Shellac Blond Dewaxed
We offer high-quality, pure shellac. This is a natural resin obtained from the excretions of the lacquer scale insect. To produce this pure and light-colored variety, the shellac is dewaxed and cleaned. Shellac is brittle, hard, odorless and tasteless at room temperature. This product is made in Germany from selected raw materials, mainly of Thai origin. We supply the resin in flakes, also known as shellac flakes. This dewaxed variety is more waterproof and durable than shellac containing wax. Shellac is soluble in alcohol, slightly soluble in acetone and ether and insoluble in water.
Application
Shellac is used to produce very high-quality polishes and sealers for furniture or other hard surfaces. To prepare a solution, we recommend mixing high-quality ethanol (96 %) with approx. 15 - 25 % shellac. The solution should then be well sealed so that the ethanol does not evaporate. Regular stirring or shaking will cause the shellac to dissolve completely within a few hours. The solution can also be kept well sealed for later use.
Notes
Shellac should be stored in a dry place and protected from heat. Please note that this product only meets food requirements in 25 kg containers.
