Product Information

The Essentials Company are specialist suppliers of plant labelling, tagging, tying, marking, and floristry sundries for the business, home and garden. The grease pencil, a wax writing tool also known as a wax pencil, china marker, or chinagraph pencil (especially in the United Kingdom), is a writing implement made of hardened colored wax and is useful for marking on hard, glossy non-porous surfaces.

No matter what you use a pencil for - for drawing or writing - a sharp lead is required at all times. That’s why you will find a large selection of erasers, sharpeners and much more in the STAEDTLER range. This pencil is usually made from non-toxic opaque wax (such as paraffin, beeswax, ceresin, carnauba or spermaceti wax) [1] that is similar to a crayon but stronger.The STAEDTLER range includes wood barrel pencils in 20 different degrees of hardness - from hard models (9H - 3H), which are ideal for technical drawing, for example, to very soft models (9B - 3B), which are often used as drawing pencils - and last but not least our classic writing pencils (2B, B, HB, H, 2H). Professional and amateur artists use them for drawing and sketching, but pencils can really be used for just about anything and by any age group.

For perfect writing and drawing results, you not only need high-quality pencils, but also the right accessories. More recently, it has been produced in propelling form, essentially similar to a mechanical pencil, this type in particular being associated with knee boards employed by NATO aircrew.In the days when broadcast studios had a library of LP records, a track which was prohibited from public performance could be defaced by a wavy white or yellow chinagraph line, giving a visible warning to the presenter as well as making that track unusable. They may also be used to mark wood, brick and metal, making them extremely popular amongst tradesmen, as well as crafters and artists.

Contrary to the belief that pencil leads are made of lead, the material is not used at all in the production of this popular writing and drawing instrument. The West Chinagraph Pencil is the original writing instrument for use on glass, acetate, film, china and other polished surfaces.The original and leading marker pencil for marking on glass, china, acetate, film and polished surfaces.
