Light Pure Buttonlac

Light Pure Buttonlac is a premium hand-made shellac, carefully crafted through traditional Indian methods using high-quality Seedlac. The process involves pressing melted lac resin through a cloth filter over a charcoal fire, then collecting and molding it into button-like forms. What distinguishes this grade is its lighter natural coloration, lower impurity content, and uniform appearance, making it ideal for applications requiring both aesthetic appeal and performance purity.

The “Buttonlac” form provides additional advantages, such as extended shelf life, easier storage, and efficient dosing for remelting in various manufacturing processes. Known for its consistent flow characteristics and refined clarity, Light Pure Buttonlac is widely used across industries like wood finishing, natural varnishes, electronics, cosmetics, and food processing.

This grade enjoys particular demand in international markets that value eco-friendly, hand-crafted raw materials, including the U.S., Europe, and East Asia.
