==Parts== The marker reservoir, which holds the ink, is formed from [[polyester]]. The "[[felt]]" used for the tip is usually made of highly compressed synthetic fibers or porous ceramics. [[Toluol]] and [[xylol]] were used as [[solvent]]s for the dye and are still used for the indelible ink in permanent markers. Due to their toxicity, they have often been replaced with less critical substances such as [[alkyl]] or cyclic alkylene carbonates (like [[propylene carbonate]]) in other types of markers. Water content of the ink can be up to 10%. Besides solvents and the dye itself, the ink may contain additives (e.g. nonylphenylpolyglycol ether, alkylpoly-[[glycol ether]], fatty acid polyglycol ester, or fatty alcohol ethoxalates) and preservatives (e.g. [[2-Phenylphenol]] and its sodium salt, 6-acetoxy-2,4-dimethyl-m-[[dioxane]]).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Marker.html |title=How marker is made - material, manufacture, making, history, used, product, machine, History, Raw Materials |publisher=Madehow.com |date=1997-07-14 |access-date=2017-02-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202053046/http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Marker.html |archive-date=2017-02-02 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |author=David A.
