The organic solvent 1,1,1-trichloroethane was originally used as a thinner in the product. This solvent is readily absorbed by the lungs via inhalation. It passes readily through the blood–brain barrier and may be lethal following acute exposure. [6] 1,1,1-trichloroethane is also an ' ozone depleter', being one of the substances responsible for causing damage to the Earth's ozone layer. [7] For both reasons, it has not been added to Tipp-Ex since 2000, and it has been replaced by aliphatic hydrocarbons. [8] See also [ edit ]

Tipp-Ex correction fluid is a white liquid. It is used for painting over mistakes in a piece of writing. A brush (which was later replaced by a foam applicator) is attached to the cap, so when the bottle is closed, the brush is immersed in the fluid. When unscrewed, the brush is covered in liquid Tipp-Ex which is then painted over the mistake. However, it is still possible to see that the product has been used, and also the original content if the paper is held up to a light. To open the housing the red nose has to be opened or pulled off. Remove the top, which is the one with the hole for the screwdriver. The inner workings of the mouse will then appear underneath. Standard deliveries are made Monday to Friday between 8.00am and 5.30pm with special services available. Tipp-Ex correction paper was invented by Wolfgang Dabisch from Eltville, West Germany, who filed a patent in 1958 [2] on Colored film for the correction of typing errors (German: Tippfehler). He subsequently founded a company of the same name. Shortly after that a Tipp-Ex Sales & Distribution company (Tipp-Ex Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG) was founded in Frankfurt by Otto Carls. This company still exists under the name of Tipp-Ex GmbH & Co. KG close to Frankfurt. The repair is very easy, even if it is a bit messy (Attention: Tipp-Ex is really hard to get off!).Thiscorrection tapeis already dry which allows you to write on it straight after applying. It's also solvent free which makes it ideal to be used by children. Here at Staples we think these correction tapes can be used at home or in the office. First open the case carefully with a screwdriver, do not use too much force, otherwise the plastic or the pins that hold the case together inside will break.

In 1997, Société Bic acquired Tipp-Ex. [5] Usage [ edit ] Tipp-Ex can often be written on after it has dried. One must write with a ball point pen on top of Tipp-Ex, as a liquid ink pen will smudge. Gel ink will require a few seconds to fully dry, but can be used if no ball point pen is available.

[4] Tipp-Ex GmbH only started to produce white correction fluid in 1965 under the brand Tipp-Ex, but also as C-fluid.
