Application Shellac was used as a wood polish for music instruments and furniture and later for uses in antifouling paints for ships, phonographic records, wood and wallpaper paints, printing inks, resins for electrical applications, floor polishes, etc. Over the years the use of shellac in some of theses applications disappeared. New applications like the coating of fruits and vegetables, food and confections, pills, tablets, vitamins in the pharmaceutical industry are important uses for shellac today, in addition to continued use in woodcoatings, printing inks, leather finishes, stone polishing etc. New modified shellac resins are of great interest for waterbased coatings and water-based printing inks. More recently, as a new awareness about the environment and the toxicity of chemical raw materials is noticeable everywhere, shellac or shellac modified resins are gaining importance due to their interesting and unique characteristics. Shellacs nontoxic and physiologically harmless characteristics as well as watersolubility, biological degration, filmforming properties, excellent adhesion, hardness, high gloss, superior electrical properties, compatibility with other resins, crosslinking properties, etc. allow many new applications along with a renaissance of certain uses in industries it once dominated.
