It passes readily through the blood–brain barrier and may be lethal following acute exposure. This solvent is readily absorbed by the lungs via inhalation. The organic solvent 1,1,1-trichloroethane was originally used as a thinner in the product. Gel ink will require a few seconds to fully dry, but can be used if no ball point pen is available. One must write with a ball point pen on top of Tipp-Ex, as a liquid ink pen will smudge. To help prevent this, Tipp-Ex released a product called " Tipp-Ex thinner", a few drops of which are mixed with the contents of a bottle of partially dried Tipp-Ex to thin it. If the contents of a Tipp-Ex bottle have been exposed to too much air (for example, if the cap has been unscrewed too long or if the bottle is half-full and there is air filling the space), the fluid becomes thicker, and sometimes even solidifies. However, it is still possible to see that the product has been used, and also the original content if the paper is held up to a light.

When unscrewed, the brush is covered in liquid Tipp-Ex which is then painted over the mistake. A brush (which was later replaced by a foam applicator) is attached to the cap, so when the bottle is closed, the brush is immersed in the fluid. It is used for painting over mistakes in a piece of writing. Tipp-Ex correction fluid is a white liquid.

Tipp-Ex can often be written on after it has dried. The range was extended to erasers, and in 2000, the new foam applicator was adapted to all the correction fluid bottles. In 1998, the correction pen was launched. In 1992 Tipp-Ex introduced its first correction tape, followed in 1995 by the successful Pocket Mouse which worked as a best seller.

The typewriter would be backspaced to the letter that was to be changed, the correction paper would be placed behind the ribbon, and the mistyped letter would be re-typed.
