Shatter

Shatter is a type of concentrate whose main characteristic is its hard and brittle texture. Its name comes from the English verb “to shatter”, meaning to break or smash. When handled, Shatter tends to break into pieces rather than deform. In the world of concentrates, the term primarily refers to a specific texture and appearance.

What is Shatter?

Shatter belongs to the family of concentrates obtained from compounds naturally present in hemp. Depending on the manufacturing process used, it may contain various cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG, CBC or CBN, as well as terpenes in varying proportions. Its texture immediately distinguishes it from other categories of concentrates.

Why is Shatter brittle?

Shatter’s characteristic structure results from specific manufacturing conditions. Factors such as temperature, purification, the composition of the concentrate and the processing steps influence its final texture. The result is a rigid material that fractures easily when handled.

What is the difference between Shatter, Wax and Crumble?

Shatter, Wax and Crumble may result from similar processes, but they are mainly distinguished by their texture. Shatter is hard and brittle, Wax generally has a softer, waxy consistency, while Crumble has a dry and crumbly texture. These names primarily describe the appearance of the final concentrate.

What does Shatter contain?

The composition of Shatter depends on the starting material and the process used to manufacture it. It may contain various cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds naturally present in hemp. Laboratory analyses can precisely identify its composition and cannabinoid profile.

Shatter in the world of concentrates

Shatter is one of the best-known textures in the world of concentrates. Alongside Wax, Crumble, Rosin and Live Rosin, it illustrates the diversity of concentrates that can be obtained from the natural compounds in hemp. Its glass-like appearance is one of the characteristics that makes it easy to recognise.
