Rigorous selection

The resins are of varying quality, mainly depending on their urushiol content which is the main active component of the lacquer. Therefore S.T.Dupont carefully chooses resins in Japan and Taiwan which have the requirements of a great lacquer.
Each batch of lacquer possesses its own unique character.
S.T.Dupont maintains a three-year stock of lacquer in order to ensure the availability of a high quality lacquer.
