Markers for Industrial Materials

Engweld stocks a wide range of markers from various renowned brands including Markal, Milwaukee, and Tempilstik available in different colours and styles. They are ideal for marking tools and equipment, labelling products and packages, creating safety warnings and hazard markings, and marking industrial materials for identification and tracking purposes. 

In industrial environments, markers are used on a range of materials such as stainless steel, mild steel, aluminium, concrete, PVC, rubber and tyres. Markers are an essential tool when welding or cutting and they need to be able to work in various conditions, including extreme weather conditions, extreme temperatures, and on all surfaces from smooth to rusty metals and even concrete. 

Some markers are designed for certain applications, for example, there are special markers designed to mark on dark surfaces where traditional markers would not be easily visible. Markers with acrylic nib are ideal for use on rough surfaces such as OSB and concrete. Welders pencils can create marks that are resistant to torch flames that will not rub off or burn off like soapstone and create highly visible marks that illuminate when cutting or welding.

Engweld also stocks Ball Paint Markers which is a liquid paint marker that features a durable metal-ball tip for writing on hard surfaces. They are ideal for identifying fabricated steel and other rough surfaces that are stored in harsh environments. It features industrial paint which can withstand harsh environments and weather conditions. 

Engweld also stocks Chalks which are ideal for temporary marking where markers can not be used. 

Here are some factors to consider when choosing a marker:

• Surface material the marker can be used on e.g. concrete, glass, ceramic, wood, metal, plywood, OSB, plastic etc.
• Nib material e.g. acrylic nib is suitable for most demanding environmental conditions and can operate in temperature from -10°C up to + 145°C.
• Surfaces that it can be used on e.g. wet, oily, dusty, and rusty with debris surfaces. 
• Anti-Roll design to prevent it from rolling off surfaces.
• Easy cap feature for one hand operation.
• Ergonomic design for ease of use.
• Quick Dry Time - to reduce smearing markings.
• Water and UV-resistant markings. 
• Ability to mark on dark surfaces.
• Xylene-free markers do not have the marker pen odour and do not contain certain chemicals, eliminating concern about California Proposition 65, EPA HAPS or SARA 313 regulations, minimising employee health, environmental and waste disposal concerns.
