SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the search for odorless dry-erase markers, specifically highlighting the Expo brand as a viable option. Users mention that the Expo brand offers an odorless version, although some participants report that their current Expo markers emit strong smells. A recommendation is made for a specific website selling low to no odor dry-erase markers that do not contain xylene, which is known to cause headaches. These markers are also refillable and reportedly perform better than traditional Expo markers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of dry-erase marker composition and safety standards
  • Familiarity with the Expo brand of dry-erase markers
  • Knowledge of xylene and its effects on health
  • Basic awareness of refillable marker systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Expo brand's odorless dry-erase markers
  • Explore alternatives to xylene-based markers for health safety
  • Investigate refillable dry-erase marker systems and their benefits
  • Visit websites that specialize in low-odor writing instruments
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, office supply managers, and anyone seeking non-toxic writing solutions that minimize odor exposure in environments such as classrooms and offices.

Not really (they're "non-toxic") ... but seriously, do they make any that don't smell? And don't say chalk :rolleyes:

They just magically have a full-stock in the math departments head office.
 
Really? I'll have to take a look around. The ones I am using are Expos, but they are definitely not odorless!
 
i like sniffing on them! back when i was a wee boy, i liked getting out of the car at gas stations whenever dad was filling up just to smell gasoline.

Some (particularly the red ones) can be downright putrid.
 
There is this website that sells dryerase markers that are truly low to no odor they say that the markers don't have the xylene in them which is what must have been what's gives me headaches with other markers. Also the markers are refillable and comes with the ink to do so.

and yes they erase as good if not better than the expo markers that I used in the past.
