EXAMPLE of the Powders array

"powders": [
    { "type":"T", "tier":6, "amount":5 },
    {"type"  :"e","tier":1,"amount":5},
    {"type":  "F", "tier": 3,"amount":1},
    {     "type"     : "w"     ,  "tier":6     }
]

Which items can have powders?

Powders can only be encoded on an item that originally supported powders in the first place.
Unfortunately you can't add powders to an item that didn't originally have them.
e.g. can't put powder on depressing shears, as depressing weapons don't have powder slot.
