Features of Solvent-Based Paint Pen Markers

The Solvent-Based Paint Pen Markers have a precision seal valve that provides smooth ink flow and preserves the pen’s life, even if left uncapped. The solvent-based ink dries to a finish that is temperature resistant from 0°C to 155ºC (32ºF to 310ºF) and insoluble in water or hydrocarbons. The markings made by these markers are also resistant to many solvents and can be easily removed with alcohol or acetone. 

 

• Writes on all plastics, glass, metal, wood, paper and cloth, including Teflon® fluoropolymer resins.  

• Precision seal valve provides smooth ink flow and preserves the pen’s life, even if left uncapped 

• When dry, the solvent based ink is temperature resistant from 0°C to 155ºC (32ºF to 310ºF) 

• Markings are insoluble in water or hydrocarbons 

• Resists many solvents, but is easily removed with alcohol or acetone
