| BoneGripTM Synthetic Pulverized Rosin Powder Looks and feels like fine gritty wheat flour. Small handy vial perfect for sports, gig or shoe bag. (Net Wt: .35 oz (10.5 g), Vol: .5 oz) Synthetic rosin is made from a chemically inert substance called chlorinated paraffin. That's great news for folks who are allergic to pine products. Synthetic and natural pine-based rosin is commonly used by athletes, rock climbers, gymnasts and physically active folks who need a good grip. Synthetic rosin is used in various industrial applications, chiefly as a flame retardant. Synthetic rosin and its natural pine-based cousin are probably best known as a friction-agent used by musicians on bows to make violin strings vibrate. Synthetic rosin has become increasingly popular among musicians and athletes who are allergic to natural rosin. But unlike natural rosin which is made from pine trees, synthetic rosin is a manufactured compound that won't irritate pine-sensitive skin. In fact, "This product has no known adverse effect on human health," reports the official Material Safety Data Sheet. Worse case scenario? "Prolonged and/or repeated skin contact may result in mild irritation or redness." What's more, "This product has no known eco-toxicological effects." So not only is synthetic rosin safe for your skin, it's safe for the environment too. And what about carcinogens? "This product does not contain a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer," states the MSDS. So, yay! Our synthetic rosin hits the trifecta: It's safe for pine-sensitive skin, does not harm the environment, and does not cause cancer. This commercially pulverized synthetic rosin powder is made from chlorinated paraffin resin which boasts excellent grip-improving ability. Its ultra-smooth consistency looks and feels like fine gritty wheat flour. For a slightly finer texture try our Hand Pulverized rosin powder, or the light & fluffy (and less expensive) Mill Pulverized rosin powder. For a slightly coarser texture try our Fine Ground rosin powder. Who Uses Rosin Powder? Music: Rosin is essential for stringed instruments. There's no quicker and easier way to season a new bow than rosin powder. Helps keep banjo bridges in place and guitar picks from flying. Percussionists use rosin for a firm grip on hand-held rhythm instruments. Dance: Rosin is the traditional remedy for slick dance floors. Ballet dancers routinely crunch rosin on pointe shoe heels and toes to prevent slipping on a slick wooden stage surface. Likewise, Flamenco, Irish, jazz, and ballroom dancers dust shoes with rosin to maintain a solid footing. Pole, hoop and aerial artists use rosin on hands and feet to perform elaborate routines. Sports: Rosin gives you a winning edge against the competition. A little rosin powder on hands and equipment handles creates a secure no-nonsense grip. Use rosin on baseball & cricket bats, tennis & badminton rackets, golf clubs, baseballs, basketball shoes, pistol grips, weightlifting boots, bowling, boxing or fencing shoes or any object to prevent slippage. Craft & Hobby: Rosin is an excellent friction agent. Model makers use it on vise jaws and holding fixtures to stabilize small parts. Rosin prevents intricate components and flat surfaces from slipping. Apply rosin anywhere you need friction. With a little luck you can find a small packet of violin rosin powder on eBay for around ten bucks. Odds are though, you will not find rosin powder packed in small batches anywhere, yet alone for ten bucks.
