liquid chalk

Climber's hand powder

Liquid chalk is aite powder suspended in alcohol, used by climbers, weightlifters, and gymnasts to improve grip.

The alcohol evaporates when applied, leaving a dry chalk coating on the hands.

Gyms often require liquid chalk because it produces less airborne dust than loose chalk: I keep liquid chalk in my gym bag.
