Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit the color-producing agent containing an alkaline pH indicator to be colored or decolored repeatedly a number of times and reduce the time required for its decoloring substantially by specifying the components and amount of a color-producing auxiliary freely receivable in an removable from a container. CONSTITUTION:A writing instrument consists of a container, which contains freely removably a color-producing auxiliary adapted to react with the color- producing agent containing an alkaline pH indicator to change the color- producing agent from a practically invisible colorless state to a visible coloration and, to which an adsorbing agent consisting of active carbon is added. The color-producing auxiliary contains in water 4-20wt.% 2-dimethylaminoethal, 0.05-3wt.% citric acid and 0.05-3wt.% sodium chloride. The writing instrument 1 is a pen-like container 2 containing the color-producing auxiliary and the adsorbing agent. The color-producing auxiliary is removed from the container making use of a capillary phenomenon of a felt-like pen point 3 provided at the end of the container 2 and applied to the letters or the like printed on a sheet in an invisible ink to cause the coloration thereof to take place.

The coloring aid used in the writing instrument constructed in this way contains a predetermined amount of 2-dimethylaminoethanol, which is an alkaline substance, and citric acid, which is acidic, in water, so that it becomes alkaline due to the content ratio. exhibits. Therefore, the coloring aid reacts with the alkaline pH indicator contained in the coloring agent to cause the coloring agent to develop a vivid color. In addition, 2-dimethylaminoethanol has the property of losing its ion dissociation ability when its concentration increases beyond a certain value as water dries.
The applied coloring aid has a property of not exhibiting alkalinity during drying, and therefore the coloring agent can be naturally discolored within a short period of time.

That is, when the alkaline effect of 2-dimethylaminoethanol in the dry amount expires, citric acid causes the coloring aid to shift from the alkaline side to the acidic side, thereby achieving complete color erasure and shortening of the color erasing time. possible. Moreover, after decoloring, the invisible state of the coloring agent is reliably maintained for a long time. In addition, sodium chloride further reduces the irritation of the coloring aid to the human body, especially mucous membranes, etc., and together with the use of 2-dimethylaminoethanol and the effect of citric acid to shift from the alkaline side to the acidic side, safety is further improved. This makes it possible to actually use color development aids.
