Chalkboard History and manufacture from the Wikipedia, Blackboard site.
A blackboard can simply be a board painted with matte dark paint (usually black, occasionally dark green). Matte black plastic sign material (known as ‘closed-cell PVC foamboard’) is also used to create custom chalkboard art. The highest grade blackboards are made of a rougher version porcelain enamelled steel (black, green, blue or sometimes other colours). Porcelain is very hard wearing and blackboards made of porcelain usually last 10–20 years in intensive use.
Manufacturing of slate blackboards began by the 1840s. Green chalkboards, generally made of porcelain enamel on a steel base, first appeared in the 1960s.
