Superior Lemon

Superior Lemon Shellac is a premium-grade, hand-crafted natural resin processed through traditional Indian methods. Derived from carefully selected Seedlac, this shellac is produced using time-honored manual techniques, where the lac is extracted through a heat-and-pressure process using cotton cloth filters and open charcoal fire. The final product is then skillfully formed into thin sheets by experienced artisans. The result is a highly refined, clean, and visually appealing lemon-colored shellac, known for its purity, gloss, and film-forming capabilities.

Renowned for its bright tone, clarity, and low impurity content, Superior Lemon Shellac stands out as an ideal choice for high-quality wood finishing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food-grade applications. Its superior characteristics and consistent quality have made it a popular export to discerning markets such as the United States, Germany, Japan, and others where only the finest hand-made shellac grades are acceptable.
