Lead Refill Staedtler Mars Carbon 200-2H grijs

The Staedtler Mars Carbon 200-2H Grey lead refill is a 2 mm diameter mechanical pencil lead designed for precision work. Its 2H hardness produces light grey lines that suit technical drawing, fine writing and detailed sketching. The refill is supplied in a box with multiple leads to cover extended use and is compatible with mechanical holders that accept 2 mm leads.

Advantages

The 2 mm carbon lead delivers consistent, break-resistant strokes with uniform tone and minimal smudging. Its 2H grade provides controlled, light marking suitable for layered sketching and professional drafting. The grey tone maintains clarity on tracing paper and drawing boards while preserving erasure quality for corrections.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and architectural sketches

• Preliminary sketches and layout work
• Students and artists needing durable 2 mm leads

How to use

Insert a 2 mm lead into a compatible mechanical holder following the holder manufacturer’s instructions.

Erase or adjust lines using a suitable eraser for graphite/carbon leads.

Recommendations

Store leads in their original box or a protective case to prevent tips from chipping. Use a sharpener or lead-pointer specifically designed for 2 mm leads if you need a finer tip. Keep away from moisture to preserve writing quality.
