  However, when the compound described in the above-mentioned patent document is added, the erasability is poor depending on the material of the writing board, and it cannot be erased unless it is strongly rubbed. May remain completely unerasable.

  The present invention is intended to solve the problems of conventional oil-based ink compositions for writing boards, that is, regardless of the material of the writing board, even if a long period of time has elapsed after handwriting formation, An oil-based marking pen ink composition for a writing board that can be easily and reliably scratched and erased.

The present invention provides an oil-based marking pen ink composition for a writing board comprising at least a pigment, a resin, an organic solvent, and a neopentyl polyol fatty acid ester, wherein the fatty acid group of the ester is in the range of 4 to 20 carbon atoms. Requirement.
Furthermore, the neopentyl polyol fatty acid ester is added in the range of 3 to 20% by weight in the total amount of the ink composition, and the organic solvent is one or more selected from ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol. It is a requirement.
Furthermore, it is necessary to include one or more selected from sulfuric acid ester of polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether, sulfuric acid ester of polyoxyalkylene alkyl aryl ether, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester, or salts thereof.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an oil-based marking pen ink composition for a writing board that can easily and reliably scratch and erase the handwriting even when a long time has passed since the writing was formed, regardless of the material of the writing board.

  In the present invention, excellent erasability can be obtained by adding neopentyl polyol fatty acid ester (the number of carbon atoms of the fatty acid group is in the range of 4 to 20) to the ink as a release agent.

Examples of the neopentyl polyol fatty acid ester include neopentyl glycol mono, di fatty acid ester, trimethylolpropane mono, di, tri fatty acid ester, pentaerythritol mono, di, tri, tetra fatty acid ester, and the like.
As the carbon number of the fatty acid group, a hydrocarbon group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 4 to 20 carbon atoms, is used. Those having less than 4 or more than 20 carbon atoms cannot be applied because of their poor performance as a release agent.
The neopentyl polyol fatty acid ester can be added in an amount of 3 to 20% by weight, preferably 5 to 18% by weight, based on the total amount of the ink composition.

In addition to the neopentyl polyol fatty acid ester, one or two or more kinds selected from polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether sulfates, polyoxyalkylene alkyl aryl ether sulfates and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphates or salts thereof Can be used together. Even when the surface material is written on a writing board with poor erasability such as thermosetting melamine resin, thermosetting polyester resin, polypropylene, fluororesin, etc. Regardless of handwriting, it is possible to easily erase handwriting that has been left for a long time.
Furthermore, other general-purpose release agents such as carboxylic acid esters, silicone surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and the like can be used in combination.

As said pigment, the general purpose pigment conventionally applied to oil-based ink is used suitably.
Specifically, inorganic pigments such as carbon black, ultramarine, titanium dioxide pigment, azo pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, indigo pigments, thioindigo pigments, selenium pigments, quinacridone pigments, anthraquinone pigments, selenium pigments, diketopyrrolo Organic pigments such as pyrrole pigments, dioxazine pigments, perylene pigments, perinone pigments, isoindolinone pigments, aluminum pigments, metal pigments whose surfaces are treated with colored resins, transparent or colored transparent films such as aluminum Metallic pigment, gold, silver, platinum, copper, with a thickness of 0.01 to 0.1 μm, obtained by peeling a metallic vapor deposited film such as aluminum formed on a substrate such as a metallic luster pigment, film, etc. Colloidal particles having an average particle size selected from 5 to 30 nm, fluorescent pigments, luminous pigments, thermochromic pigments Natural mica as a core material, synthetic mica, glass pieces, alumina, pearl pigment and the like to the surface of the transparent film pieces were coated with a metal oxide such as titanium oxide.
The pigment may be used alone or in combination of two or more, and is used in the range of 3 to 40% by weight in the ink composition.
In addition, general-purpose dyes such as organic solvent-soluble dyes classified as solvent dyes in the color index can be used in combination with the pigments.

The resin is used for imparting handwriting fixability to the writing surface and viscosity of the ink, and further works with the release agent to improve the scratch erasability of the handwriting.
Examples of the resin include cellulose resins such as ethyl cellulose and acetyl cellulose, and vinyl resins such as polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl acetate, and vinyl pyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer resin. Polyvinyl butyral is preferable because sufficient fixing ability can be imparted without the use of the resin.

As the organic solvent, a volatile (low boiling point) organic solvent is suitably used, and even when writing on a whiteboard, the handwriting has excellent drying properties. Therefore, when the handwriting immediately after writing is touched, undried ink is used. A good handwriting can be formed without causing problems such as adhering to the hand or contaminating a blank portion where the handwriting on the writing surface is not formed.
Examples of the organic solvent include a lower aliphatic alcohol solvent or a glycol ether solvent, and it is preferably used as a main solvent (occupying 50% by weight or more of the total solvent).
The lower aliphatic alcohol solvent is methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and the glycol ether solvent is ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether. More preferably, the lower aliphatic alcohol solvent is an aliphatic alcohol having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and the glycol ether solvent is a glycol ether having 3 to 5 carbon atoms.
Among the organic solvents, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol are particularly preferable.

  In addition, other solvents can be used in combination with the organic solvent, and hydrocarbon organic solvents such as n-heptane, n-octane, isooctane, methylcyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl Ketone organic solvents such as n-propyl ketone, methyl n-butyl ketone, di-n-propyl ketone, n-butyl formate, isobutyl formate, n-propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, ethyl propionate , Ester organic solvents such as n-butyl propionate, methyl butyrate, ethyl butyrate, methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, glycol solvents such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, benzyl glycol, benzyl alcohol, γ-butyro It can be exemplified a ton and the like.

Further, the ink composition of the present invention may contain various additives such as a handwriting whitening inhibitor, a drying resistance imparting agent, a rust inhibitor, a viscosity modifier, a pigment dispersant, and a surfactant in addition to the above components as necessary. Agents can be used.
The additive is a so-called conventional additive, and can be appropriately used as necessary from known compounds.

The ink composition is practically used by filling a marking pen with a pen tip attached to the writing tip.
The structure and shape of the marking pen itself are not particularly limited. For example, a marking pen pen tip such as a fiber tip, felt tip, plastic tip, etc. is attached to the writing tip, and from a fiber bundle accommodated inside the shaft tube The ink occlusion body is impregnated with ink, the ink is supplied to the tip of the writing, the ink is stored directly inside the shaft cylinder, and the ink flow rate adjustment member consisting of a comb groove-like ink flow rate adjustment member or fiber bundle is interposed And a marking pen having a structure in which a predetermined amount of ink is supplied to the writing tip, and a structure in which the ink is directly stored in the shaft cylinder and a predetermined amount of ink is supplied to the writing tip by a valve mechanism.
In addition to the cap-type marking pen provided with a cap that covers the pen tip, the marking pen has a knock-type, rotary type, slide type, etc. A marking pen of a formula may be used.
