Applications of Shellac

Shellac is a remarkably versatile natural resin with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as an excellent coating agent for tablets and capsules, offering controlled release and moisture protection. In the food and confectionery sector, shellac is used as a natural glaze for candies, fruits, and chocolates, providing a glossy, protective finish. Its excellent insulating properties make it ideal for use in the electrical industry for coating wires and components. In woodworking and furniture, shellac is prized as a high-quality, fast-drying polish that enhances grain and provides a warm finish. Additionally, it is used in cosmetics, printing inks, paint formulations, and agriculture, highlighting its adaptability and sustainable origin.

Sitaram Saraf – Leading Shellac Exporter from India to the World

Shellac is a natural resin with centuries of heritage and modern global demand. Produced by the lac insect (Kerria lacca), it is a sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable material trusted across industries. From pharmaceutical coatings in the USA to food glazing in Europe, and from wood finishing in the Middle East to cosmetic applications in Asia, shellac remains a material of choice worldwide.

But what global buyers need is not just a product—they need a trusted exporter who guarantees quality, compliance, and on-time delivery. That’s where Sitaram Saraf stands out as one of India’s most reliable shellac exporters to every major global market.
