Griptinite is a liquid chalk/grip aid designed specifically to alleviate grip problems.

There are many benefits:

1. It’s more convenient and less messy than powder chalk.

2. It comes in a handy bottle that can be taken anywhere.

3. Because it’s a liquid its much kinder on your lungs whereas powder chalk creates a fine powder that is easily aerosolized and can cause breathing difficulties for people with asthma.

4. Griptinite is also classified as a hand sanitiser so it will provide you with an extra layer of protection when using equipment that is also shared by others.

Always start by washing and drying your hands. Shake the bottle well to activate the ingredients. Apply a small pea size amount to your hands. Spread the liquid evenly across your hands (once this is done do not continue to rub), just let it dry for around 15-20 seconds then you’re good to go!

Griptinite comes in handy bottles that can be taken anywhere. It wont leave a mess on your equipment, cloths or in your bag. Powder chalk on the other hand, typically comes in square blocks that need to be crushed before use and the best way to store these blocks is in plastic containers. Often chalk dust escapes and creates a mess, staining anything it touches.

Traditional powder chalk is especially annoying for those who are trying to maintain a clean environment in their gyms and studios. Vacuuming chalk is tedious and expensive. For this reason, many gyms have outright banned powder chalk.

Liquid is much easier to apply than powder chalk. The coating provided by liquid chalk also sticks better to the hands and lasts longer. Powder chalk on the other hand takes longer to apply properly, and despite the effort will not stick quite as well.

Not only does poor grip prevent peak performance but it can directly and indirectly cause injury. Namely, reduced grip forces us to engage our forearms and hands more, causing faster fatigue and unnecessary muscle tension.

Metal surfaces are notoriously slippery and can definitely benefit from Griptinite. Gymnastics and calisthenics bars, as well as the poles used in pole dancing are the best use scenarios for Griptinite. Slipping while performing skills in these sports can be disastrous, hence liquid chalk is a necessary safety measure.

Griptinite can also be used on wooden, plastic and rubber surfaces. Wooden surfaces provide the most grip with the application of chalk due to the coarser fibres of the material, but metal surfaces receive the most benefit from the application of chalk as they provide the least grip without it. Other common applications for Griptinite include gymnastics rings, parallel bars, kettlebells, weights, battle ropes, gym equipment, golf clubs, rugby balls, tennis/squash racquets, etc.
