Aadhya SB 20 confectioner's glaze is considering all of these variants and offers the suitable coating for all of them: Chocolate products receive an attractive appearance; the shine remains stable even under mechanical strain. High resistance to temperature and air moisture, as well as shorter process times due to ready-to-use products, are further benefits. In addition, centers are optimally prepared for the coating process.
Aadhya SB 20 confectioner’s glazes create an attractive, protective gloss finish for a variety of confections. These odorless and tasteless finishing agents provide many benefits:

Water Based Shellac Solution or Varnish

Clear aqueous shellac solution or varnish provides
(l) A clear aqueous shellac solution or varnish
(2) A shellac solution or varnish capable of yielding tough adhesive, permanently flexible water-resistant films.
(3) A shellac-solution or varnish which is adapted to be further modified by the incorporation therein of suitable pigments, fillers, extenders, and other substances to provide paints, pastes, and other useful products. In other words, a clear shellac solution or varnish is useful in and of itself as a coating composition or adhesive but also as a vehicle for other products such as paints, etc.
Aqueous shellac solutions have been and are generally used as leather and shoe dressings, paper and metal coatings, lithographic varnishes, floor waxes, inks and the like. Clear aqueous shellac varnishes which are highly adhesive in character and yield water resistant films on evaporation.
Due to the swelling action of water on wood, these shellac varnishes should not be used on unprimed wood. However, they can be used over a rosin or drying oil primer to produce a finish comparing favorably with that obtained from a non-aqueous alcohol shellac varnish. They are equally suitable for coating metal and paper objects and as a binder for drawing and printing inks.
Furthermore, they are especially suitable for coating stone, plaster, brick or other porous surfaces. Since they are not affected by further dilution with water, they can be applied to damp concrete or plaster walls. When applied to brick, concrete or plaster walls the varnishes described in this application usually dry to produce a tough tenacious film which does not lift or peel as does a drying oil or varnish film when applied to this type of surface.

Fruit coating

Fruit waxing is the process of covering fruits (and in some cases vegetables) with artificial waxing material. Natural wax is removed first, usually by washing. Waxing materials may be either natural or petroleum-based.


Food production and preservation is an important social issue of increasing concern from ancient time onwards and deserves allocation of more research efforts to investigate the preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables. As per National Food Safety Database of Wax Coatings on Fruits and Vegetables, US, 1914, waxing is very common in fruits and vegetables for different roles and applications. Major losses in quality and quantity of fresh fruits which occur between harvest and consumption can be overcome by coating as it can provide an alternative to storage by reducing quality changes and quantity losses through control of internal atmosphere of the individual fruit.
