Dewaxed Shellac Flakes Supplier & Distributor In India
Chemical Bull is a Dewaxed Shellac Flakes supplier, distributor, and exporter in India, supporting sourcing for wood coating manufacturers, varnish producers, polish formulators, printing companies, specialty coating processors, and bulk industrial buyers.
Dewaxed Shellac Flakes, CAS 9000-59-3, are a refined natural resin with reduced wax content. They are used in suitable wood finishes, sealers, varnishes, and specialty coatings. Buyers comparing manufacturer specifications can request colour-grade details, bulk pricing, and technical documentation.
Overview of Dewaxed Shellac Flakes
Shellac is refined from lac, the resinous secretion of the lac insect, Kerria lacca. Dewaxing removes most of the naturally occurring wax and insoluble impurities. The refined resin is processed into thin, brittle flakes.
Dewaxed Shellac is available in different colour grades, including blonde, lemon, orange, and garnet. Dewaxed does not automatically mean bleached or colourless. Select the grade according to the required appearance and application.
The flakes dissolve in suitable alcohol systems and can be formulated into aqueous alkaline solutions. Buyers should review residual wax, colour, moisture, ash, alcohol-insoluble matter, acid value, and dissolution behavior. Shellac is a natural resin mixture and does not have one fixed molecular formula or molecular weight.
Applications of Dewaxed Shellac Flakes
Wood Finishes & French Polish
Dewaxed Shellac is used in selected furniture finishes and French polish formulations. Colour grade, solution concentration, and application method influence the appearance and build of the finished film.
Sealers & Intermediate Coats
Suitable formulations are used as sealers or intermediate coats beneath other finishes. Removing wax can improve adhesion of subsequent coatings, but compatibility should be tested with the actual substrate and topcoat.
Varnishes & Polishes
The resin is used in selected varnishes and polishes requiring film formation and gloss. Manufacturers should evaluate colour, drying behavior, adhesion, and resistance to the intended service conditions.
Printing & Specialty Coatings
Appropriately selected grades are used in printing and specialty coating systems as film-forming or binding ingredients. Grade approval should assess solvent compatibility, viscosity, substrate adhesion, and finished-product performance.
Dewaxed Shellac Flakes Price & Bulk Supply
Dewaxed Shellac Flakes pricing depends on the manufacturer, colour grade, refining method, residual wax, impurity limits, order quantity, packaging, freight, and delivery destination.
Chemical Bull supports requests for product specifications, batch-specific COA, TDS, MSDS or SDS, packaging details, and export documentation for the offered grade.
Share your preferred pack size and approved specification to discuss supply options. Minimum order quantity, availability, and lead time are confirmed during quotation. Food or pharmaceutical applications require separately qualified material and documentation.

Dewaxed Shellac Flakes MSDS & Handling
Avoid inhalation of dust generated during crushing or handling and prevent direct eye contact. Use suitable ventilation, protective gloves, and safety goggles according to the supplied SDS.
Store flakes in securely closed packaging under the manufacturer’s specified conditions. Protect the resin from excessive heat, moisture, and contamination. Confirm the shelf life or retest period because storage history can affect dissolution and coating performance.
Alcohol-based shellac solutions require suitable flammable-liquid controls. Review the solvent SDS alongside the resin SDS before solution preparation, processing, storage, or transportation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are Dewaxed Shellac Flakes?
They are refined shellac resin flakes processed to remove most of the naturally occurring wax and insoluble impurities.
-
What is the CAS number of Shellac?
Shellac is commonly identified by CAS number 9000-59-3. Confirm the grade and composition on the offered specification and SDS.
-
Why choose dewaxed rather than wax-containing shellac?
Dewaxed grades are often preferred where another coating will be applied because reduced wax can improve topcoat adhesion. Test compatibility with the complete finishing system.
-
Are all Dewaxed Shellac Flakes food or pharmaceutical grade?
No. Dewaxing alone does not establish suitability for these applications. Buyers must specify the required grade, applicable standard, and supporting documentation.
-
Where can I buy Dewaxed Shellac Flakes in bulk?
Chemical Bull supports supply enquiries in India and export markets. Share your colour grade, specification, quantity, application, packaging, and destination to request pricing, COA, TDS, and SDS.
