What Is a White Eraser

This is a soft plastic, almost rubbery eraser which contains no abrasive pumice or grit. It feels smooth and buttery when rubbed against paper and it leaves a minimal amount of debris.

Are erasers plastic or rubber?

Erasers have a rubbery consistency and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Some pencils have an eraser on one end. Less expensive erasers are made from synthetic rubber and synthetic soy-based gum, but more expensive or specialized erasers are made from vinyl, plastic, or gum-like materials.

What chemicals are erasers made of?

Several synthetic rubber compounds have been used to make erasers. These include isoprene-isobutylene (butyl rubber), styrene-butadiene, and ethylene-propylene copolymers.
