Composition: Wax crayons consist of waxes as binding agents, colour pigments and inorganic fillers, such as talcum or kaolin. Water-based pencils additionally contain emulsifiers.
Among other things, wax crayons are used in art lessons at school to produce scratch pictures by first painting a sheet of paper completely in colour and then painting it over completely in black. The black layer is then partially scratched away so that the underlying colourful layer of paint becomes visible.
So-called marking crayons are wax crayons used in industry and handicraft for lettering and marking on smooth surfaces. Also called marking chalks are the so-called forest chalks used for markings in forestry and construction industry.
Wax marking crayons in the type of coloured pencils, such as glass pencils, are called grease pencils.
The American Edwin Binney (1866-1934) is considered the inventor, who first produced them in 1903 together with C. Harold Smith. The company he founded, Crayola (formerly Binney & Smith Inc), is today the world’s largest manufacturer of wax crayons.
