Carrom board powder and its benefits

Carrom board is a fun filled and entertaining indoor game. It creates a very competitive
atmosphere creating a very challenging and enthusiastic mood for many people. Because of its
wonderful features it has now been widely accepted by many all over the world. The game is
believed to have originated from the suburbs of India, while some believes it originated from
Burma or Portugal.



The official rules for the game was set way back in the late 1980's. The game comes with
several accessories each of which is certainly important for playing the game. Every accessory
has its own role to play in a game of carrom. These accessories include carom board, carrom
coins, carrom striker, carrom powder, replacement mesh, counter for keeping score, and
carrom board stand for mounting the board.
Carrom powder is a very important accessory when it comes to maintenance issues of the
carrom board. It helps in prolonging the longevity and lifetime of the board and thus plays a
very important part of carrom accessories. The playing surface of the carrom board is made up
of plywood surface whose screen has printed lines and patterns. It is polished quite well for
smooth low friction and hard wearing finish.
The standard board consist of 29" of playing area which is commonly used in tournaments
although smaller board of 21" and above are also available suitable for convenience when you
just play for fun and at home. The carrom coins are also made up of wooden surface. Without
carrom powder, these coins tend to roughen up the board more predominantly than with
carrom powder. Every board undergoes wear and tear. But in order to maintain the smooth
plywood surface of the board, you need to apply carrom board powder every time you use it or
play a game. This powder allows the coins and the striker to drift freely, swiftly and smoothly
without damaging the board.

And when the board is not in use, try to cover it with carrom board cover for maintenance
reasons. Even if you don't use the board cover, never place the board facing your radiator or
other heated surfaces. It tends to wear off the smoothness of the polished area of the board.
Carrom board powder avoids abrasion. Also see to that you don't expose the board to extreme
temperatures, moisture or dampness. To avoid all these issues, it is preferable and better to
make use of carrom board cover.
The carrom powder predominantly comes in two forms and it is available in every retail as well
as wholesale stores. Today you have many online websites that are dedicated sports store as
well. You get the same varieties of carrom powder even from there and you don't have the
necessity to make a trip to the shop for your purchasing anymore. You can sit at home and
order for it online itself. It will be delivered to you at your door step. The carrom powder comes
in boric powder form as well as potato starch powder form. Both are equally good for
maintaining your board although, the starch powder seems to be more effective and efficient
according to many tests and it is slightly expensive when compared to boric powder. Never
compromise over quality for cheap price and hence always watch out and enquire thoroughly
before you purchase your carrom accessories.
