Aadhya Aleuritic Acid

Aleuritic Acid

Aleuritic Acid (9, 10, 16-trihydroxypalmitic acid), obtained from shellac by Saponification, is a unique acid containing three hydroxyl groups of which two are of adjacent carbon atoms.

Technical grade Aleuritic Acid (purity 99%) is  a slight yellow and almost odorless solid .There is a continuous growing demand of aleuritic acid in the fields of perfumery and pharmaceuticals due to its being an excellent starting material for the synthesis of civetone, Ambrettolide, isoambrettolide  etc, which have the musk like odor Civetone

Civetone is obtained from Shellac Aleuritic Acid, and is used for manufacturing of Perfumes. Civetone is fast growing and is very much in demand with perfume manufacturing companies such as France, Italy, Germany, USA etc.

Aadhya Button Lac

Shellac Button

Caramel Amber tones develops rich warm amber tones on woods like mahogany, red oak, cherry and douglas fir.

The heat during button processing polymerizes the resin, resulting in a tough abrasion and moisture resistant finishing material. Button shellacs are preferred for finishing floors, interior woodwork and by many French polishers.

Aadhya Button Shellac is the main ingredient used by furniture restorers when making Button French Polish. Button Shellac will produce a golden brown colored French polish, regularly used by restorers when polishing antique furniture or bespoke joinery manufacturers in the production of dark wooden furniture.

Application and Uses

·         Wood Finish

Shellac is used as a barrier or primer coat on wood to prevent the bleeding of resin or pigments into the final finish, or to prevent wood stain from blotching. Shellac varnish is simple and convenience for use. With the features of strong force of adhesion, dry rapidly, smoothly coating, full of elasticity, uniform luster, it is widely used in the wooden ware industry. Instead of using methanol lacquer, Shellac varnish is applied more frequently in exclusive furniture in recent years, because the methanol lacquer is toxic to human beings. Shellac is the central element of the traditional “French polish” method of finishing furniture and fine viols, guitars and pianos.

·         Fruit Waxing

Shellac is edible and it is used as coating agent for fruit to extend the shelf life and also used as a glazing agent on pills and candies. Because of its alkaline properties, Shellac-coated pills may be used for a timed enteric or colonic release. It is also used to replace the natural wax of the apple, which is removed during the cleaning process.

·         Leather Protection

·          

Shellac is used as polish and protective coating agent in the leather industry.

·         Military Industry

Shellac is used in the military industry mainly as a finishing agent, insulation material and blocker for mixed gunpowder. It is also used to produce UV –proof and radiation-proof military materials.

·         Electrical Industry

Shellac is used in producing insulating cardboard and micanite, grinding electrical insulator, and also used in the insulating varnish, bulb, daylight lamp and electric tube cement.

·         Rubber Industry

Shellac is mainly used as the surface coating and bulking agent of rubber products, so as to enhance the abrasion-resistance, oil-resistance, acid-resistance, waterproof and insulativity. It can slow down the aging rate, extend expire date and improve the physic and mechanical properties like tension stress and tear resistance of rubber as well.

·         Paper Sizing

Shellac is used to produce insulating paper, dunnage paper. Shellac also used as a decorative and protective finish in coated paper, food wrapper and lampshade paper, etc.

·         Others

Shellac could be used to produce small molded goods like picture frames, boxes, toilet articles, jewelry, inkwells and even dentures. It is used by many cyclists as a protective and decorative coating for their handlebar tape. Shellac is used as a hard-drying adhesive for tubular cycle tires, particularly for track racing. Sheets of Braille were coated with Shellac to help protect them from wear due to being read by hand. And Shellac is used as a binder in India ink. It was historically used as a protective coating on paintings. It is an odor and stains blocker, and can provide an excellent barrier against water vapor penetration. Shellac-based primers are an effective sealant to control odors associated with fire damage. Shellac finds a use in pyrotechnic compositions as a low-temperature fuel, where it allows the creation of pure ‘greens’ and ‘blues’, colors difficult to achieve with other fuel mixes in fireworks formulae.

Aadhya Shellac Flakes

Shellac Flakes

Shellac 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 cosmetic, drug and food industry. 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.
