→Varieties: minor erasures
Erasers have continues to develop and change. Erasers made solely from vulcanized rubber have become less popular, while other types have arisen. The most popular kind of modern eraser which us usually a pink color and coarse to the touch is made with pulverized pumice (volcanic ash), such as the popular ''Pink Pearl'' brand.<ref name="TheAtlantic">http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/08/10-things-you-probably-did-not-know-about-eraser-technology/279028</ref><br />

Another common variety is the relatively new vinyl eraser. Tpolyvinyl chloride, mixed with calcium carbonate (which neutralizes hydrogen chloride, produced as PVC ages), and Pthlalate plasticizers (which keeps the material soft) is used to create this effective and minimally abrasive eraser.<br />

Other varieties have also been created, including Art Gum erasers (which does not damage paper, but leaves significant residue) and Kneaded erasers (which leave no reside and do not wear away).<ref name="about.com">http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistryfaqs/f/eraser.htm</ref>
