What is schellack nedir?

Schellack is the Turkish term for shellac, a resinous and yellow-brown coloured substance derived from the secretions of the female lac bug native to India and Thailand. This natural polymer resin is commonly used in varnishes, coatings, and adhesives, as well as in the production of phonograph records, electrical insulators, and food glazes. Shellac is also used in the making of traditional Indian and Middle Eastern musical instruments such as the sitar and oud. The production of shellac involves a complex process of harvesting, refining, and purifying the resin, and can vary in quality and composition depending on the region and species of the lac bug.
