I do not know the French name but it is like powdered milk for use in coffee.

Look at the dry powder coffee whiteners in the supermarket! CoffeeMate is one produvt that I have heard good things about. For bigger packs look for agricultural suppliers for the dried calf feed milk- this comes in huge bags possible 25kilos.

I used 'coffeemate' with some success...

There are some examples on this video of mine:

at about 5 seconds and 2 mins 44 seconds. Apparantly the ones with the highest fat content work best...

I have the possibility to buy sodium caseinate , i want to know if its the same product in cremora ?

thanks by advance

Sodium Caseinate is an ingredient in Cremora, (Coffee Mate) yes, but I don't know of it's suitability on it's own for FX. It's primary job in the product is to suspend fat in water.

The burn rate vs time curve of your lift is important! As is the mesh size of the coffee mate.

If the lift is too fast then the powder will just blow out The lift must lift, disperse, and ignite the powder all at once.
