Agarwood Resin

At Agarwood Nusantara, we produce high-quality agarwood resin (gaharu extract) using the finest raw materials sourced from Meroke, Borneo (Kalimantan), and Sumatra. Our resin is obtained through a solvent-based extraction process using methanol as the carrier medium—no chemical additives, preservatives, or enhancers are involved.

100% Natural Agarwood Resin – Solid & Semi-Solid

The result is a 100% natural resin, categorized into two types based on texture:

• Solid Resin – fully dehydrated and firm

• Semi-Solid Resin – slightly pliable with minimal moisture content

There is ongoing discussion in technical circles as to whether the slight pliability in semi-solid resin is caused by residual moisture or trace levels of residual methanol solvent. However, we guarantee that no additional chemicals or enhancers are used in our formulation.

Meroke

Our standard product is semi-solid, designed specifically to match customer preferences, especially in markets where slight elasticity indicates freshness and ease of formulation.
✅ Moisture content : less than 5% – safely within the acceptable threshold for international trade.

Custom-Mixed Agarwood Resin – Tailored Aromas & Reduced Cost

For clients who find pure agarwood resin pricing too high, we offer custom-mixed agarwood resin—a formulation combining pure gaharu extract with other fragrant tree resins tailored to your target aroma.

Packing & Handling Guidelines

To preserve quality and prevent degradation, our resin is packed in 12 kg high-grade polyethylene bags, then sealed in airtight containers to avoid :

• Fungal growth

• Aroma alteration

• Physical contamination

Key Handling Instructions :

We strictly adhere to international export regulations and best practices to prevent leakage or spoilage during long-haul transport.

Our Extraction & Production Process

We use advanced extraction units designed for methanol-based processing of agarwood chips. The machinery allows for:

• High-efficiency separation of resin from biomass

• Temperature-controlled extraction to preserve volatile compounds

• Safe, sustainable, and eco-conscious operation
