The HBC Pure Wax is extracted via a hyperbaric chamber...heres a breakdown
"
"
Enter Hyperbaric Chamber Pure Wax (HBC Pure Wax). A hyperbaric chamber is a device in which the atmospheric pressure can be controlled. Their most common use is to decompress divers coming up from deep dives. They are also used for a variety of oxygen therapies. Conditions like extreme wounds or open sores that won't heal can all be treated in a hyperbaric chamber. Naturally, leave it to an enterprising cannabis scientist/wizard to look at a hyperbaric chamber and think, "I could make hash in one of these." The ingenuity of cannabis people knows no bounds. Much trial and error ensued over a two-year period before the current incarnation of HBC Pure Wax was created. Much of the appeal of concentrates lies in their terpene profile-the elements that make up the particular smell of a cannabis strain. One of the first batches of HBC Pure to come through was tangerine; this beautiful orange wax smelled just like ripe tangerines. The taste was like a burst of fresh citrus in the mouth.
The basic process for making hash with a hyperbaric chamber is this: Ground-up cannabis is placed inside the chamber. Another empty vessel is attached. The temperature in the chamber is lowered to -40 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure is raised to several atmospheres. The cannabinoids and terpenes are literally pulled, or sucked up, and out of the vegetable material. When it becomes liquid, it is transferred to the second container and the pressure is reversed negative several atmospheres. This causes the liquid to solidify into the aforementioned wax that is HBC Pure Wax. And now, Harborside Health Center is proud to be the only Bay Area outlet for this exciting new product.
Other solvent-free choices available at Harborside Health Center today are CO2 extractions, familiar to most as a supplement for indoor grows that can be used to extract oil from cannabis. We carry a variety of CO2 oils available in a rotating selection of different strains. CO2 extraction also requires elaborate scientific equipment. The process is similar to butane extraction. The CO2 gas is pumped through cannabis granulate and the resulting oil is collected. Unlike butane, CO2 does not leave residual sulfur and unpressed gas. At lower extraction pressures CO2 oil retains many terpenes but has a relatively lower THC reading, usually around 30-40%. At higher pressures the THC climbs into the 50-60% range, but terpenes are lost.
CO2 oils have proved popular for refilling the wide variety of vapor pens Harborside Health Center carries at our retail boutique. Patients can get strain-specific refills, or they can mix and match to create custom blends. Both HBC and CO2 oils are well suited for all types of consumption, from old-school pipes to the fanciest new dabbing gear. Cannabis patients are an innovative lot. Faced with a growing demand for solvent-free waxes and oils, they rose to the challenge and created both HBC wax and the wide variety of CO2 oils now available. Those with serious medical conditions as well as the casual dabber now have the high-quality solvent-free options available everyday at Harborside Health Center. "

Imagine the pressures to get liquid co2 to supercritical and how it then "bursts" into a fog (of equidistant component spacing)...
Now imagine multiplying that pressure many many times and applying it to ground up cannabis - "Poof!" - a "fog" of individual components - like shaking up a bottle of salad dressing... Now quench it to supercold quickly. The compounds will now settle and stratify according to their specific gravity's. (their weight.) Just like what happens to that salad dressing after you take it back out of the fridge. Handily - the desired cannabinoids and terpenes are pretty heavy and settle so they can be filtered and selected.
This is all a very simplified description of the process - but the results are awesome.
