Key Features :

• Dual-Function Design — integrates a whiteboard duster (eraser) with two built-in slots to hold markers, allowing for organized storage and quick access.
• Magnetic Attachment (optional variant) — the duster includes a magnet (in magnetic version) to adhere securely to compatible metal-backed whiteboards, providing convenience and reducing risk of misplacement.
• Efficient Erasing Performance — designed to wipe off dry-erase ink cleanly, leaving no traces or ghosting, maintaining a spotless whiteboard surface after each use. 
• Durable Felt Pad — the felt erasing surface is 6 mm thick, enhancing durability and ensuring effective ink/dust absorption. 
• Compact & Ergonomic Design — sized for comfortable handling and easy storage.
• Organized Workspace — marker slots help reduce clutter, prevent marker misplacement and keep writing/erasing tools together. 
• Versatility — suitable for various whiteboard surfaces (porcelain/enamel, melamine) and glass boards. The felt pad wipes dry-erase ink without scratching or damaging the board surface.

Physical & Mechanical Properties / Product Dimensions :

• Overall Dimensions: The duster features a compact and ergonomic body design measuring approximately 14.8 cm in length and 5.5 cm in width, making it easy to handle, store, and operate in classroom and office environments.
• Erasing Surface Thickness: Equipped with a 6 mm high-density felt layer, engineered to provide consistent friction and effective ink removal while maintaining a stable wiping texture across prolonged usage cycles.
• Body Material & Structure: Constructed from impact-resistant ABS polymer, the outer casing offers structural strength, dimensional stability, and durability against drops, repeated handling, and long-term daily operation.
• Weight & Handling Performance: Lightweight construction ensures user comfort during repetitive writing and erasing tasks, reducing fatigue while maintaining firm control during movement across the writing surface.
• Mechanical Durability: The product demonstrates strong wear resistance due to the combination of a rigid plastic frame and dense felt wiping material, providing consistent mechanical performance over extended periods.
• Marker Slot Configuration: Two integrated cylindrical storage cavities are molded into the body to securely house standard dry-erase marker barrels, preventing rolling or accidental displacement during use or storage.
• Surface Interaction Properties: The felt pad generates an optimal level of surface traction, ensuring smooth, uniform erasing action without applying excessive downward pressure, thereby minimizing abrasion on coated whiteboard surfaces.
• Stain & Residue Behavior: Designed for dry ink particle pickup, the felt pad retains marker dust without smudging, ensuring minimal visible residue when used with compatible dry-erase marker formulations.
• Environmental Tolerance: Suitable for standard indoor operating conditions and remains dimensionally stable under normal humidity and temperature ranges typically found in educational and professional environments.
• Edge & Surface Finish: The external surfaces are finished with smooth, rounded edges to ensure safe handling, enhanced grip comfort, and protection against accidental scratches on whiteboard surfaces.

Components & Materials :

Based on typical construction for whiteboard dusters and hints from similar products/vendors:

• Main Body / Housing: Molded plastic (likely ABS or similar durable polymer) — provides structural integrity, lightweight handling, and resistance to wear or deformation. 
• Eraser Surface (Pad): High-density felt (6 mm thick) — selected for its capacity to trap dry-erase ink/residue, resisting shedding, and offering smooth erasing without scratching. 
• Magnet (in magnetic variant): Internal magnetic strip or magnetic plate, embedded in the plastic housing, for adhesion to metal-backed whiteboards. 
• Marker Slot Inserts / Holder Regions: Molded plastic recesses to securely accommodate standard whiteboard markers (user-supplied), sized to hold typical marker barrels.

 Functional Performance & Surface Compatibility :

• Surface Compatibility: Works effectively on standard whiteboard surfaces — porcelain/enamel whiteboards, melamine board, and glass-based dry-erase boards. 
• Non-suitable Surfaces: Not designed for use on traditional chalkboards (green/black chalk boards) or porous surfaces — effectiveness is limited, may not capture chalk dust well, and felt may accumulate residue. 
• Erasing Efficiency: Dry-wipe eraser; does not rely on chemical solvents. Leaves no residue/ghosting on well-maintained board surfaces. 
• Storage & Handling: Magnetic variant adheres to metal-whiteboards for storage; otherwise can be placed on tray/desk — marker slots keep markers secure and prevent loss.

Storage Instructions & Shelf-life :

• Estimated Product Lifespan: ≥ 5 years under standard operational conditions.
• Avoid excessive force, crushing load, or high-impact drops to prevent structural deformation.
• Store in a clean, dry environment to maintain felt longevity and prevent ink saturation over time.

FAQs :

Q: Does the duster leave any residue or traces on the board after erasing?
A: No - the duster is designed to wipe the board clean and clear without leaving traces.

Q: Can the duster be used on glass boards or other surfaces besides standard whiteboards?
A: Yes - the felt pad works on non-porous surfaces such as glass dry-erase boards or windows where dry-erase markers are used. It will erase marks cleanly. 

Q: Does this duster come with markers?
A: This particular variant (“Without Markers”) does not include markers - it only provides the duster with two empty marker slots so you can use your preferred markers. 

Q: Will it work on a chalkboard (traditional black/green board)?
A: The duster is optimised for dry-erase (whiteboard) surfaces. While the felt might remove some chalk dust, it is not ideal for chalkboards - traditional chalkboard erasers are recommended for best results. 

Q: How do I clean the duster itself if it gets dirty over time?
A: Best practice is to tap it outside or over a trash bin to shake off ink dust. For deeper cleaning, a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment can be used. Avoid soaking in water. Q: Will the magnet affect the board or other magnetic items?
A: The magnet is internal and designed to adhere safely to magnetic whiteboard surfaces. It should not damage the board. However, as with any magnet, avoid placing near sensitive electronics or magnetic media.

Q: Is this duster suitable for heavy/frequent use environments (e.g. classrooms)?
A: Yes - given the thick 6 mm felt pad and durable plastic housing, it is well-suited for frequent daily use. Regular maintenance (tapping/vacuuming) will help sustain performance over time.
