MKL96820EA - Markal Valve Action Paint Marker, White

High-Performance Industrial Identification

The Markal Valve Action Paint Marker in White (MKL96820) is a versatile and reliable liquid paint marker designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Engineered with a fast-drying, permanent paint formula, this marker provides distinct, durable marks on a wide variety of surfaces, including metal, glass, plastic, rubber, and wood. Its primary advantage lies in its chemical formulation, which is specifically developed to be safe for use on stainless steel, alloys, and superalloy metals. Unlike standard markers that may contain high levels of chlorides or halogens that can induce pitting or stress corrosion cracking, this marker is formulated to degrade materials, ensuring the structural integrity of sensitive components is maintained.

The marker features a robust metal barrel and a durable Dura-Nib bullet tip that withstands abrasion from rough, rusty, or dirty surfaces. The "Valve Action" mechanism is a critical feature that allows the user to re-ink the tip on demand by simply depressing it, ensuring the paint remains fresh and fluid inside the barrel until it is needed. This prevents the common issue of dried-out tips found in capillary markers. The paint dries quickly to the touch, allowing for immediate handling of parts without smearing, and cures to a finish that is highly resistant to weather, water, and UV fading. This makes it an excellent choice for parts that will be stored outdoors or subjected to harsh industrial processes.

Ideal for quality control, parts identification, and assembly coding, the Markal Valve Action marker delivers consistent, high-visibility marks in a compact, easy-to-use form factor. It operates effectively in extreme temperatures ranging from -50°F to 150°F (-46°C to 66°C), making it a staple tool for MRO professionals across manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace sectors.
