Markal 80228 Solid Paint Marker Purple Oil-base

Product Description

The MARKAL 80228 is a solid paint marker designed for permanent, oil-base marking across a wide range of industrial and construction surfaces. Built around a round-tip crayon format, it lays down a durable purple mark directly from the solid core without a felt nib or ink reservoir to dry out or clog. The oil-base formulation bonds to both porous and non-porous materials, making it a go-to marking tool for trades that need a reliable, weather-resistant line or label on the job site or in the shop. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to carry in a tool pouch or vest pocket.

This marker is suited for use in plumbing, pipefitting, steel fabrication, lumber yards, tire and rubber service, and general construction. It marks directly on steel and iron pipe, rubber and tire surfaces, dimensional lumber and timber, plastic components, glass, and concrete or stone. The solid paint format performs in wet, oily, or dusty conditions where a standard ink marker would skip or fail. It is commonly used by pipefitters, ironworkers, carpenters, and warehouse personnel for part identification, layout lines, and inventory marking.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this marking tool. Remove the cap and apply firm, even pressure to transfer the solid paint core to the target surface. For best adhesion on oily or wet metal surfaces, wipe the area with a clean rag before marking. Store with the cap on and keep away from extreme heat to prevent the solid core from softening.
