Whiting Powder
Description
Whiting powder is also naturally occurring calcium carbonate. It exists in amorphous form where as calcite exists in crystalline form. Its amorphous form gives tremendous suspending powder in coatings. It's also known as Chalk powder.
RMCL's optimum quality whiting powder is manufactured using naturally occurred calcium carbonate which is available in amorphous form. Owing to the tremendous suspending power, whiting powder is widely used in various applications like cleaning flux, oil, cement and other residue from stained glass projects.
