DAMAR BATU
Botanical Name : Shorea Javanica/Meranti
H.S.No : 1301.90.2000
Damar Batu is a yellowish – brown colored, stone-shaped hard resin, obtained from a particular variety of the dipterocarp species.
The resin is obtained through collection of the hardened resin exudates lying below the ground in fossilized form, close to the tree
roots. The collected resin is then cleaned to remove mud and dirt residue and then sun dried.
The quality of commercially traded Damar Batu is determined mainly by the size of the resin pieces, their colour and the amount of
damar dust accompanying each lot. Larger sized pieces (above 3 inches) of yellow to brown colour 5% dust are considered to be of
higher quality (Super/Bombay quality). This quality may then be sub-classified as scraped or unscraped. Scraping of the Damar
Batu basically means that additional cleaning is done to each piece to remove external dirt. Small sized pieces (about 1 inch) of
yellow to brownish-black colour with up to 20% dust are normally found in the low quality range (Mixed/Calcutta quality).
USES : Inks, Polishes, Varnishes, water resistant coatings, injection moulding materials, for caulking boats and
baskets, incense, natural mosquito, Ayurvedic medicine etc.
