About Paint and Ink Markers
Paint markers work well even on dirty, rusty, wet, and oily surfaces. They leave textured marks you can feel with your hand.
Ink markers work best on a clean, dry surface. Marks dry faster than paint and are smooth to the touch.
Both paint and ink markers are permanent.

High-Visibility Tamper and Vibration Detection Paint

Choose from highly visible fluorescent colors. Apply directly to equipment for easy and economical detection. When paint dries it becomes brittle and cracks from any movement caused by tampering or vibration. It's noncorrosive and adheres to most surfaces, including all types of metal. Excellent for use on small parts. Paint cannot be sold to Canada because it exceeds local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
