SHELLAC ORANGE FLAKES 200 G

Description

Shellac Orange Flakes 200 g
Shellac is the purified, processed, resinous secretion of the tiny East Asian stick louse.
Shellac is the only commercially used natural resin of animal original.
Solvent extraction process:
Dewaxed leaf shellacs have been produced using the solvent extraction process since 1872.
Carefully selected grain varnishes are dissolved in ethanol (from sugar cane distillation). The shellac wax and impurities are removed by various filtration stages before the dye contained in the shellac is more or less reduced by the action of activated carbon, depending on the color.After the alcohol has been evaporated (and recovered), the liquid shellac is drawn onto a roll-off tape to form a thin film that breaks when it cools down and gives the typical leaf structure.
The solvent extraction process is a very gentle and environmentally friendly process for the production of shellac
.
Characteristics:
- UV-resistant- hard, amorphous resin with high internal elasticity- biodegradable- well soluble in org. Solvents such as ethanol, methanol, propanol, iso-propanol, n-butanol, but insoluble in acetone, esters and aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons- excellent film-forming properties- results in smooth, high-gloss surfaces- good electrical properties such as high dielectric strength, low dielectric constant and good tracking resistance.
Use:
- Polish for furniture
- Protective coating on metals
- Sealing wax- Separating layer for castings, insulating layer for plaster molds
- Isolation of wax (resin) fillings
