Description
A fine powder of white Chalk (native Calcium carbonate). Whiting has been used as an inert pigment in paints, inks, and puttys and also as a flux in low temperature ceramic glazes. Synthetically prepared calcium carbonate, called precipitated chalk, is much whiter and finer than whiting.
Synonyms and Related Terms
chalk; whitening; Spanish white; limestone whiting; Paris white; English white; gilder's whiting; Pigment White 18; CI 77220
Physical and Chemical Properties
Small irregular shaped particles (0.1-10 microns); high birefringence with strong interference colors
Mmay fluoresce a medium purple color. Reacts with acids to evolve carbon dioxide.
