Xerolite™ Powder

Why It Matters for Athletes

Grip loss does not occur because chalk “runs out” but because moisture overwhelms the material’s ability to manage hydration. Xerolite™ addresses this at the materials-science level, delivering higher absorption capacity, longer functional dryness, and more consistent friction during high-output training.

Xerolite™ has higher drying ability and increased friction compared to magnesium carbonate chalk.

Xerolite™ outperformed conventional chalk in testing across multi-modal domains including weightlifting, armwrestling, pickleball, tennis, golf, pole, disc, shooting, gymnastics, powerlifting, strongman, Ninja, CrossFit, Hyrox and track & field.

Engineered at the Micro- and Nano-Scale

Xerolite™ is not conventional chalk. It is an engineered grip material developed using advanced mesoporous hydrophilic powder, designed to manage moisture at the microscopic level where grip failure actually begins.

Q: How does Xerolite™ compare to Aerogel products?

A: Due to their hydrophobic (moisture-repelling) nature, Aerogel and Silica Silylate increase grip only until the introduction of moisture, rendering them ineffective on humid or sweaty surfaces. Xerolite™ unites friction and absorption, outperforming Aerogel and Silica Silylate in all real-world tests.

Advanced Drying

Xerolite ™ is a next-generation desiccant engineered for superior moisture control in demanding environments. Xerolite™ is a mesoporous, low-hydrate precipitated ultra-fine powder, designed to deliver exceptional adsorption performance without the weight and thermal burden of bound water.

• Ultra-high porosity: Xerolite’s™ open, nanostructured matrix offers an enormous internal surface area, enabling rapid and sustained uptake of water vapor.

• Low hydration state: Manufactured as a low-hydrate hydrophilic powder, Xerolite™ minimizes intrinsic water content, maximizing effective drying capacity and efficiency.

• Fast kinetics: Its finely controlled porosity accelerates moisture diffusion into internal pores, giving Xerolite™ quicker response times compared to conventional desiccants.

• Versatile use: Ideal for sports grip, agriculture, packaging, electronics, pharmaceuticals, industrial drying, and other applications where reliable humidity control and/or friction is critical.

Xerolite™ combines innovative materials engineering with practical performance, offering an advanced alternative to traditional silica gels and magnesium carbonates for next-level moisture management.
