Eleiko, a leading Swedish supplier of weight lifting equipment, has partnered with another Swedish company, Disruptive Materials, to offer the Performance Liquid Chalk, a material that is said to provide an enhanced grip, with minimal residue, by absorbing twice the amount of moisture than other liquid chalks. Developed by Disruptive Materials, it contains sports-grade Upsalite®, a patented mesoporous magnesium carbonate synthetized from naturally derived materials. It is thus considered additive-free and safe. Founded more than 60 years ago, Eleiko claims that more than 1,000 world records have been set with its barbells. The product, which is available on the company’s website, made its debut at the European Weightlifting Championships in Moscow last month. It will be launched in the U.S. next month.
