Canting (IPA: t͡ʃɑnʈɪŋ, VOS Spelling: tjanting, Javanese: ꦕꦤ꧀ꦛꦶꦁ, romanized: Canting) is a pen-like tool used to apply liquid hot wax (malam) in the batik-making process in Indonesia, more precisely batik tulis (lit.

Traditional canting is made of copper, bronze, zinc or iron material, however modern version might use teflon.
