Liquid Chalk 250ml

The magnesium carbonate (chalk) that we use is extracted from sea water, which not only is much more sustainable but also provides a much higher purity product than mined chalk. Magnesium carbonate is a really good drying agent and when there aren’t any other contaminants present it provides naturally superior grip.

Other brands use alcohol with a higher water content which is detrimental to drying time, we use the highest concentration of alcohol on the market so it dries faster.

Other brands use isopropyl alcohol (IPA/isopropanol) which is quite harsh on the skin whereas we use ethanol in our liquid chalk which is generally much more easy going on the skin.

Resin or rosin as it’s sometimes listed is used to help chalk stay dispersed in the alcohol as chalk likes to clump together. This is the cheap and easy way of making liquid chalk. We figured out a way of keeping the chalk dispersed in the alcohol without the need of any other ingredients. Resin is detrimental to your skin (like washing paint off your hands), the environment, climbing holds and rock, and your climbing overall.

A lot of cheaper liquid chalks add thickening agents to their chalk which are detrimental to friction even if it seems like there is more chalk per application. We fill every bottle with as much magnesium carbonate as is physically possible within the alcohol and you can feel this when you get that perfect first application.

Your liquid chalk can dry out if the cap is left open or not closed properly. After every use, make sure the lid is shut properly. Sometimes chalk can build up around the cap preventing proper closure. Look out for this.

Gekco Liquid Chalk is made up of two components; magnesium carbonate and alcohol. One is a solid and we’ve figured out how to keep this dispersed within a liquid without the addition of any other friction detrimental components. However some temporary settling may occur so shaking just makes sure you get consistent applications.

All our stockists participate in our bottle return scheme, so just every time you’re finished with your liquid chalk just give it back to wherever you bought it.

The reason we only do set sizes of bags of loose and bottles of liquid is because this way you get our product at its cheapest we can offer it at. There would also be more waste created per less usable product and we'd have to ship out smaller quantities which again increases carbon due to shipping.
