Hash Rosin vs. Hash Resin™

What is Rosin?

Types of Rosins

• Flower Rosin—uses dried nugs, mids, shake or trim; most common source material for rosin, and more flavorful than hash rosin
• Live Rosin—uses frozen weed plants; more flavorful than other rosins as using frozen plants preserves terpenes and flavors
• Hash Rosin—uses bubble hash or dry sift hash; generally harsher than flower rosin as hash is harsher, and can be more potent depending on the hash used

Hash Rosin: Pros & Cons

Benefits

Simple Extraction Process

Compared to some other extraction processes in the cannabis industry, hash rosin is fairly simple to make. Unlike some forms of hash making, rosin doesn’t rely on special hardware so it can be made both at home or in a commercial environment. All you need to have is a hot iron or hair press, some parchment paper, and apply a lot of pressure.

Drawbacks

Residue

What is Hash Resin™?

Hash Resin™ is a trademark of PURE5™ Extraction and is created from dry or wet plants run through a closed loop system circulating a safe aerosol gas. The process is gentle to the flower while preserving its natural appearance. Our process is performed at room temperature in an airless environment therefore there is no oxidation preserving the terpenes and the cannabinoids in their unaltered form. 

Types of Hash Resin™

• Live Resin—uses fresh nugs, mids, shake or trim; 
• Terpene Rich Resin—uses dry uncured nugs, mids, shake or trim run at low temperature; 
• Full Spectrum Resin—uses dry cured nugs, mids, shake or trim;

Rosin vs. Resin: What’s the difference?

Many confuse “rosin” and “resin” because the two terms sound so similar. Broadly speaking, resin is the sticky substance secreted by trichomes on marijuana plants. Chemists call it oleo-resin since it is a tick oil substance. Rosin is extracted through heat and pressure, without any chemicals. Both resin and rosin are made from either wet or dried cannabis material. These extracts can be complicated further with the terms “live resin” and “live rosin” as we have explained above. 

The process for making rosin is typically more labor-intensive and costly, so rosins tend to be more expensive than resins. Because rosins are claimed to be solventless, they are thought to be cleaner because they don’t use chemicals such as butane or ethanol. Although the aerosol Hash Resin™ fully resolves the cost, taste and appearance in a product and takes a significantly higher place in providing better experience. 

As resins require solvents and a closed-loop system, they should only be created by licensed professionals in a certified lab and only bought in a legal market that requires products be tested. Below is a simple comparison between the Hash Rosin and Hash Resin™ processes.
