SHELLAC FLAKES

Shellac Flakes

Shellac or Schellack or Lac is 100% natural. Shellac is 100% non toxic and FDA approved. Shellac is a kind of non-toxic natural gum resin dissolves in a wide variety of alkaline or rapidly drying alcoholic solvents but is resistant to a number of other solvents particularly hydrocarbons. The low thermal conductivity and a small coefficient of expansion cause shellac to lead to a powerful bonding material.
Shellac is perfect for antique restoration, furniture refinishing, casework, architectural woodwork, toys and general woodworking.
Shellac is widely used in the confectioners , cosmetic, drug and food industry. When used in food and confections, it is also known as confectioner's glaze, candy glaze, resinous glaze, pure food glaze, natural glaze, confectioner's resin or shellac glaze.It is the only finish that should be used on children’s furniture due to its non toxicity!
Shellac is processed and sold as dry flakes and dissolved in ethanol to make liquid shellac, which is used as a brush-on colorant, food glaze and wood finish. Shellac functions as a tough natural primer, sanding sealant, tannin-blocker, odour-blocker, stain, and high-gloss varnish.

confectionery glaze

Confectioner’s glaze, the name often used for shellac by candy makers, is composed of approximately 35% shellac (purified lac resin). The rest are volatile organic compounds which evaporate off during manufacture. In foods, shellac is most commonly used as a coating or glaze on confections, chewing gum, fruit, and coffee beans. Lac dye, red like carmine, may be used as a coloring in foods and beverages. As a general rule, any hard-coated, shiny candy contains a shellac coating or glaze (M&Ms™ is one notable exception.) Shellac may appear on the label under different names. The two most common ones in use today are “resinous glaze” or “confectioner’s glaze.” In general, all Easter candy (eggs and jelly beans) are coated. Halloween candy (candy corn) is as well. There are many who use it, even on candies that you may not suspect to be coated with it. Below is a partial list.
