Markal 96974 Liquid Paint Marker Bullet Tip Purple

Product Description

The MARKAL 96974 is a liquid paint marker designed for marking on oily and hard-to-mark surfaces. The bullet tip delivers a consistent, opaque paint line on materials that standard markers fail to adhere to. Purple pigment provides strong visual contrast on dark metals, pipe exteriors, and rubber surfaces. At 0.05 pounds and roughly 5.65 inches tall with a 0.81-inch barrel diameter, it fits comfortably in a tool pouch or chest drawer. Plumbers, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance techs reach for this marker when a grease pencil or felt-tip pen will not hold up to oily or contaminated substrates.

This marker is suited for job sites and shop environments where surfaces may carry mill oil, cutting fluid, or surface rust inhibitor. Typical applications include layout and identification marks on steel and iron stock, aluminum extrusions, pipe and tube assemblies, plastic components, and rubber products including tires. The liquid paint formula bonds to the surface rather than sitting on top of it, which helps the mark survive handling and mild abrasion between marking and inspection.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this marker. Shake the marker before first use to activate the liquid paint valve, then press the tip on a scrap surface to prime flow before marking the workpiece. Store horizontally or tip-down with the cap secured to prevent the tip from drying out between uses. Dispose of empty markers in accordance with local waste regulations for paint products.
