Boost Primer

This is for the die hard projecting climbers who need a little extra help to tip them over the edge on that 100% effort attempt. 

A base coat to prime your skin for the application of chalk, you apply the boost and then before it dries you add a layer of Tokyo Black, for example, and send! The Boost keeps the chalk on your skin for longer and with better coverage for maximum time at maximum friction. It's expensive so keep it for the repoints and flash attempts! 

It all starts with the best raw ingredients – the Magnesium Carbonate. The misconception is that all Magnesium Carbonate are produced from mining and magnesite. Here at Tokyo Powder, we work closely with the Japanese salt industry who refine the Magnesium Carbonate as a by-product of the other salts from seawater. This also greatly reduces the environmental impact that is commonly caused by mining. It also helps to keep our chalk Calcium Carbonate free – which is a bad component for friction usually found in chalk that is derived from magnesite mining.

We don’t claim to have a uniform particle size of chalk, which we feel makes the chalk feel slippery. Instead, we start with particles of chalk between 3 to 5 micrometers – ideal for coating your hands for optimal friction. To stress again, we don’t grind down blocks of chalk to reach this stage, as it is refined from essentially liquids.

We hope that you will enjoy the friction as much as we enjoy making it.
