Stanley FatMax 9-47-821 Chalk is a high‑performance red chalk powder designed for industrial and commercial marking applications. It delivers exceptional visibility, durability, and ease of use on a wide range of surfaces.

Key Characteristics

• Color: Vibrant red – the most visible color for safety markings.
• Weight: 225 g (8.0 oz) per package, providing ample supply for large projects.
• Composition: Premium calcium carbonate base with a proprietary binder that enhances adhesion and water resistance.
• Packaging: Airtight sachet to preserve moisture content and prevent clumping.

Surface Compatibility

The chalk powder adheres strongly to the following materials without requiring pre‑cleaning or priming:

• Concrete (smooth, rough, or textured)
• Asphalt and tar surfaces
• Wooden planks and pallets
• Metal panels and steel beams
• Plastic and rubber flooring
• Brick and stone walls

Applications

Safety Marking: Ideal for delineating pedestrian walkways, hazardous zones, and equipment boundaries in warehouses, factories, and construction sites.

Floor Planning: Used to create temporary floor plans for event staging, retail displays, or assembly lines.

Inspection and Maintenance: Marks inspection points on machinery, pipelines, and structural components.

Performance Highlights

• High Visibility: The bright red hue stands out against most backgrounds, ensuring quick recognition even from a distance.
• Water‑Resistant: Maintains clarity after exposure to light rain or splashes of water; does not wash away easily.
• Long‑Lasting: Retains color integrity for weeks under normal indoor conditions and months outdoors when protected from direct sunlight.
• Non‑Toxic: Meets safety standards for low VOC emissions, making it suitable for indoor use without health concerns.

Application Techniques

1. Shake the sachet gently to distribute the powder evenly.
2. Hold the sachet at a 45° angle and tap or shake to release a fine mist of chalk onto the target surface.
3. For precise lines, use a chalk line tool or a straight edge as a guide.
4. Allow the powder to settle for a few seconds before walking on it; this ensures maximum adhesion.

Maintenance and Re‑application

If markings fade due to wear or environmental factors, simply repeat the application process. The chalk can be refreshed multiple times without compromising its integrity.

Storage Guidelines

• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture sources.
• Airtight sealing after each use prevents clumping and preserves the powder’s flow characteristics.
• Store upright to avoid spillage and maintain uniform distribution of the material inside the sachet.

Safety Information

Handling: While non‑toxic, prolonged inhalation of fine dust may irritate the respiratory tract. Use in well‑ventilated areas or wear a mask if necessary.

Skin Contact: Rarely causes irritation; wash with soap and water if contact occurs.

Fire Hazard: The powder is non‑combustible; no special precautions are required.

Environmental Impact

The product’s calcium carbonate base is naturally occurring and biodegradable. Packaging is recyclable, supporting sustainable practices in industrial operations.
