Lyra V12 Wax Pencil Dermatograph Red

The Lyra V12 Wax Pencil Dermatograph in red is a professional-grade marking tool engineered for high-precision tasks on non-porous surfaces. This pencil features a specialized wax-based core that provides consistent, bold lines with excellent adhesion to materials like glass, metal, plastic, and polished stone. Its durable construction ensures that markings remain visible and resistant to smudging, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial, laboratory, and artistic workflows.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Lyra V12 is its exceptional versatility across various smooth substrates where traditional markers might fail or smear. The high-pigment red wax core offers superior visibility, allowing for clear identification and marking even in low-light conditions. Furthermore, the pencil is designed for longevity and ease of use, requiring no specialized sharpening equipment beyond a standard blade or sharpener, and it maintains its structural integrity under frequent use in professional settings.

Suitable for

• Marking measurements on glass or laboratory equipment
• Labeling metal components in industrial manufacturing
• Temporary layout markings on polished stone or ceramic surfaces
• Artistic sketching and detailing on plastic or glossy materials

When it may not be suitable

This wax pencil is not intended for use on highly porous or absorbent surfaces such as raw wood, paper, or fabric, as the wax may not adhere correctly or could leave permanent oily residues. It is also not recommended for applications requiring extreme heat resistance, as the wax core may soften or melt under high temperatures.

Key specifications

• Color: Red
• Core type: Professional-grade wax
• Surface compatibility: Glass, metal, plastic, polished stone
• Application: Smooth, non-porous surfaces
• Durability: Smudge-resistant and high-adhesion

How to use

To use the Lyra V12, simply sharpen the pencil to the desired point using a standard pencil sharpener or a utility knife. Apply light pressure to the target surface to create a clear, visible mark. Because the wax is formulated for smooth surfaces, you can easily remove the markings later by wiping the area with a dry cloth or a mild solvent if necessary. Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or oil before application to achieve the best adhesion results.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the surface material is non-porous for optimal performance
• Consider the visibility of the red color against your specific work materials
• Ensure the intended application does not involve high-heat environments

Usage recommendations

For the best results, keep the pencil tip sharp to maintain precision during detailed marking tasks. If the wax becomes too soft in warm environments, store the pencil in a cool place to maintain the firmness of the core.
