Description

本発明は、隠蔽性が高く鮮明な筆跡を長期に亘り維持することができる筆記具用インキ組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to an ink composition for a writing instrument that has a high concealability and can maintain a clear handwriting over a long period of time.

一般に、酸化チタンは、その優れた光散乱効果により、白色度、隠蔽度を付与することができる顔料であり、白色顔料及び隠蔽型修正液として使用されている。その使用方法としては、酸化チタンそのものを水や有機溶媒からなる液体媒体中に分散させた水性又は油性などのインキ組成物を調製し、修正液や筆記具用インキなどとして使用されている。
しかしながら、酸化チタン自身の比重は、3.8〜4.1と非常に大きく、分散体中の粒子径を小さくしても沈降及び分離現象が発生する大きな欠点を有している。
In general, titanium oxide is a pigment that can impart whiteness and concealment due to its excellent light scattering effect, and is used as a white pigment and concealment type correction liquid. As its use method, an aqueous or oil-based ink composition in which titanium oxide itself is dispersed in a liquid medium composed of water or an organic solvent is prepared and used as a correction liquid, a writing instrument ink, or the like.
However, the specific gravity of titanium oxide itself is very large, such as 3.8 to 4.1, and has a serious drawback that sedimentation and separation occur even if the particle size in the dispersion is reduced.

このような欠点を解消するものとして、筆記具用インキでは、例えば、酸化チタンとサクシノグルカンからなる高分子多糖類と水とより少なくともなる水性インキ組成物(例えば、特許文献1参照)や、酸化チタンとオレイン酸を必須成分として含むボールペン用水性インキ(例えば、特許文献2参照)、また、必須成分として酸化チタンを内包したマイクロカプセル顔料と、水と、水溶性有機溶剤とから少なくともなるボールペン用水性インキ組成物(例えば、特許文献3参照)が知られている。   In order to eliminate such drawbacks, in the ink for writing instruments, for example, an aqueous ink composition (for example, see Patent Document 1) comprising at least a high molecular weight polysaccharide composed of titanium oxide and succinoglucan and water, or oxidation. Water-based ink for ballpoint pens containing titanium and oleic acid as essential components (for example, see Patent Document 2), and for ballpoint pens comprising at least a microcapsule pigment containing titanium oxide as essential components, water, and a water-soluble organic solvent A water-based ink composition (for example, see Patent Document 3) is known.

しかしながら、上記特許文献1及び2に記載される水性インキ組成物では、当初は酸化チタンの沈降分離が若干抑制されるが、時間がたつにつれ沈降及び分離現象が生じるなどの点に未だ課題があるものである。また、上記特許文献3に記載される水性インキ組成物は、沈降及び分離現象は幾分解消されるものであるが、マイクロカプセル顔料製造時の隠蔽性粒子の脱落があったり、隠蔽性粒子の粒子径の均一化が難しく、更に、マイクロカプセルの粒子径の均一化及びマイクロカプセル内の粒子数の均一化が難しく、安定な品質を有するマイクロカプセル顔料を得ることが難しい点に未だ課題があるものである。

However, in the water-based ink compositions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, initially, precipitation and separation of titanium oxide are slightly suppressed, but there are still problems in that precipitation and separation phenomena occur over time. Is. In addition, the water-based ink composition described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 3 is somewhat free from sedimentation and separation phenomena. However, the concealing particles may fall off during the production of the microcapsule pigment, There is still a problem in that it is difficult to obtain a microcapsule pigment having a stable quality because it is difficult to make the particle size uniform, and it is difficult to make the particle size of the microcapsule and the number of particles in the microcapsule uniform. Is.

The ink composition for a writing instrument of the present invention is a conventionally known writing instrument using the composite particles A and / or B having the above characteristics, a dispersant, a viscosity modifier, each ink component (solvent, resin, coloring material, additive) and the like. It can manufacture by applying the manufacturing method of an ink composition. That is, by mixing the composite particles A and / or B, a dispersant, a viscosity modifier, a coloring material, a resin, a solvent, and an additive using a dispersion mixer and a stirrer, a water-based ink for an intended writing instrument, oily Ink, gel ink composition and the like can be obtained.
In addition, a filter, a centrifuge, etc. can be used as needed, such as using a filter to remove coarse particles such as organic pigments during production.

本発明の筆記具用インキ組成物の粘度は、好ましくは、流出量やインキ安定性の点から、ELD粘度計における25℃、50rpmの粘度が、3〜50mPa・s、更に好ましくは、3〜30mPa・sとすることが望ましい。

If this viscosity exceeds 50 mPa · s, the writing feel becomes heavier and it becomes difficult to write smoothly, and conversely, if it is less than 3 mPa · s, there is significant pigment sedimentation and bleeding at the nib, It is not preferable.

本発明において、筆記具用インキ組成物は、ボールペン用、サインペン用、筆ペン用の水性インキ、油性インキ、ゲルインキ等に好適に用いることができるものであり、本発明の筆記具用インキ組成物を充填する筆記具の構造としては、上記筆記具用インキ組成物が充填され本発明の効果が発揮できるように筆記できるものであれば、その構造は特に限定されるものではない。

In the present invention, the ink composition for writing instruments can be suitably used for water-based inks, oil-based inks, gel inks, etc. for ballpoint pens, sign pens, brush pens, etc., and is filled with the ink composition for writing instruments of the present invention. The structure of the writing instrument is not particularly limited as long as it can be written so that the ink composition for a writing instrument is filled and the effects of the present invention can be exhibited.
Preferably, for a sign pen for a batting type writing instrument that contains an ink occlusion body that occludes the ink composition for a writing instrument of the present invention from the viewpoint of an ink that stably disperses composite particles having low viscosity and concealment for a long period of time. It can be suitably used as an ink.

このように構成される本発明の筆記具用インキ組成物が、何故これまでの発明と比較して優れているという理由としては、以下のように推察される。
従来、酸化チタン顔料を使用した筆記具用インキ組成物は、その比重の大きさのため、インキ組成物中に長期的安定に分散させることができなかった。これに対して、本発明の筆記具用インキ組成物では、用いる複合粒子が、真密度が1.0g/cm以下の高分子樹脂中に隠蔽性粒子が分散されている複合粒子A、及び/又は、該複合粒子Aの表面に隠蔽性材料となる隠蔽性粒子を固定化してなる複合粒子Bが含有されるものとなるので、比重が小さく、隠蔽性、白色性に優れ、長期に安定で沈降しない白色性、隠蔽性が高く鮮明な筆跡を長期に亘り維持することができる筆記具用インキ組成物を提供することができるものとなる。
また、特開2000−265105号公報に記載される酸化チタンを内包したマイクロカプセル顔料を含有するボールペン用水性インキ組成物は、沈降及び分離現象は幾分解消されるものであるが、マイクロカプセル顔料製造時の隠蔽性粒子の脱落があったり、隠蔽性粒子の粒子径の均一化が難しく、更に、マイクロカプセルの粒子径の均一化及びマイクロカプセル内の粒子数の均一化が難しいものであるが、本発明では、真密度が1.0g/cm3以下の高分子樹脂中に隠蔽性粒子が分散されている複合粒子を用いるので、隠蔽性粒子の脱落がなく、隠蔽性粒子の粒子径の均一化、更に、複合粒子径の均一化及び粒子数の均一化が達成された安定な品質を有する複合粒子を用いることとなるため、単に酸化チタンを内包したマイクロカプセル顔料に較べ、優れた機能、すなわち、今までにない長期に安定で沈降しない白色性、隠蔽性が高く鮮明な筆跡を長期に亘り維持することができる筆記具用インキ組成物が得られるものとなる。
The reason why the ink composition for a writing instrument of the present invention configured as described above is superior to the conventional invention is presumed as follows.
Conventionally, an ink composition for a writing instrument using a titanium oxide pigment cannot be stably dispersed in the ink composition for a long period of time because of its large specific gravity. In contrast, in the ink composition for a writing instrument of the present invention, the composite particles used are composite particles A in which concealable particles are dispersed in a polymer resin having a true density of 1.0 g / cm 3 or less, and / or Alternatively, since composite particles B formed by immobilizing concealable particles as a concealable material are contained on the surface of the composite particles A, the specific gravity is small, the concealability and whiteness are excellent, and stable for a long time. It is possible to provide an ink composition for a writing instrument that can maintain a clear white handwriting and high concealing property and a clear handwriting over a long period of time.
In addition, the water-based ink composition for ballpoint pens containing a microcapsule pigment encapsulating titanium oxide described in JP-A-2000-265105 has a slightly reduced sedimentation and separation phenomenon. Although the concealable particles may fall off during production, the particle size of the concealable particles is difficult to make uniform, and further, the particle size of the microcapsules and the number of particles in the microcapsules are difficult to make uniform. In the present invention, composite particles in which concealing particles are dispersed in a polymer resin having a true density of 1.0 g / cm 3 or less are used, so that the concealing particles are not dropped and the particle diameter of the concealing particles is uniform. In addition, since composite particles having stable quality in which a uniform particle diameter and a uniform number of particles have been achieved are used, a microcapsule simply containing titanium oxide is used. Compared to pigments, an ink composition for writing instruments that has excellent functions, that is, whiteness that does not settle for a long period of time and does not settle, high concealment, and clear writing over a long period of time can be obtained. .
