Seedlac
Seedlac is the first and purest processed form of raw lac resin, harvested from the Kerria lacca insect on host trees across the forests of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. Raw sticklac is crushed, sieved through mesh screens to remove insect fragments and wood particles, then washed to produce clean granular seedlac.
As the essential base material for all shellac products, seedlac retains the natural wax content of lac (3–5%) and is the preferred raw material for manufacturers who process it further into shellac flakes or dewaxed shellac. It is also used directly in varnishes, adhesives, traditional lacquerwork and electrical insulation. We supply in 20, 40 and 60 mesh grades from our processing facility in Nawada, Bihar.
