Blanc de Meudon has multiple appellations: Blanc d’Espagne, or sometimes Blanc de Champagne, de Troyes, de Toulouse or more rarely “white stone”. It is made up of particles of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which is the main component of limestone and chalk.
It is weakly alkaline, very slightly abrasive and is traditionally used for making paints, household work and creative hobbies. It is also used for polishing silverware, earthenware, ceramic hobs and plastics. It is suitable for gilding and polishing mirrors, also for whitening shoe fabrics. Blanc de Meudon is used in the composition of mastic, certain carbonated waters and serves as incandescent powder for fireworks. It was formerly used for tanning hides, when this was still done by hand. In addition to its environmental benefits, Blanc de Meudon is safe to handle (unlike products from the petrochemical industry), and is inexpensive. Blanc de Meudon can be used pure, treated and/or mixed with different materials. To make your own clay stone. Mix 90g of Meudon white, 60mL of black soap and 1 tsp of crystal soda. Place in a pot then dry for 3 days in the sun or near a heat source until it becomes hard as a stone. Then use to clean, scrub and shine your surfaces.
