About
The term “Button” describes the refined Lac resin in the form of small circular discs having diameter of about 20-30 mm.
The Lac Button is obtained by the process of manual hot-filtration, whereas the Seedlac of a suitable grade is used as the raw material.
The Seedlac is packed into a long, narrow sausage-shaped canvas bag held in place by two workers in front of an open charcoal fire of the Dutch Oven type. The Seedlac inside melts and the workers twist the bag in opposite direction so that the molten Lac is forced out through the walls of the bag.
The molten Lac is then scrapped and spread out on flat steel plates in the form of Circular discs. This operation is carried out in front of charcoal fire to keep the resin plastic.
