“…The quality of batik wax has been defined based on several criteria as follows; latching or adherence power, resistance against cracking, alkaline chemicals and colorant diffusion in the cold and warm dye solution, pliability, ability to render designs with sharp lines, the color wax stain, ease of removal from fabric, ease of solidification, stickiness, ease of melting, ease of use, and cost (Kudiya et al, 2014; Kusumawati et al, 2017). The batik waxes used in Indonesia consist of a mixture of shorea javanica ( damar mata kucing ), pine gum ( gondorukem ), beeswax, coconut oil, animal fat, lancing wax, and paraffin (Malik et al, 2018). In comparison, the batik artisans in Malaysia use batik resist materials that are mainly made from varying ratios of beeswax, paraffin, dammar, and vegetable oil.…”
