Hand-Made Shellac

Hand-Made Shellac

The Hand-Made Shellac Flakes are obtained by the process of manual hot-filtration by using the Seedlac of a suitable grade as the raw material. The Seedlac is packed into a long, narrow sausage-shaped canvas bag held in place by two workers in front of an open charcoal fire of a Dutch-type oven. The Seedlac inside melts while the bag is twisted in the opposite direction to force out the molten Lac through the walls of the bag. The molten lac is spread out on a porcelain cylindrical jar containing boiling water by gradually stretching it into thin sheets which are then broken into small pieces to form Hand-Made shellac flakes which are aerated in a well-ventilated room before packing.  

We are one of the largest Hand-Made Shellac Flakes suppliers in India. We deal in several different grades of shellac flakes, manufactured and processed through rigorous industry standards to ensure export quality.
