Q.
A.

What is Snow Powder™
Snow Powder™ is a patented synthetic polymer
with super, water-absorbing properties designed to expand up to 100 times its original volume.  Just by adding water, you can turn Snow Powder™ into a white, fluffy substance that looks and feels like real snow. It’s the only artificial snow available today that erupts when water is added. Snow Powder™ is so realistic that it can be added to real snow and you won’t notice the difference.  Snow Powder™ is now being used in indoor snowboarding parks throughout the world
 

 

Q.
A.

How long will Snow Powder™ last?
Snow Powder™ will last for a month or more.  Just spray the snow with water every few days to fluff it back up.  Seal the snow in a zipper-lock bag to keep the water from evaporating.  Place the bag of snow in the freezer to experience cold snow.

Q.
A.

Is Snow Powder™ safe?
Snow Powder™ is non-toxic and environmentally safe.  The snow can be safely discarded in the trash or dissolved with excess water.  The snow is extremely slippery when wet and should not be used directly on wood or moisture sensitive surfaces without some sort of surface protection/safeguard.
 

 

Q.
A.

Is Snow Powder™ Reusable?
Yes, using Snow Powder™
you can make snow again and again.  Just add water to make the snow and when the snow dries up, it will go back to being dry Snow powder™.  All you need to do is add water again to make snow
 

Q.
A.

Will the artificial snow ever melt?
No, the artificial snow will not melt since it is not really ice. However, the water can be released from the snow by adding salt. The addition of salt destroys the water absorbing properties of Snow Powder™ forever, so remember, if you want to use and reuse your Snow Powder™, it's best not to add salt.
 

Q.
A.

Do I have to use Snow Powder™ on a special surface?
No, Snow Powder™ can be used on almost any surface, though it's not recommended for untreated wood. Keep the snow off of any surface that
you might believe could be damaged by water. Surfaces that are ideal include tile, plastic and glass. Snow Powder™ will not stain fabric, but normal care should be taken when applying this water-based material. 

Customer recommendations for contained use of Snow Powder includes the following:

  • One customer from Hawaii recently purchased twenty boxes of Snow Powder.  They said they were going to fill a small plastic swimming pool (the type available in most stores), then let all the children play in the snow.  Sounded great to us.
  • Another customer said she pours the snow into the bathtub, lets her daughter play in the snow, then scoops it up and keeps it in a plastic zip-lock bag until the next time her daughter wants to play.
  • Then there's the creative decorating tips.  Many customers simply fill bowls, a lovely glass vase or other glass containers with snow, then add pine cones, colorful marbles, glitter, and all sorts of other things, to create a decorative display, then they encourage friends and family to play in the snow.
 

Q.
A.

Can Snow Powder™ be made in different colors?
Yes! Simply add a few drops of food coloring to the water before adding it to the Snow Powder™
 
 

Q.
A.

Can Snow Powder™ be disposed of in the trash?
Snow Powder™ is very easy to clean up and if you decide you don't want to reuse it next year, or feel you'd like to buy a new box next year, it can be disposed of in the trash.  Just brush the surface clean or use a vacuum to pick up the snow.  Eventually the hydrated snow will turn back into the dry powder and can be easily swept or vacuumed.  Snow Powder™ is a non-toxic, environmentally safe polymer
 
 

Q.
A.

How can Snow Powder™ be stored to be used again?
Keep Snow Powder™  stored in a dark, cool and dry location.  You should close the container (of Snow Powder™ in its dry powder form) when not in use to avoid moisture gain.
 
 

Q.
A.

Is Snow Powder™ safe for outside use?
Yes! Snow Powder™ looks so real that it is being used by special effects artists in movies to create snow for outdoor winter scenes without damaging the plants and grass. Sprinkle the hydrated snow on evergreen trees to produce a realistic snow effect.  In fact, the water absorbing properties of the snow are actually beneficial to the plants, as Snow Powder™ will insure timely release and absorption of water moisture to the plants.  Remember, Snow Powder™ is very slippery when wet.  Use special care to keep the snow off any walking surface.
 
 

Q.
A.

Why does Snow Powder™ feel cold to the touch?
Once made, the snow is almost entirely made up of water, and as you can expect, water evaporates in time.   The process of evaporation produces a constant cooling effect.  That’s why it’s so much fun to touch !
 

Q.
A.

How long will hydrated snow made from Snow Powder™ last?
The snow you've made using Snow Powder™ will begin to dehydrate after a few days due to evaporation (which, by the way, is also the reason Snow Powder™ feels cold to the touch). Just spray the top of the snow with water and fluff the snow with your fingers to restore its fresh, fluffy look. You can also let the snow completely dry out, back to its powder form, then use it again. The dry form (the powder) of Snow Powder™ will last forever !
 
 

Q.
A.

What is the best way to make Snow using Snow Powder™?
Adding  2 ounces of room temperature water to 1 teaspoon of Snow Powder™ produces the best quality artificial snow. It is always recommended to make the snow in small quantities to achieve the best results. Snow Powder™ expands 100 times its original volume. Just a small amount of powder is needed to make an impressive quantity of snow. On a much larger scale, 1 pound of Snow Powder™ makes nearly 8 gallons of fluffy snow.
 
 

Q.
A.

Are there fakes and imitations on the market?  Are they safe?
Beware of imitations:
Snow Powder™ is the only powder that expands instantly without mixing, stirring or waiting for long periods of time. The snow you get from Snow Powder™ is soft, fluffy, fun to touch and most importantly, safe.  Snow Powder™ is the only expanding powder that was tested and found to be non-toxic, safe and biodegradable. There are Toxic powders that are sold as Snow Powder, and should not be touched with bare hands.

How to identify a fake Snow Product:

1.   With Snow Powder™ just add water and get instant snow. There is NO stirring, NO shaking and NO mixing involved. If you need to mix, shake, stir, or gradually add water to a powder - its a FAKE.

2.   Snow Powder™ expands 100 times of its original size within 2 seconds. If it takes longer than 2 seconds to expand using room temperature water, or if it hardly expands - its a FAKE.

Snow Powder™ creates soft fluffy white snow. Other products give you wet, soggy slush - they are FAKE
 

 

Q.
A.

Is Snow Powder™ really safe?
Snow Powder™ is safe to use around children and pets.  Although tens of thousands of people have used and touched the made (or "grown") snow, and it is entirely non-toxic (...and the snow is 99% water), adult supervision is required when kids are handling the product.  The unsupervised use by children is not recommended.  Snow Powder™ is not a food product; do not eat it.  Keep Snow Powder™ away from the eyes and mouth.  Allergic reactions can happen to almost anyone from new and unknown (to the individual) substances.  In case you have any kind of unusual reaction to the Snow or Snow Powder™, please do the following:

First Aid: In the event of contact of the powder with eyes, rinse affected area with water.  Get medical attention if irritation persists.  If ingested or inhaled, consult a physician and seek medical attention.

Snow Powder™ is very slippery when wet. Keep the snow off all walking surfaces to prevent slips in the same manner as you'd do if you were removing real snow from walking surfaces, and clean up any spill immediately.  This is a wonderful, fun product and if used with proper care, you should only realize great joy from using Snow Powder™, we trust these FAQ's have helped guide you to safe and fun use of Snow Powder™.
