Eraser Staedtler 526 80BK2 green, pack of 2, latex- and phthalate-free

Staedtler 526 80BK2 green is a pack of two general-purpose erasers designed for clean correction on paper. Each rectangular eraser measures 65 x 23 x 13 mm and comes in a sliding paper sleeve for convenient handling. The product is latex- and phthalate-free and is supplied in blister packaging that protects each eraser until use. Materials and production incorporate natural and recycled components and manufacturing with renewable electricity.

Advantages

The erasers combine precise removal with a compact shape that supports accurate corrections. At least 56% of the material is of natural origin according to EN16785-2 and the sleeve is made from up to 100% natural material obtained from sugar cane byproducts. The product also contains a small percentage of plant-based flour derived from corn or olive byproducts, and the overall packaging uses recycled cardboard. Manufactured in Germany with 100% green electricity, the design aims to reduce environmental footprint while remaining free from latex and phthalates.

Suitable for

• Students for schoolwork and homework corrections
• Artists doing sketching and fine pencil work
• Office use for everyday pencil corrections
• Home use for lists, notes and drawing

When it may not be suitable

This eraser is intended for use on paper and other standard drawing surfaces; it may be less effective or abrasive on delicate papers, coated papers, or specialised archival materials. It is not formulated for removing ink, permanent marker, or heavy graphite layers where a dedicated ink remover or abrasive tool would be required.

How to use

Slide back the paper sleeve to expose a clean edge of the eraser. Gently rub the eraser over pencil marks with light, controlled strokes to remove graphite without excessive pressure. For precise corrections use the narrower edge or corner; replace the sleeve to protect the eraser when not in use. After extended use, tear-off worn portions to reveal a fresh surface if necessary and discard sleeve and packaging according to local recycling guidelines.

What to consider before purchase

• Designed for pencil/graphite correction on paper surfaces, not for ink removal
• Check dimensions (65 x 23 x 13 mm) to ensure the size meets your handling preferences
• If you require an eraser for delicate archival paper, consider a product specified for archival use

Usage recommendations

Use light, controlled strokes and the eraser's narrow edges for precision. Store in the sleeve or blister to keep the eraser clean and protect it from dust. Recycle the cardboard packaging where facilities exist.
