It's my understanding that the Bragdon powders are a pigment with a bonding agent that over time bonds to the surface. I worked for several years photographing powdered coatings for DuPont--you'd be surprised how many things that aren't painted wet!
I've used the powders fairly successfully for some time, but they're not always easy to control. What I was going to use on my flat was actual rust that I harvested from some old oil-field pipe. It's the texture and size of dirt.
