A marker board system having a dark colored, low hardness, low surface energy solid silicone sheet to wet to a vertically oriented high surface energy substrate on a smooth, flat back-side of the solid silicone sheet. A front-side of the solid silicone sheet is able to be written upon by brightly colored marker ink. The brightly colored marker ink is able to be easily erased from the front-side of the solid silicone sheet after being written upon the front-side of the solid silicone sheet. The front-side is roughened to diminish beading of the brightly colored marker ink when written on the front-side.

A re-useable writing surface reusably and removably coupled to exterior surfaces is disclosed. The re-useable writing surface may include a porous layer. The porous layer may define one or more cells. The re-usable writing surface may further include a non-adhesive coating applied to a side of the porous layer. The re-usable writing surface may further include a writeable layer coupled to a different side of the porous layer. The writeable layer may be configured to allow a user to draft and erase content. The non-adhesive coating can enable the re-useable writing surface to reusably and removably couple to exterior surfaces.

An erasable slate system includes a translucent layer adjacent a colored bottom layer, wherein application of a force to the translucent layer causes temporary adhesion of the translucent layer to the colored bottom layer in an area wherein the force is applied. The erasable slate system further includes an extending channel in fluid connection with the translucent layer and the colored bottom layer. The extending channel extends around at least 25% of the length of a perimeter of the bottom colored layer. The erasable slate system further includes an air pump in fluid connection with the extending channel via which pressurized air can be introduced into the extending channel to cause the translucent layer to be separated from adhesion to the colored bottom layer, thereby erasing markings, and via which air can exit the extending channel of the erasable slate system.

Disclosed is a writing board attached to a surface for receiving notes or instructions from a user. The writing board includes vinyl foam, a flexible coating, and an adhesive layer. The writing board further includes a second temporary backing film. The vinyl foam includes a top surface and a microscopic cavernous surface. The flexible coating is coated on one of the microscopic cavernous surface to render the vinyl foam air-tight. The temporary backing film covers the microscopic cavernous surface coated with the flexible coating. A user peels off the temporary backing film to firmly attach the vinyl foam to the surface. The erase film is attached to the top surface of the vinyl foam. The erase film allows the user to write and erase content. The adhesive layer attaches the erase film to the top surface of the vinyl foam.

The present invention generally relates to a modular erasable writing panel configured to interconnect with a surface prepared with mounting units. The mounting units provide an interface between a multi-sided modular erasable writing panel and another surface such as a wall, cabinet, or other surface. The writing panel is configured to provide multiple erasable writing surfaces configured to interconnect without adhesive to the mounting units wherein repeated dismounting of the erasable writing surface does not debilitate the adhesive bond between the mounting units and the existing surface. The mounting unit provide micro-suction elements configured to removably interconnect the writing panel with the mounting unit repeatedly without diminishing the holding bond between the mounting unit and the writing panel.

An erasable writable material for large format applications is disclosed, and includes a cast polyvinylchloride film with a mount surface opposite an etched receiver surface. Also incorporated is a transparent polyester film that has a marking side with a hardness exceeding approximately shore D 79 and an opposite seal side, hermetically laminated to the receiver surface. The marking side includes a clear superstrate that has a hardness exceeding approximately shore D 90, which is applied to the marking side of the polyester film to lower surface energy below about 24 millinewtons per meter. The receiver surface is treated to have a surface energy exceeding about 45 millinewtons per meter, to enable improved adherence of printed and preformed graphic elements, which are encapsulated when laminated between the PET film and receiver surface. The superstrate includes a perfluoropolyether, a polyurethane, an acrylated polyurethane, and/or an acrylate resin to harden the material.
