Is the office whiteboard pen the same as the marker?

In the company, whiteboard pens and marker pens are familiar to everyone. Many people think that whiteboard pens and marker pens are the same office supplies, but they are not. Today, let's talk about the difference between them.

1.Different ranges

Whiteboard pen belongs to water-based marker, which is used as a tool for writing on the whiteboard. After writing, the surface of the ink will form mucous membrane after solidification, which can be wiped off with whiteboard. The marking pen belongs to an oily marking pen. The pen head is made of high molecular materials such as fiber and plastic. It can write or mark on a variety of materials such as wood, plastic and metal.

2.Different raw materials

The whiteboard pen is composed of ethyl alcohol, ethanol and carbon black. When the whiteboard pen cannot write words, it is because the ethanol and ethyl alcohol in the ink volatilize, which makes the whiteboard pen unable to write. A marker pen is usually made of ordinary ink.

When purchasing office whiteboard pens and marker pens, we can use a very simple method to distinguish. When writing on a smooth object surface or whiteboard, the marker pen cannot be erased, and the whiteboard pen can be erased.
