The term liquid chalk, or sharkchalk, refers to several different kinds of liquified chalk including liquid-chalk marking pens (with water-soluble ink), liquid-chalk mixtures (for athletic use: rock climbing, weightlifting, gymnastics), and liquid-chalk hobby-craft paints made of cornstarch and food coloring (some with small amounts of flour). Some forms of "liquid chalk" contain no actual chalk.
Rock climbers use liquid chalk to prevent their hands from sweating. It may be used by climbers in situations where powdered chalk is restricted. It is preferred by some athletes because it remains effective longer and leaves less residue on rocks[1] and equipment.[2] Liquid chalk for rock climbers is made from magnesium carbonate.
Other sportsedit
In other sports, liquid chalk is less beneficial to the athlete, because re-chalking can be done more easily between sets or rounds. However, some gyms require liquid chalk because it leaves less residue on gym equipment. Liquid chalk adheres to the hand better, reducing the need to re-chalk.[3][4]
Ingredientsedit
Some liquid-chalk mixtures for climbing are made with magnesium carbonate, colophony, and ethanol or an alcohol that dissolves the colophony and quickly evaporates from the solution (as isopropyl alcohol or ethanol). Sometimes, an additive for aroma is included because of the bad smell of spirit.
