Pencils are versatile, portable, and easy to use for writing, drawing, and sketching. They are convenient for making quick notes, corrections, and sketches without the need for additional tools like erasers.

Which material is used in pencils?

What do we use for lead in pencils?
It is called "lead" because the original pencils were made from soft lead. However lead is a toxic heavy metal.Modern pencil "lead" is made of graphite and a binder. The most common binders are clay or plastic resin. This is completely nontoxic and the hardness can be precisely controlled to meet the requirements of different users.
Is it true that most pencils are filed with the element lead?
No. This is totally untrue. There is no lead in pencils - not even in the paint they are painted with! The reason for this is caused by confusion over the name of the filler. The substance inside a pencil that does the actual writing is called graphite. This is a crystalline form of carbon (another is diamond, another is a substance called buckminsterfullerene, and the third, non-crystalline form, is charcoal). The graphite is often mixed with differing amounts of clay to create pencils of different hardnesses. Graphite is found as a mineral in the ground. Lead is also found as a mineral in the ground as the lead ore 'lead sulphide' or 'Galena'. The mineral Galena looks very similar to graphite, except that graphite is darker in colour than lead ore. Therefore, many years ago graphite used to be called 'black lead' from its appearance. So, when pencils were invented, they were filled with graphite - or 'black lead', and eventually this was shortened to 'lead' but there is absolutely no connection with the 'lead' (i.e. black lead) found in pencils with the metal lead. The "lead" in pencils was always, is, and always will be, made of graphite.
Is most pencil filled with lead?
Some pencil's are filled with lead, but rarely any nowadays. Pencils use to be filled with lead, but now pencils are typically filled with graphite as lead is poisonous to humans.
