Office Whiteboard Markers and Supply Chemicals (2-Butoxyethanol, Correction Fluid) — safety profile
Low riskOffice supplies contribute to chronic low-level VOC exposure.
What is this product?
Office supplies contribute to chronic low-level VOC exposure. Dry-erase markers: 2-butoxyethanol and isopropanol solvents (same as classroom markers but adults use 8+ hours/day). Correction fluid (Wite-Out, Liquid Paper): trichloroethylene historically, now primarily methylcyclohexane and naphtha — still produces headaches in poorly ventilated spaces. Permanent markers (Sharpie): n-butanol, diacetone alcohol, cresol. Adhesive products (spray mount, rubber cement): hexane, heptane, toluene. Individual exposures are low but cumulative daily use in enclosed office contributes to TVOC load. Most modern formulations are AP-certified (non-toxic for intended use) but ventilation remains the key control.
