Pilot SCA-400 Permanent Marker, Broad Chisel Tip, Quick-Dry, Water & Fade-Resistant, Smooth Flow, Writes on Most Surfaces, Ideal for Label & Marking, Red - Pack of 12

The Pilot SCA-400 is a red permanent marker featuring quick-dry, alcohol-based ink that is xylene-free, with a 24-hour cap-off life. It writes boldly on most surfaces, making it ideal for labeling, signage, packaging, and workshop labeling in facilities and classrooms. It comes in a pack of 12.

It works well on a wide range of surfaces such as cardboard, paper, plastic, metal, and wood, including shipping cartons and glossy tags. Its ink is designed to be smudge-resistant on many common materials.

Key specs include a broad chisel tip for bold fills and clear outlines, high-coverage red ink for strong visibility, a smudge-resistant finish, a robust barrel for rough handling, and a 24-hour cap-off life to maintain readiness between uses.

The SCA-400 uses a broad chisel tip intended to fill boldly and outline clearly. Line width can vary with angle and pressure, allowing both strong fills and noticeable outlines on surfaces like shipping cartons.

Shake gently with the cap on if starting fresh, remove the cap, prime the tip on scrap paper if needed, and test a line before applying to the final surface. Apply with steady, even pressure and recap after use to preserve the ink.

The marker has a 24-hour cap-off life, meaning it can remain usable for up to a day without the cap. Store it capped and upright or horizontally to help maintain tip integrity and ink readiness.

Yes. The ink is alcohol-based and xylene-free, designed to be safer for indoor environments. As with any marker, use in a well-ventilated area, avoid contact with eyes or skin, and keep out of reach of young children.

Compared to similar Pilot SCA markers, the SCA-400 focuses on bold, high-visibility lines with a broad tip. For finer lines, you might consider SCA-300; for even broader lines or different use cases, SCA-450/SCA-500 variants exist. Each offers comparable ink safety (xylene-free) and quick-dry performance, with differences mainly in nib sizing and line width. See related options on Fepy:
