A permanent marker pen as the name suggests is a marker pen which leaves a permanent mark on some surfaces (often paper). However, a permanent marker may not be as strong on certain surfaces such as teflon or plastic surfaces. Permanent marker ink is water-resistant since the main ingredients comprise a solvent, a colourant, a glyceride, a resin, and a pyrrolidone. You can use a permanent marker on glass, paper, stone, wood, and fabric amongst various textures. If you wish to remove permanent marker stains, you can easily do that using paint thinners, turpentine, and nail paint removers. Alternatively, they can also be washed off by high-pressure cleaning.
