{"product_id":"staedtler-wopex-extruded-graphite-pencils","title":"WOPEX Extruded Graphite Pencils","description":"\u003cp\u003eExtruded manufacturing transforms wood byproducts into remarkably durable pencils. Staedtler combines fine wood dust from German sawmills with polymer binders, creating a paste that's simultaneously extruded with graphite to form the complete pencil body. This process eliminates traditional wood casing entirely while delivering twice the writing life of standard pencils and significantly higher break resistance, crucial advantages for classroom use and field sketching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HB grade provides versatile mark-making across sketching, note-taking, and technical drawing. Smooth graphite laydown requires minimal pressure, reducing hand fatigue during extended sessions while maintaining consistent line quality. Integrated white plastic erasers match Staedtler's paper-friendly formula, lifting graphite cleanly without excessive surface damage or ghosting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnvironmental benefits extend beyond using sawmill waste destined for disposal: 70% of the wood originates from sustainably managed German forests near Staedtler's manufacturing center, reducing transportation impact. The non-toxic formulation contains no latex or PVC, making these pencils appropriate for artists of all ages, including those with sensitivities. Pre-consumer upcycling prevents resource waste while delivering performance that matches traditional pencil construction, you sacrifice nothing for the ecological approach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Staedtler","offers":[{"title":"pack of 10","offer_id":47979438932197,"sku":"60654","price":2.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"pack of 20","offer_id":47979438964965,"sku":"76363","price":4.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s60654.jpg?v=1770302755","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/staedtler-wopex-extruded-graphite-pencils","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
