Erasers are generally just a piece of rubber. The rubber is usually also bit a harder but still flexible. When you try to erase something with an eraser, it usually takes multiple rubs as the eraser first needs to be softened and turned sticky. Before if softens, the eraser works on loosening the graphite particles from the fibers by scratching against the surface.
