What makes a marker permanent?
A marker can be classified as a permanent marker if it: 1. Adheres to most surfaces and/or is water resistant. 2. Uses dyes or pigments The dyes or pigments used, which give the ink color (colorants), determine how well a marking will resist fading. Pigmented inks resist fading the best. The combination of ingredients used in the ink formulation gives the ink permanent properties. Each permanent marker that we manufacture may have one or both of the characteristics mentioned above.
