WAX-FREE SHELLAQUE IN FLAKES - GIUSTO MANETTI
Dewaxed and bleached shellac represents the most refined and pure form of this natural resin, produced by the female lac insect. Through a double processing process – the removal of the natural wax and the bleaching of the color – a material of exceptional clarity and purity is obtained, ideal for the most demanding applications.
Key Features and Benefits:
Absolute Clarity & Color Neutrality: The main advantage of this form is the almost complete absence of color and haze. It is the ideal choice for finishes on very light-colored woods, on surfaces where you do not want any color change, or as an intermediate layer that does not affect the shade of the final coatings.
Natural Origin & High Purity: Despite the intensive processing, it maintains its natural character, offering a non-toxic and environmentally friendly finishing solution.
Versatile Application: It is widely used as a wood varnish (especially on antique furniture and musical instruments), as a primer, as a sealer for porous surfaces, and in various other artistic and industrial applications.
Excellent Compatibility: Due to the removal of both wax and color, dewaxed and bleached shellac exhibits higher compatibility and excellent adhesion with almost all other types of varnishes and topcoats (e.g., polyurethanes, water-based varnishes), without adhesion or haze problems.
Excellent Protection: It creates a hard, durable film that protects surfaces from moisture, stains, and wear.
Fast Drying: It dries relatively quickly, allowing the application of multiple coats in a short period of time.
Ease of Repair: Damage to waxed and bleached shellac can be easily repaired by applying a new coat, without having to remove the existing finish.
Directions for Use & Storage:
Dilution Ratio: For best results, mix approximately 1 part waxed & bleached shellac to 3 parts alcohol. The exact ratio can be adjusted depending on the desired consistency and application.
Storage:Store waxed & bleached shellac in a cool, dry place, in its original, tightly closed container. Keep away from direct light and heat sources. Ideal storage temperatures are 15-25°C, with humidity below 50%. Although not sensitive to cold, heat may cause the product to deteriorate.
Application Note: The dilution rate, application method (e.g. brush, cloth, spray) and amount applied can significantly affect the workability time and the final result. To achieve the optimal finish on the surface you are treating, it is recommended to experiment with different methods and ratios.
The process is easy and fast.
