FAQs
Is the Pentel Hi-Polymer eraser safe for delicate art paper?
Yes, its soft, latex-free formulation is designed to be gentle on paper surfaces and helps prevent tearing or fiber damage.
Does this eraser contain PVC?
No, the Hi-Polymer eraser is manufactured using a synthetic latex-free compound.
Can I use this on charcoal or pastels?
While it can lift light charcoal marks, it is specifically optimized for graphite performance.
How do I prevent the eraser from getting dirty?
Always slide the protective sleeve over the eraser head when not in use.
Will this eraser leave a residue on my drawings?
No, the eraser is specifically formulated to clump very little, leaving your workspace cleaner than standard rubber erasers.
Troubleshooting
Eraser is smearing the graphite instead of removing it.
The eraser surface may be saturated with graphite residue. Rub the eraser on a clean piece of scrap paper to remove the buildup.
The eraser feels hard or brittle.
Exposure to extreme temperature changes or direct sunlight can degrade the synthetic compound. Keep the eraser stored at room temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This eraser requires no setup; simply slide the protective sleeve down slightly to expose the surface you intend to use. It is compatible with all standard drawing and writing graphite pencils. To maintain optimal performance, always retract the eraser into its sleeve after use to prevent the surface from absorbing dust or oils from your hands. If the eraser surface becomes dark with graphite, lightly rub it against a scrap piece of paper or a clean, non-porous surface to refresh the face of the block. Keep it in a dry environment to ensure the synthetic compound remains stable and effective for long-term use.
