Viskelæder

Viskelæder, often called an eraser, is a tool used to remove pencil marks. Typically made of rubber or plastic, viskelædere work by abrading the graphite particles from the paper's surface. The friction generated causes the graphite to adhere to the viskelæder material, effectively lifting it away. Different types of viskelædere exist, suited for various purposes. Kneaded erasers, a type of pliable eraser, are excellent for lifting graphite without damaging the paper and are favored by artists. Standard rubber or vinyl erasers are common for everyday use in schools and offices. The effectiveness of a viskelæder can depend on the type of pencil lead used and the paper's texture. Over time, viskelædere can wear down or become soiled, reducing their ability to erase cleanly. They are an indispensable item for anyone who uses pencils for writing or drawing.
