The Benefits of Using Metallic Marker Manufacturer

Everything we make is for industrial use. We specialize in industrial marking pens. The inks and paints are all industrial and the containers are all industrial grade.

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

When possible, we prefer metal barrels for our marking pens because they are best suited for the industrial environment.

They're durable.

All our metal barrels are thick and strong. You can drop it off of a ladder and you can run over it with a small machine without hurting it. The aluminum is more durable for industrial workplace.

Uni-paint, for instance, has a metal barrel but they have a thin wall. These can be crushed if stepped on or with your fingers if you're strong enough. These are made for artists. All the foreign made paint pens and paint markers made for the retail market are not going to hold up to the demands of industrial use. This is why we take the care to make these pens for the USA and to the specifications of our industrial clientele in the USA. With a solid construction enabled by a metal barrel, you can keep working without fear of puncture or leakage.

Not all of our markers use a metal barrel, what are the considerations for each? Well, It depends on the kind of marker and the solvent used.

For Xylene:

If you are using xylene you cant use most plastic - only specific kinds of plastic. In general, you shouldn't use plastics with xylene. It will dissolve. For xylene we need metal barrels. They do have plastics that you can put xylene in but they are cost prohibitive in most cases.

For Alcohol:

For alcohol, we can use both metal and plastic. We are cognizant of the fact that some dyes will attack the aluminum over prolonged exposure and create a gas and create pressure inside the sealed barrel. We adjust our formulas accordingly and in some cases, we switch to a plastic barrel on some colors. One that comes to mind is Detergent Removable Blue. You do not need to ask for it. We have already made the switch after internal testing and years of feedback from customers.

For Water:

For water-based, we can't use metal barrels. you may notice we use only plastic unless they have a phenolic inside coating. It's rather expensive but we have to use it or else it will corrode from the water. With water-based formulas used in coated metal barrels, we also take precautions such as using small amount of anti-corrosive additive that helps in the long run for the life of the product. The additive helps but it is always better to use plastic for water-based or inside coated-barrels. We have that for everything we make that is water based.

Red Eagle supply professional and honest service.

A metal surface might be smooth or rough; dry, wet or greasy. It could also be heated or cooled to varying temperatures – from cold to extremely hot. For each case, you can find a marker with paint that is specifically formulated to adhere under those conditions.

Specialized Metal Marker Applications

Carmel carries a wide range of metal markers which are specifically designed to write on different types of surfaces, such as stainless steel and aluminum, H and I beams, plates, flat rolled steel, tubing, casings, line and drill pipe, valves, forgings, slabs, channels, square bar, sheets, square and rectangular tubing.

These are most often used in the metal fabrication industry where materials are subjected to heat treating for various purposes. A common form of heat treating is annealing, which involves heating metal to high temperatures in order to improve its properties, such as: softening it for easier shaping, improving its machinability, or enhancing its electrical conductivity.

2. High Purity Markers

Also known as low-corrosion markers, these metal markers apply high-purity paint which does not contribute to corrosion or other degradation of metal surfaces. They are also sometimes referred to as nuclear-grade markers.

These markers come in both bleed-through paint marker and bleed-through paint crayon forms.

5. Hard Tip Paint Markers
The Carmel Hard Tip Paint Marker applies specially formulated paint which is enamel-based. It’s a high-performance maker which creates durable, chemical-resistant markings. It works great on rusty or dirty surfaces.

The Benefits Of Markers Specifically Designed For Metal

Most Carmel marking tools, such as the medium-tip paint marker, are able to write just fine on a variety of surfaces, including metal. However, when it comes to specialized applications – from industrial fabrication to arts and crafts – choosing a marker specifically designed for metal surfaces has its advantages.

These metal markers are specially engineered with the best quality, highly visible paint that adheres well to metal. Their markings are easily applied to a variety of smooth or textured metal surfaces, including wet or oily ones. Their markings are durable, resist extreme weather, and in some cases extreme temperatures.

Finally, some specialty metalworking applications require particular functionality in their marking tools, such as bleed-through action or low-corrosion.
