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.

If a wet permanent marker is used on a dry erase board, it can sometimes be removed with an appropriate solvent, but often the whiteboard will be permanently stained (which you might expect from a permanent marker)
