Art Techniques Crayola® markers provide a quick, even flow of brilliant color that does not bleed through most papers. Specially designed marker tips, also known as nibs, remain sharp and firm and aren't easily pushed into the marker barrels during usage.

The basic ingredients in Crayola® Markers are water and dye. A common experiment is to use paper chromatography to separate the dyes. When performing this experiment, you will find that not all Crayola Marker colors separate into different colors due to the nature of dyes utilized in creating marker colors.

1903: the original Crayola colors. After several decades producing commercial pigments, Binney & Smith produced their first crayon, the black Staonal Marking Crayon, in 1902. The following year, the company decided to enter the consumer market with its first drawing crayons.

The ink is made of color pigments, a chemical solvent and a polymer or “release agent.” The difference between dry erase markers and permanent markers is the kind of polymer used. Permanent markers use an acrylic polymer that helps the pigment stick to surfaces, while dry erase markers use an oily silicone polymer.

These include colored pencils, markers, inks and paints, modeling clays, coloring books, and artists' tools. As with all Crayola products, these are all marketed as non-toxic and safe for use by children.

The trade name Crayola was coined by Mrs. Edwin Binney who joined the French word "craie," meaning stick of chalk and "ola" from the word "oleaginous," meaning oily. Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and color pigment.

Permanent markers, including popular brands like Sharpie, contain ink that is made from the chemicals xylene, toluene and urethane resin. Permanent markers are safe when used as intended. Intentionally breathing in the marker fumes can be harmful.
