Everything You Need to Know About Rosin Micron Bags!

Rosin Micron bags

With the world of medicinal plants ever changing, those of us keeping an insight on the industry have seen its fast paced evolution happen right before our eyes! From old school flower grown straight from the ground, all the way to high end concentrates created using scientific methods to extract all of the active oil compounds that make up the medicinal plants. Most notability being, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), while leaving behind all of the non-wanted plant material.

One of the newest forms of cannabinoid extraction is known as rosin, a process that uses the heat and pressure of rosin press to separate the medicinal plants from the oil, by the use of a Rosin Micron Bag.

What is a Rosin Micron Bag?

A Rosin Micron bag is a sown bag composed of NYLON mesh that acts as the filtration system to separate the medicinal plants plant from the cannabinoid oils that are desired. Much like a coffee filter, these bags come in different grates that are measured in Micron units. These bags can be cut into various lengths and widths depending on the size needed for use. 

Understanding Micron Units

A micron is a unit of measure in the metric system equal to 1 millionth of a meter in length (about 39 millionths of an inch). The average cross-section of a human hair is 50 micron, and the human eye cannot see anything smaller than 40 microns in size.

50 microns – Diameter of a human hair
40 microns – Lower limit of visibility of a human eye 25 microns – White blood cells
8 microns – Red blood cells
2 microns – Bacteria

How Do You Use a Rosin Micron Bag?

The rosin micron bag comes flat from the manufacturers, requiring you to turn it inside out before use, like a pillowcase. You’ll grind your favourite legal herbs in your grinder as normal and then add them to the bag.

Fold the end of the bag over to prevent any herb from escaping, and place it between a folded sheet of parchment paper on the rosin press.

Drop the plates onto the bag and squeeze them to the recommended pressure. The hot rosin bleeds through the micron holes in the rosin bag, leaving behind the plant matter. As a result, you have fresh rosin concentrate on the parchment, with no plant matter contaminating the concentrate.

What size Rosin Micron Bag do I Use?

Rosin micron bags are available in a range of sizes to suit your concentrate requirements. Typically, most bags range between 25 and 180-microns. The size of the bag determines the type of material used during the press.

25u-90u is ideal for sift, water, or bubble hash
90u-180u is good for flower or trim.
