Marker Schneider Electric Maxx 242 freeze resistant black — permanent marker, black ink

Schneider Electric Maxx 242 freeze resistant black — permanent marker, black ink is a permanent marker designed for reliable marking in low-temperature environments. The marker delivers consistent black lines on a variety of surfaces and is formulated to resist freezing, making it suitable for work in cold storage, outdoor winter conditions, and unheated industrial spaces. The tip and barrel are built for frequent use and provide steady ink flow for clear, legible markings.

Advantages

The freeze-resistant ink reduces the risk of blockages or interrupted ink flow when temperatures drop, ensuring the marker remains operational in cold conditions. Black permanent ink offers high contrast on light surfaces and good visibility on many materials. The construction balances durability and handling comfort, aiming to minimize smudging and to maintain a reliable line width during extended use.

Suitable for

• Marking cables, panels and electrical components in cold environments
• Labeling inventory in cold storage and refrigerated warehouses
• Outdoor construction and maintenance tasks in low temperatures
• Workshop and industrial applications where permanent markings are required

Key specifications

• Ink color: black
• Ink type: permanent, freeze-resistant formulation
• Application surfaces: paper, cardboard, plastic, metal and coated surfaces
• Tip type: fiber/solid tip providing consistent line width
• Typical line width: suitable for medium to bold markings

How to use

Shake the marker before use to ensure the ink is mixed and press the tip gently to activate flow if required. Apply steady pressure and move the marker at a consistent speed to produce even lines. Allow the ink to dry briefly on non-porous surfaces to minimize smearing. Store the marker horizontally when not in use and recap securely after each use to preserve the freeze-resistant properties and prevent drying.

Usage recommendations

For best results in cold environments, keep spare markers indoors at room temperature before taking them into the field; this helps maintain immediate ink flow. Test on an inconspicuous area if surface compatibility is uncertain, and replace the cap promptly after use to protect the tip and ink integrity.
