Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title composition which will prevent the wear of a ball seat and has excellent delivery characteristics, by mixing a pigment, a resin, a metal salt and/or amine salt of a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether acetate, a solvent, and water. CONSTITUTION:0.1-7wt% metal salt and/or amine salt of a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether acetate of the formula (wherein R is alkyl; n is 2-10) (e.g., sodium polyoxyethylene oleyl ether acetate) is added to a ball-point ink composition which consists of at least a pigment (e.g., carbon black), a resin (e.g., a styrene- maleic resin), a solvent (e.g., ethylene glycol), water and, if necessary, a wetting agent, an antifreezing agent, an antiseptic, a mildewproofing agent, etc. and has a viscosity of 50-2,000cps (25 deg.C).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an ink composition for a ballpoint pen that ensures good ink ejection properties by preventing as much as possible the wear of the ball seat due to the rotation of the ball. It is something.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventional ballpoint pens are known to be oil-based or water-based, but oil-based ballpoint pens have an extremely simple structure, and the amount of ink remaining can be seen at a glance. On the other hand, because it is a highly viscous ink of several thousand to 10,000 PS, the ink does not penetrate well into the writing surface, resulting in smudges and cracked handwriting. Moreover, in the case of water-based ballpoint pen, contrary to oil-based pens, there is no smearing, and on the other hand, fresh and clear handwriting can be obtained.

Dye-type inks that use dyes as colorants are insufficient in terms of light fastness and water resistance, and pigment-type inks that use pigments have relatively poor lubricity for the ball seats. is noticeable, resulting in short writing distances, strange noises, and both types require structural problems such as intervening an ink relay member between the ink storage part and the ballpoint pen nib. It has the disadvantage that it tends to be complicated.

Based on these circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have developed a pigment-type ballpoint pen that fully utilizes the characteristics of pigments, which are both functionally and economically superior and have both the advantages of oil-based ballpoint pens and water-based ballpoint pens. After conducting various studies to obtain this, one finding was that the viscosity of the ink was 50 to 2000C at 25℃! We have come to the conclusion that it is optimal to prepare the resin within the range of PS.

However, if the viscosity of the ink with dispersed pigments is simply set within the above range using a resin or the like, and the ink is directly filled into a ballpoint pen and used for writing, the ball seat will wear out due to the rotational friction of the ball, causing the ball to sink. However, as a result, the ink flow groove in the ballpoint pen tip is blocked by the ball, causing a problem in ink ejection properties, and eventually causing problems such as the inability to write. In conventional water-based ballpoint pens.

Since the ink used has a low viscosity of a few CPS, even if ball sinking occurs, problems with the ink ejection amount can be ignored to some extent due to the capillary force. Even in oil-based ballpoint pens that use ink, the ink itself acts as a lubricant due to its high viscosity, which prevents the ball from sinking and there were no problems with ink ejection. be.
