It is 3M graphite powder. It is used to help identify high or low spots while block sanding. If the powder remains on the surface when blocking it tells you there is a low spot because your block isn’t allowing your paper to hit it, so you know that you need to continue leveling the area.
It can also be used to help when switching to a higher grit. if you apply it over 320 scratches and you want to refine up to 500-600, you will know the 320 is gone once the guide coats off.
