What Is Whiting Powder?

Whiting powder is a finely ground, 100% calcium carbonate powder known for its gentle abrasive and absorbent properties. This product is designed for practical household and industrial uses, not as a dietary supplement. It offers a premium, uniform texture ideal for applications like window glazing and metal polishing.

What Can It Be Used For?

Whiting powder is a versatile material that shines in several areas:

• Window Glazing: Commonly used with sarco window glazing putty, it helps smooth and finish the putty, making clean-up easier and faster.
• Cleaning and Polishing: Its fine, slightly abrasive nature makes it effective for cleaning and shining surfaces like marble, glass, stainless steel, silverware, copper, and other non-ferrous metals.
• Filler Pigment: Acts as a filler pigment to increase the coverage of paints, coatings, and whitewash, improving their application and finish.
• Fingerprint Removal: Perfect for removing fingerprints from glass after window work, leaving a streak-free shine.

How to Use Whiting Powder for Window Glazing

For best results with window glazing, follow these simple steps:

1. Apply the glazing putty to your window pane.
2. Using a very soft brush, apply a small amount of whiting powder over the putty.
3. Lightly brush the powder across the surface—only a tiny amount is needed.
4. The powder absorbs excess oil and makes the putty easier to clean, resulting in a neat, professional finish.

For cleaning or polishing, sprinkle a small amount on a damp cloth or sponge, rub gently on the surface, and wipe clean for a brilliant shine.

FAQs About Whiting Powder

Can whiting powder be used as a calcium supplement?
While it is pure calcium carbonate, this product is not manufactured or tested for human consumption. Its intended uses are industrial and household. For calcium supplementation, purchase a product specifically labeled as a dietary supplement.
