Leviathan Industrial Crayons
Leviathan specialises in industrial marking crayons for the construction, manufacturing, and timber industries. The range covers lumber crayons for timber yard and framing applications and heavier-duty industrial crayons for marking steel, concrete, and general construction substrates. AIMS Industrial stocks Leviathan crayons as part of our markers, inks, and labelling range — available to builders, fabricators, sawmills, and industrial operations requiring reliable, legible marking across difficult surfaces.
Leviathan No.3 Lumber Crayons
The Leviathan No.3 Lumber Crayon is a purpose-designed marking tool for timber yards, framing contractors, joinery shops, and construction sites. Lumber crayons produce bold, highly visible marks on rough-sawn timber, treated pine, and green unseasoned timber where standard markers leave inadequate impressions. The flat, waxy formula transfers cleanly to rough and splintered surfaces without dragging or breaking, producing thick, opaque lines for cut marks, grading references, and measuring marks that must remain legible through handling, stacking, and outdoor exposure. Available in Black, Red, Blue, Green, White, and Fluorescent Orange — supporting colour-coded marking systems commonly used on construction and timber sites.
Leviathan Industrial Crayons
The Leviathan Industrial Crayon is a larger, heavier format for marking on steel, concrete, painted surfaces, and the difficult substrates found in fabrication and industrial maintenance environments. Industrial crayons produce marks that stay visible on dark, oily, and dirty surfaces where pencils and felt-tip markers fail to adhere or leave marks that are unreadable within minutes. The formula adheres to metal and concrete without smearing during handling, providing a durable reference mark that stays legible through the fabrication or construction operation it identifies. Available in Black, Red, White, Fluorescent Orange, and Fluorescent Red for high-visibility marking requirements.
Colour Coding in Construction and Fabrication
Colour-coded marking crayons are used across construction, steel fabrication, and the timber industry to assign meaning to mark colour — red for reject, green for approved, different colours for distinct cut lines, grades, or work stages. Fluorescent colours serve safety and quality inspection roles where marks must be immediately visible and distinct from general construction markings. Leviathan's colour range supports consistent colour-coding across site operations without requiring multiple brands or product types to cover the full colour palette needed.
Marking Crayons for Australian Industry
Marking crayons are a consumable item — sites and workshops require regular restocking to keep operations running smoothly. AIMS Industrial is an Australian business supplying industrial consumables since 1988, with fast dispatch to trade customers across the country.

People Also Ask — Leviathan
Q: What's the difference between Leviathan's Lumber Crayon and its Industrial Crayon?
The Lumber Crayon is a flat, waxy formula designed for rough-sawn timber, treated pine, and green unseasoned timber — it transfers cleanly to rough and splintered surfaces without dragging or breaking. The Industrial Crayon is a larger, heavier format built for steel, concrete, painted surfaces, and other difficult substrates found in fabrication and maintenance environments, producing marks that stay visible on dark, oily, and dirty surfaces where the lumber formula isn't designed to adhere.
Q: Why does colour coding matter in construction and steel fabrication marking?
Colour-coded crayons let a site assign meaning to mark colour — red for reject, green for approved, different colours for distinct cut lines, grades, or work stages — so anyone on site can read a mark's meaning at a glance without checking documentation. Fluorescent colours add a further safety and quality-inspection role, since they need to stand out immediately from general construction marking rather than blend in with it.
Q: Why won't a lumber crayon mark concrete or steel properly?
A crayon's wax formula is tuned to the surface it's designed for — the lumber crayon's softer, flatter wax is built to grip rough-sawn and splintery timber, while concrete, steel, and painted surfaces need the Industrial Crayon's heavier, harder-adhering formula to avoid smearing or failing to bond. Using the wrong crayon for the substrate typically means faint, smeared, or short-lived marks.
Q: Does weather affect how long a crayon mark stays legible outdoors?
Yes — weather and UV exposure affect how long a crayon mark remains visible, which is why a solid wax crayon formula is the right choice for outdoor construction and timber yard marking rather than a lighter marking product. Marks that need to survive handling, stacking, and days or weeks of outdoor exposure depend on the crayon's wax durability holding up under sun and rain.
Q: Why does Leviathan offer fluorescent colours alongside standard black, red, and blue?
Fluorescent Orange and Fluorescent Red crayons are stocked specifically for high-visibility requirements — safety marking and quality inspection roles where a mark needs to be immediately distinct from the general run of construction or grading marks on site, rather than just adding another option to the standard colour-coding palette.
