex is a technology based company, with a high expertise in obtaining superior quality products through Supercritical Fluid Technology (Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Chromatography).This technology uses CO2 in supercritical condition as solving agent. This is a GRAS compound (Generally Recognized as Safe) comprised in the concept of Green Chemistry (therefore not polluting) that provides the highest purity to our products.
In addition to this, Solutex through this technology obtains pesticide, fungicide and heavy metal free products, without any trace of solvent residues. This is due to the total separation of the CO2 and the product during the deterpenation process.
Carbon dioxide achieves its supercritical condition at a temperature over 31.1ºC and a pressure over 73.8 bar which allows to work at moderate conditions. Therefore there is absolutely no molecular loss, degradation or adulteration of the compounds and the high quality of our products is preserved.
CO2 Supercritical Fluid Technology is fast and selective. Little variations in the supercritical fluid temperature and pressure cause large variations in its density increasing its solvating power.
The high quality of Solutex products also relies on the expertise and continuous Research and Development efforts of our professionals. An external laboratory assures the complete traceability of our products from their origin to their final destination.
