Shellac Sheet Introduction

Shellac Sheet, also known as Lac Sheet, is a natural animal resin refined from the secretion of lac insects parasitizing host trees.

It is golden to brownish yellow transparent brittle flakes, easily soluble in absolute ethanol and insoluble in water. It features excellent film-forming property, strong adhesion, insulation, corrosion resistance, moisture-proof, insect-proof and natural gloss, non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Widely used for wood furniture polishing, musical instrument finishing, leather brightening, ink and coatings, pharmaceutical & food coating, electronic insulation and bonding industries.

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, military, 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.

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. Resistant to hydrocarbons such as gasoline (oil-proof).

6. A good electrical insulator with low thermal expansion.

7. With advanced processing technology, our shellac flakes match Indian products in quality—transparent, abrasion-resistant, easily soluble in alcohol, fast-drying, oil- and acid-resistant, highly plastic, and excellent in color-fixing.
