The Japanese Seshime urushi (raw lacquer) is used among others for the manufacture of adhesives and fillers. In the Japanese lacquer technique, he also serves as a primer with various additives.

Note:

Earlier, Seshime urushi (branch lacquer) was obtained from the thin branches of the lacquer tree. Today, Seshime urushi varnishes from various import raw lacquers and is therefore only a trademark for Ki urushi (raw lacquer).

Advice on health and labor protection

1. The liquid Japanese lacquer can cause skin allergic reactions, so avoid skin contact with Urushi.

2. When handling the Urushi latex or nitrile gloves should necessarily be worn!

3. The work surface and possibly in contact with Urushi Advised skin should be cleaned immediately with Wundbenzien or organic solvents such as alcohol or acetone. Then cleaning is strongly discouraged with rapseed oil before it is washed with water and plenty of soap.

4. The work area should be well ventilated.

5. Tools such as spatulas after work should be given in a Humidity cabinet because Urushi cures in a humid environment. Brushes can be cleaned with rapseed oil or acetone. Of course with oil purified tools must not be given in the Humidity cabinet.
