Best Answer

A dry polymer is one that is not in solution. they are used where moisture would create an issue. Sometimes dry polymer powder is added to cement so that when the cement is hydrated to make concrete, the dry polymer is hydrated at the same time. If a wet polymer, or polymer solution were used, it would react with the cement and make it unusable.

Difference between overhead and dry erase markers?

The ink used in dry-erase markers is almost identical to that used in permanent markers. It is comprised of colored pigments, a chemical solvent (like alcohol) and a polymer or "release agent." The type of polymer used marks the main difference between dry-erase and permanent markers. Unlike permanent markers, which use acrylic polymers to make the pigment stick to surfaces, dry-erase markers use an oily silicone polymer. The ink's slippery consistency prevents the colored pigment from coming in direct contact with the surface so it can easily be wiped off.


Are there toxins in dry erase markers?

Yes, that's why they smell the way that they do. They contain water, pigment, alcohol, solvent and oily silicone polymer.
