About Shellac

A natural resin with global industrial demand

Shellac is a natural resin excreted by the Kerria lacca insect, harvested primarily in India. It is non-toxic, thermoplastic, and one of the very few resins approved for direct food contact.

Non-Toxic & Food-Safe

Physiologically harmless and approved for food-contact applications including fruit and confectionery glazing.

Excellent Film-Forming

Forms smooth, high-gloss films with strong solvent resistance and dielectric properties valued in coatings.

Versatile Derivatives

Processed into seedlac, shellac wax and aleuritic acid — each with distinct industrial applications.

From the Source

Seedlac: the raw material behind every grade

Seedlac is the raw, unrefined resin excreted by the lac insect, containing natural resin, wax and organic matter. It is the foundational material for every shellac grade and derivative we export, refined into six grades that differ by wax content, colour index and permissible impurity levels.
