Ensure permanent, high-contrast identification across any job site with the Dixon 80227 Industrial Valve Action Paint Marker. Engineered by Dixon Ticonderoga for industrial manufacturing, fabrication, logistics, and quality assurance, this heavy-duty marker lays down rich, opaque black marks on both porous and non-porous surfaces. Powered by an oil-based paint formula, the 80227 produces durable markings that resist UV exposure, moisture, abrasions, and extreme weather. The internal valve-action system keeps paint fresh inside the sealed metal reservoir, preventing tip dry-out while allowing controlled paint flow with a simple press of the medium bullet nib. Whether you are color-coding structural steel, labeling PVC pipes, marking lumber, or writing on wet or dusty surfaces, this versatile marker delivers immediate, legible coverage. Encased in a rugged aluminum barrel built for demanding trade use.
