Kuivamustekynämarkereita

Kuivamustekynämarkereita, or dry-erase markers, are a type of marker pen designed for use on smooth, non-porous surfaces, most commonly whiteboards. Unlike permanent markers, the ink in kuivamustekynämarkereita is formulated to be easily wiped away without leaving a residue. This characteristic makes them ideal for temporary writing, drawing, and presentations.

The ink typically consists of a solvent, a pigment, and a release agent. When the solvent evaporates, the pigment is left behind, held loosely to the surface by the release agent. This allows for easy erasure. The tip of a kuivamustekynämarkkeri is usually made of felt or a similar porous material, allowing for controlled ink flow. They come in a variety of colors, with black, blue, red, and green being the most common.

Kuivamustekynämarkereita are widely used in educational settings, offices, and homes for planning, brainstorming, and teaching. It is important to use them on their intended surfaces, as they can stain or damage porous materials. Over time, if a whiteboard is used extensively without proper cleaning, ghosting or faint marks may appear, which can often be removed with specialized whiteboard cleaner.
