Erases with substantially less dust and mess than conventional erasers. It's still not completely dust-free, but it is a lot cleaner!

Phthalates have been reported to cause several undesirable effects when exposed to the human body. To date, phthalates are still commonly used to produce erasers around the world. The balanced plastic mixture guarantees soft and smear-free erasing.

The Faber-Castell Dust-Free Eraser is designed to erase graphite and colored pencil marks with minimal mess, thanks to its unique formulation. A key benefit is the reduced dust, but remember that some dust will still be produced. This eraser offers clean, smudge-free erasing and leaves less residue than conventional erasers.
