Product Description

Shellac Flakes

Shellac is a natural resin secreted by the lac insect on host plants. It is non-toxic, odorless, and features strong adhesion, insulation, moisture resistance, and a smooth, glossy finish. As an important industrial raw material, it is widely used in chemicals, metallurgy, machinery, woodwork, paper, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food, and other industries.

Main products include shellac flakes, colored shellac flakes, bleached shellac, and lac dye. The primary component is resin, along with wax, pigment, and other water-soluble substances, with composition varying by host tree, region, and season.

Application

Applications of Bleached Shellac

1. Food Industry

Edible coating for fruits, nuts, and confectionery. Protective layer to extend shelf life and prevent moisture loss

2. Cosmetics

Ingredient in nail polish, lip gloss, and hair sprays. Enhances adhesion, gloss, and durability of cosmetic products

3. Industrial Uses

Electrical insulation materials. Varnishes and protective coatings for wood or metal surfaces. Provides water, oil, and acid resistance

Key properties:

1. The only natural thermosetting resin — soluble in alcohol at room temperature but insoluble after heating at 125 °C for 3 hours.
2. Insoluble in water but dissolves in alcohol and organic solvents, forming fast-drying, glossy, durable, and adhesive films with elasticity and protective effects (waterproof, moisture-proof, rust-resistant, and anti-corrosive).
3. Resistant to UV light.
4. Strong adhesion in alkaline solution.
5. A good electrical insulator with low thermal expansion.
