Rite Price Industrial only stocks shellac flakes that are of the highest grade and purity. High-purity shellac flakes make for superior bonding to surfaces and a higher concentration of active resin. Active resin creates a durable film that protects against degradation. High-grade shellac flakes are more uniform in colour as a result of being free from impurities, meaning that they dissolve completely to create a solution that is free of streaks, unevenness, or irregularities.
Our high-quality shellac benefits from super-strong adhesion and a consistent finish.
How to Use Shellac Flakes
Shellac flakes are loved by tradies for their versatility across a wide range of applications. They are commonly used for woodworking, furniture restoration, flooring protection, and instrument finishing. Shellac is also a natural sealant and clear industrial coating.
Tradies specifically use shellac for its sealing, priming, and finishing attributes, as it can create a high-gloss coating that is also durable and strong.
What are the primary industrial applications for shellac flakes?
Shellac flakes can be used in woodworking; they are dissolved in alcohol or other solvents to create finishes, coatings, and adhesives.
How do I choose the correct type of shellac flakes for wood finishing?
Depending on the desired colour and whether you need dewaxed or waxed shellac for wood finishing, we recommend a blonde or white shellac. An amber, garnet, or even ruby shellac can be used to achieve a warmer tone.
Are there bulk purchase options available for shellac flakes?
Yes. We offer wholesale prices and bulk buy discounts across many of our items, including shellac flakes. Contact us to find out more.
What are the benefits of using shellac flakes over synthetic finishes?
Shellac flakes have several benefits over synthetic finishes like polyurethane. Shellac is fast-drying, organic, non-toxic, and biodegradable. Dewaxed shellac is also a superior sealant and primer that can be top-coated with virtually any other finish. New coats of shellac will also melt into existing layers, so you don’t have to worry about stripping or reapplication during repairs or touch-ups.
How long do shellac flakes last?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place, shellac flakes can last indefinitely. However, a mixed shellac solution will last 6-12 months.
