Lemon One is a traditionally hand-crafted shellac grade, meticulously produced from select Seedlac using age-old Indian techniques. This variant derives its name from its characteristic lemon-yellow hue, which is lighter and brighter than standard grades, making it particularly suitable for premium surface finishes where color tone and clarity are paramount. The preparation involves pressing molten lac resin through fine cloth under heat and pressure, and shaping it into manageable thin flakes or layers—preserving the natural resins without introducing synthetic additives or impurities.
Recognized for its consistent quality, Lemon One strikes a perfect balance between color brilliance, low insolubility, and ease of processing. Its purity and tone make it an excellent candidate for clear wood coatings, heritage restoration work, and specialty food or cosmetic use.
Highly favored in European, North American, and Japanese markets, Lemon One is an eco-conscious choice, catering to industries that demand sustainability, traceability, and manual craftsmanship.
