What makes a permanent marker permanent?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, a permanent marker is permanent because it contains ink that has a higher concentration of pigments and chemicals that make it stick to surfaces like your ex's clingy texts. It's designed to be water-resistant and fade-resistant, so your doodles on your friend's face during nap time will last longer than your attention span in a meeting. So, yeah, it's like a tattoo for paper.

Answer 2

Well, isn't that a happy little question! You see, a permanent marker is made up of strong pigments and chemicals that help it adhere to surfaces and resist fading over time. This allows the ink to stay vibrant and long-lasting, bringing joy and color to your creations for years to come.

The main ingredients in a sharpie marker are propanol, butanol, diacetone alcohol and different dye coloring. Resin, a glue-like polymer, ink that makes the ink stay on the paper. If it was only just colorant, a pigment or dye that gives ink its color ,and solvent, a liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances the colorant would turn to dust and fall of the paper as soon as the solvent dried or evaporated. A marker is defined as permanent if it sticks to most surfaces, is water resistant, or uses dye or pigment. The length of time permanent marker marks will last varies based on exposure and poorness of the surface. With heavy or outdoor exposure on a nonporous surface, marks will be heavily faded in three to four months. With limited exposure on a porous surface such as paper, marks will probably last several years. Permanent markers are made to be water resistant and they contain xylene and toluene.

Answer 5

Permanent markers contain a mixture of ink and chemicals that bond with the surface they are applied to, making them difficult to remove. This bonding process allows the ink to resist fading, smudging, and water damage, resulting in a long-lasting mark.
