Gum Shellac is the only resin of animal origin and not vegetable ones; it is produced by insects of the group of the “Coccidi” common in India and Indonesia. It occurs as flakes or irregular lamellae, coloured from yellowish to amber, from orange to brown. Gum Shellac contains wax (approx. 5%); it is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol. It gives elastic, glossy and adhesive films, which become insoluble and darker with ageing. It is used as a final varnish for furniture and wooden objects and as a protective coating for gold leaves. It is also available in the dewaxed version, from which it takes the name.
