A. Sticklac, usually consisting of twigs on which shellac has been deposited in more or less thick layers; it is dark red in color and is the most intensely colored grade of unrefined natural shellac.

B. Granulated shellac, crushed unrefined natural shellac separated from branches usually by washing, during which part of its coloring matter is removed.

C. Shellac, also known as flake, lamellate or slabbalac, obtained by melting and filtering, which purifies it. It takes the form of thin glass-like flakes of amber or reddish color. A similar product in disk form is known as "disk shellac".

This type of shellac is mostly used for preparing varnishes, in the electrical industry, and for the production of sealing wax.
