Writing instrument of the present disclosure
The aqueous ink composition for writing instruments according to the present disclosure, which is obtained by mounting the above-described characteristic of the present disclosure 1 or 2, on the writing instrument, provides a writing instrument which has a low gloss and a uniform coating film, and is excellent in scratch resistance, water-resistant fixation property, and the like even when written on a non-absorbing surface.
The writing instrument of the present disclosure is mounted on, for example, a ballpoint pen, a marker, or the like having a pen tip such as a ballpoint pen tip, a fiber tip, a felt tip, a plastic tip, a fiber core, or a porous core.
In the present disclosure, the term "marker" refers to a pen having a mechanism for supplying ink stored in an ink reservoir to a writing portion made of resin by utilizing capillary phenomenon, and includes a pen referred to as a "sign pen". The "ballpoint pen" is a pen having a mechanism for allowing ink stored in an ink storage portion to ooze out by rotation of a ball provided in a writing portion.
As a ballpoint pen, the aqueous ink composition for writing instruments having the above composition is stored in an ink storage body (cartridge) for ballpoint pen having a ball with a diameter of 0.18 to 2.0mm, and an ink follower is added. The ink follower uses a liquid, such as polybutene, silicone oil, mineral oil, etc., which is not compatible with the aqueous ink composition for writing instrument having the above characteristics stored in the ink storage body and has a specific gravity smaller than that of the aqueous ink composition.
The structure of the ballpoint pen, the marker pen, and the like is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a direct-liquid ballpoint pen or a marker pen having a collector structure (ink holding mechanism) in which the ink container is filled with the aqueous ink composition for a writing instrument having the above-described structure in the barrel.
