GUM DAMAR
Shorea javanica
Premium Natural Resin: The Versatility of Gum Damar
Gum Damar is a high-grade organic exudate harvested from the Dipterocarpaceae tree family, appearing as crystalline or fossilized resin tears known for their exceptional clarity and adhesive properties. This natural resin serves as an indispensable raw material in the manufacturing of high-quality varnishes, specialized inks, food glazing agents, and aromatic incense. By implementing sophisticated sorting and cleaning protocols, we ensure that the resin retains its pristine quality and high melting point, fulfilling the technical specifications required for complex industrial and artisanal applications.
Sustainable Harvesting and Regional Synergy
The procurement of our Gum Damar is strategically focused on the lush, tropical forests of the Indonesian archipelago, particularly in regions where the Shorea species thrives in its native habitat. We prioritize traditional tapping methods that ensure the long-term health of the trees, allowing for a sustainable and renewable harvest of this precious resin. This commitment to botanical integrity ensures that our raw materials possess the superior clarity and chemical stability that define premium-grade Indonesian Damar.
