Magnesium Flint
Chalk Powder is obtained from chalk which is a white porous soft sedimentary rock, a type of limestone which is composed of the mineral calcite. Chalk is the gradual accumulation of tiny calcite plates which form under deep marine conditions. Chalk may contain other materials such as Chert and flint nodules which are embedded within it. Other compounds referring to chalk are calcium sulphate and magnesium silicate.
Because chalk is fairly resistant to slumping and erosion, it can be found forming tall steep cliffs especially on some coastlines where chalk ridges meet the sea. Chalk is quite porous and so can absorb and hold large volumes of water which provides natural reservoirs that slowly release the water through dry seasons.
Chalk is mainly made up of calcium carbonate and small amounts of clay and silt. It is commonly found underwater and very often on the sea bed where it is formed by compression during digenesis into the soft white sedimentary rock we see today.
Chalk can have many uses and some of these will include;
• Sidewalk chalk
• Blackboard chalk
• Agriculture uses
• Powdered chalk
Powdered chalk is used for many types of applications and can be commonly used to mark out the boundaries of sports arenas such as tennis courts, football fields and running tracks. In tennis chalk lines have the added advantage of a visible dust cloud or pigmentation on the ball if the line is struck by it.
Because of its absorbing properties chalk powder is used in many sporting activities such as rock climbing, weight lifting, weight training, bowling, and tug of war. The chalk powder is used by simply applying it to the hands; this action will help absorb any sweat and perspiration keeping the hands dry and thus greatly improving the grip on any equipment or rocks etc.
Another type of chalk known as hard chalk was very popular with the tailoring industry many years ago, and was used to make temporary markings on fabrics and cloths which would then be cut out along the chalk lines; however today tailors use mainly a type of chalk made from talc.
Chalk powder may be found in some toothpaste and in particular tooth powders. Tooth powders came into use in the 19th century and were mainly homemade using chalk powder, pulverized brick and or salt as ingredients.
