SEEDLAC is the least processed shellac. All other shellacs are made from this raw seedlac resin.
The insect feeds on the sap of the tree and secretes the Lac as a protective shell in which the females lay their eggs.

Seedlac comes from the branches that are covered by the Lac resin left by the lac bug, known as sticklac.
The sticklac is crushed to yield the seedlac. The Seedlac is sieved to remove organic materials, washed, and dried in open aMaking  Button Shellacir.

BUTTON Shellac:
has the toughness and mar resistance that makes it the preferred shellac
for finishing floors, interior woodwork, and French polishing musical instruments.
Seedlac is heated by a charcoal hearth in a canvas tube, as the resin oozes from the canvas,
it is placed on a steel plate, and the buttons form. All Button Shellac contain a small
percentage of the natural shellac wax.

Waxy Shellac

are processed directly from raw Seed-lac. The waxy Lac varieties (shellacs) retain their natural color and wax content.
Wax content provides some flexibility & moisture resistance.
Seed Lacs, Button Lacs, Handmade Lac, and some Flake Lac are all waxy varieties.
'Waxy' shellacs are a good choice when the finish will be shellac only.

Use a DEWAXED Shellac for a universal sealer/primer and as a transitional coating between dissimilar finishes.
Use a Dewaxed Shellac when the topcoat, for extra water & alcohol resistance, will be a varnish, lacquer, or urethane.

SHELLAC WAX
Click above for more information
SHELLAC WAX
Shellac Wax is produced during refining of Seedlac
(which contains around 5% wax) into
Dewaxed Shellac (that contains up to 0.2% wax).
The wax is removed by filtration and recovered. 
Shellac Wax is the second hardest natural wax after Carnauba Wax
and has a melting point range of 77–86 degrees Celsius.
It has similar high gloss polishing properties to Carnauba Wax
and Candelilla Wax.

SEED LAC is the least processed shellac. All other shellacs are made from this raw seedlac resin.
The insect feeds on the sap of the tree and secretes the Lac as a protective shell in which the female lay their eggs.

Seedlac is made from the branches that are covered by the Lac resin left by the lac bug, known as sticklac.
The sticklac is crushed to yield the seedlac.  The Seedlac is sieved to remove organic materials, washed and dried in open air.Making Button Lac

 

BUTTON Shellac
has toughness and mar resistance that makes it the preferred shellac for
finishing floors,
interior woodwork and French polishing musical instruments.
Heating the seed to form buttons polymerizes the shellac resin to yield a more
scuff and abrasion resistant shellac.


Waxy Shellac

are processed directly from raw Seed-lac. The waxy Lac varieties (shellacs) retain their natural color and wax content.
Wax content provides some flexibility & moisture resistance.
Seed Lacs, Button Lacs, Handmade Lac, and some Flakes are all waxy varieties.
'Waxy' shellacs are a good choice when the finish will be shellac only.

Use a DEWAXED Shellac to make a universal sealer / primer and as a transitional coating between dissimilar finishes.
Use a Dewaxed Shellac when the topcoat, for extra water & alcohol resistance, will be a varnish, lacquer or urethane.


The Story of Shellac
by Zinsser Co., Inc.
In celebration of 155 years manufacturing shellac, Zinsser revised this booklet in 2004,
which was first published in 1913
and reprinted seventeen times throughout the years.
