【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、消去性インキ組成物、特に筆記具用水性消去性インキ組成物における筆跡定着性の改良に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、紙面上に文字等を筆記した場合、これらの描線を消しゴムで消すことができる消去性インキ組成物が提供されている。
【0003】
例えば特開平5−279614号は、0℃以下の造膜温度もしくは0℃以下のガラス転移温度を有する樹脂、粒子径1〜20μmの着色樹脂球状粒子及び水を含有し、インキ粘度5〜35mPa・secである消去性インキである。
【0004】
特開2000−103997号は、少なくとも着色剤を含む水性インキ組成物であって、当該着色剤の平均粒子径が2μm以上であり、かつ、粒子径1.8μm以下のものが着色剤中1.6重量%以下であるインキ組成物である。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、特開平5−279614号の消去性インキは、その描線を完全に消去することができず、消去性という点ではなお改善する余地がある。特に、高い筆圧で筆記した場合、その描線が認識できなくなるまで消去することは不可能である。この問題は、特に筆圧が高くなる傾向にあるボールペン用インキとして用いる場合にはより顕著となる。
【0006】
一方、特開2000−103997号の消去性インキは、上記の特開平5−279614号の消去性インキの問題点をすべて解決しており、筆記後の描線は高い筆圧で筆記した場合であっても容易に消すことができ、その描線は手で触る程度では容易に消えない点で定着性も良好であるが、なお一層優れた定着性を発揮する消去性インキを提供することが望まれる。
【0007】
本発明の目的は、高い筆圧で筆記した場合であっても容易に消すことができると同時に、優れた定着性を発揮することができる消去性インキ組成物を提供するところにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、鋭意研究した結果、少なくとも着色剤と粘着性樹脂を含むインキ組成物であって、上記着色剤の平均粒子径が2μm以上であり、前記粘着性樹脂の粒子径2μm以下のものが粘着性樹脂中30重量%以上含む消去性インキ組成物であれば、またその中でも特に、前記粘着性樹脂の平均粒子径が2μm以上である消去性インキ組成物であれば、上記目的を達成することができることを見出した。
【0009】
本発明のインキ組成物は、このように、粒子径の大きな着色剤と当該着色剤と比較して粒子径の小さな粘着樹脂を含んでいることから、この粒子径の小さな粘着樹脂が紙の繊維に入り込みやすくなり、前記粒子径の大きな着色材を裏側から固定することができるため、たとえ紙等に高い筆圧で筆記された描線であっても消しゴムで容易に消すことができると同時に、定着性が顕著に向上する。
【0010】
特に、少なくとも着色剤と粘着性樹脂を含むインキ組成物であって、上記着色剤の平均粒子径が2μm以上であり、前記粘着性樹脂の平均粒子径が2μm以上で、かつその粒子径2μm以下のものが当該粘着性樹脂中に30重量%以上含むインキ組成物であれば、前記着色剤を紙などの繊維中に入り込み難くしながら、粒子径の大きな前記着色剤を紙等の繊維の内外で定着し、さらに粒子径の大きな粘着性樹脂も紙等の繊維内から粒子径の小さな前記粘着性樹脂で定着されるため、筆跡をより強固に紙等に固定することが可能となる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
(着色剤)
着色剤の種類としては、公知のインキ等で用いられているものを採用することができる。例えば、酸化チタン、アニリンブラック、カーボンブラック、群青、コバルトブルー、酸化クロム、べんがら、黒鉛等の無機顔料、C.I.ピグメントブラック1、C.I.ピグメントグリーン7、C.I.ピグメントブルー15、C.I.ピグメントレッド112、C.I.ピグメントバイオレット19等の有機顔料が使用できる。
【0012】
その他にも、本発明の着色剤として、蛍光顔料、蓄光顔料等も用いることができる。また、本発明の着色剤として、フレーク状アルミナ粒子(板状アルミナ)、フレーク状アルミニウム粒子、フレーク状窒化ホウ素などの着色及び/又は非着色のフレーク状粒子を用いることもできる。この中でも特に、フレーク状アルミナ粒子及びフレーク状窒化ホウ素の少なくとも1種を用いることが好ましい。また、いわゆるカラー樹脂球も本発明の着色剤として使用できる。カラー樹脂球としては、例えば、樹脂球(アクリル系樹脂、ウレタン系樹脂、スチレン系樹脂等)に染料又は顔料を含有させたもの、樹脂球を染料によって着色したもの等が挙げられる。さらに、本発明では、コピー用トナー等も使用できる。これら着色剤は、単独で又は2種以上で用いることができる。この中でも、カラー樹脂球を用いるのが好ましい。
【0013】
着色剤としては、平均粒子径が2μm以上の着色剤であれば特に制限されないが、好ましくは2〜15μm、更に好ましくは4〜10μmである。
【0014】
また、着色剤の形状は、特に制限されず、球状、多角形状、扁平状、繊維状等のいずれであっても良い。
【0015】
着色剤の含有量は、他の成分との関係で適宜設定すれば良く、通常1〜40重量%程度、好ましくは3〜20重量%とすれば良い。40重量%を超える場合は粘度が高くなりすぎてインキの流出性が悪くなり、1重量%未満の場合は十分な着色性能が得られないことがある。
【0016】
(粘着性樹脂)
粘着性樹脂としては、粘着性樹脂の粒子径2μm以下(好ましくは0.05〜2μm)のものが粘着性樹脂中30重量%以上、好ましくは30〜50重量%含むものであれば特に制限されない。その中でも、特に平均粒子径が2μm以上、好ましくは2〜10μm(さらに好ましくは2〜8μm)の粘着性樹脂が好ましい。このように、例えば、紙等の繊維中に入りやすい粒子径の小さい粘着性樹脂と、同繊維中に入り難い粒子径の大きな粘着性樹脂と、同じく同繊維中に入り難い着色剤をインキ中に並存させることによって、図1に示すように、前記着色剤粒子1を紙などの繊維2中に入り込み難くしながら、粒子径の大きな前記着色剤粒子1を紙等の繊維2の内側では小さな粒子径の粘着性樹脂粒子3で定着し、繊維2の外側では大きな粒子径の粘着性樹脂粒子4でも定着し、さらに粒子径の大きな粘着性樹脂粒子4も紙等の繊維2内から粒子径の小さな前記粘着性樹脂粒子3で定着するため、消去性を良好に確保しながら、筆跡をより強固に紙等に固定することが可能となる。
【0017】
粘着性樹脂としては、アクリル樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、ウレタン樹脂、シリコーン樹脂等の粘着樹脂粒子が好適に用いられ、特にそれぞれの合成樹脂エマルションとして好適に用いられる。これらの粘着性樹脂は1種もしくは2種以上を混合して用いることができる。
【0018】
なお、粘着樹脂の粒子の形状は、特に制限されず、球状、多角形状、扁平状、繊維状等のいずれであっても良いが、球形状が特に好ましい。
【0019】
また、前記粘着性樹脂は最低造膜温度(MFT)が40℃以下又はガラス転移温度(Tg)が40℃以下であることが望ましい。
【0020】
粘着性樹脂の含有量は、他の成分との関係で適宜設定すれば良く、インキ組成物全量に対して、通常1〜30重量%程度、好ましくは2〜10重量%とすれば良い。40重量%を超える場合は粘度が高くなりすぎてインキの流出性が悪くなるほか、消去性が低下する。1重量%未満の場合は優れた筆跡定着性の実現が困難となる。特に、前記着色剤の平均粒子径が2μm以上、好ましくは2〜15μm、更に好ましくは4〜6μmであり、前記粘着性樹脂の平均粒子径が2μm以上、好ましくは2〜10μm、さらに好ましくは2〜8μmであり、かつ粒子径2μm以下(好ましくは0.05〜2μm)のものが粘着性樹脂中30重量%以上、好ましくは30〜50重量%含むインキ組成物の場合は、インキ組成物全量に対して1〜30重量%、好ましくは2〜10重量%とすることにより、すぐれた消去性と筆跡定着性を同時に達成できる点で最適である。
【0021】
本発明における粒度分布の制御については、例えば自然沈降、遠心分離、フィルター濾過等の公知の分級方法によって行うことができる。
【0022】
また、本発明にいう平均粒子径は重量平均粒子径を示す。これは、液相沈降法の光透過法(測定装置「CAPA−700」堀場製作所製)により重量累積分布を求め、分布50重量%の粒子径を平均粒子径として算出した。沈降は遠心分離により行い、着色剤の粒子の比重は真比重を用いて計算した。
【0023】
(無色樹脂粒子)
本発明では、前記着色剤及び前記粘着性樹脂とともに、更に無色樹脂粒子を用いることが好ましい。本発明にいう無色樹脂粒子とは、着色されていない透明又は半透明の樹脂粒子を示しているが、その粒子の形状は、特に制限されず、球状、多角形状、扁平状、繊維状等のいずれであっても良いが、前記着色剤と同様、本発明では球状、即ち無色樹脂球が好ましく、特に真球に近いほど好ましい。
【0024】
また特に、前記無色樹脂粒子としては、粒子径が0.1〜10μmのものが好ましく、中でも前記着色剤より粒子径が小さく、及び又は前記着色剤よりも比重が大きい前記無色樹脂粒子が好ましい。また最低造膜温度(MFT)が40℃以上又はガラス転移温度(Tg)が40℃以上の無色樹脂粒子が好ましい。
【0025】
前記無色樹脂粒子としては、アクリル系樹脂、ウレタン系樹脂、シリコーン系樹脂、メラミン系樹脂を例示することができ、それぞれの樹脂球が好適に用いられる。前記無色樹脂粒子は1種もしくは2種以上を混合して用いることができる。特にアクリル系樹脂球、中でも0.15〜5.00μmの範囲内の粒子径を持つアクリル系樹脂球が最適である。
【0026】
前記無色樹脂粒子は、インキ組成物全量に対して1〜30重量%、好ましくは3〜20重量%含有することが好ましい。前記無色樹脂粒子が30重量%を超える場合は、粘度が上がりすぎ、インキの流出性が低下するほか、前記着色剤による色が薄くなり、着色性が低下する場合がある。前記無色樹脂粒子が1重量%未満の場合は、当該無色樹脂粒子含有による消去性の向上が十分でない。
【0027】
(水溶性樹脂)
本発明の消去性インキ組成物は、さらに水溶性樹脂を用いることができる。特に、水性インキ組成物に適用する場合、インキの粘度調整を図るほか、前記着色剤、前記粘着性樹脂乃至前記無色樹脂粒子の沈降防止及び分散安定化を図る上で水溶性樹脂を用いることが好ましい。水溶性樹脂は、水溶性である限りは天然高分子、合成高分子、半合成高分子等のいずれであっても良いが、インキにチキソトロピー性を与える剪断減粘性付与剤が好ましく、公知のゲルインキのゲル化剤として用いられているものもそのまま使用できる。これらは、1種又は2種以上を用いることができる。
【0028】
水溶性樹脂としては、プルラン、ザンサンガム、ウェランガム、ラムザンガム、サクシノグルカン等の微生物産系多糖類及びその誘導体、グアーガム、ローカストビーンガム、アラビアガム、デンプン、カラギーナン、アルギン酸等の植物系多糖類及びその誘導体、ゼラチン、カゼイン、アルブミン等の動物系多糖類及びその誘導体、ポリアクリル酸、カルボキシビニルポリマー、スチレン−アクリル共重合体等のアクリル系合成樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリビニルピロリドン、ポリビニルエーテル、ポリN-ビニルアセトアミド及びその共重合体などのビニル系合成樹脂、メチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、カルボキシメチルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース等のセルロース系樹脂、その他、エチレン−マレイン酸共重合体、ポリエチレンオキシド等の合成樹脂乃至合成樹脂エマルション等を例示することができる。これらは1種もしくは2種以上を混合して用いることができる。
【0029】
これらの水溶性樹脂の中でも、多糖類、特にプルラン、ザンサンガム、ウェランガム、ラムザンガム、サクシノグルカン等の微生物産系多糖類及びその誘導体が好適に用いられる。これらの多糖類は、高粘度において優れたチキソトロピー性を有し、インキ組成物に適度な粘性と流出性をより有効に付与するほか、特に前記着色剤乃至無色樹脂粒子の沈降防止及び分散安定化を良好に図ることができる点で優れている。このため、これをボールペン用インキとして用いる場合には、インキ粘度が高いのでペン先からインキ洩れすることがなく、しかもインクタンク内において前記着色剤、前記粘着性樹脂乃至前記無色樹脂粒子がインキ中で分散安定化しているため、着色剤等の分離もない。その一方で筆記時のボールの回転により剪断力が加わるとインキ粘度が低下して良好な流出性を発揮する。
【0030】
水溶性樹脂の含有量は、他の成分との関係や種類に応じて適宜設定すれば良く、通常、インキ組成物全量に対して0.01〜40重量%程度、好ましくは0.05〜20重量%である。特に、多糖類、中でもプルラン、ザンサンガム、ウェランガム、ラムザンガム、サクシノグルカンから選ばれる微生物産系多糖類の場合は、0.05〜4重量%、好ましくは0.1〜0.3重量%である。4重量%を超える場合は粘度が高くなりすぎてインキの流出性が悪くなるおそれがあり、また0.1重量%未満の場合は、前記着色剤や無色樹脂粒子等の分散性不良を起こしやすく、インキが分離するおそれがある。
【0031】
(水溶性有機溶剤)
本発明のインキは水溶性有機溶剤を用いることができる。水溶性有機溶剤を用いることにより、インキの乾燥速度を所望の範囲に調整し、ペン先での乾燥防止及び凍結防止を図ることができる。具体的には、例えばエチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、トリエチレングリコール、ポリエチレングリコール、1,8−プロパンジオール、プロピレングリコール、1,3−ブチレングリコール、1,4−ブタンジオール、2,3−ブチレングリコール、ネオペンチルグリコール、ヘキシレングリコールもチオジグリコール等の二価アルコール、グリセリン、トリメチロールエタン、トリメチロールプロパン、3−メチルペンタン−1,3,5−トリオール、ジグリセリン、ソルビット等の多価アルコール、エチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、エチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル、エチレングリコールモノブチルエーテル、エチレングリコールモノブチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールモノブチルエーテル等のグリコールエーテルの他、ピロリドン、N−メチル−2−ピロリドン、ジメチルホルムアミド等が使用できる。これらは1種又は2種以上を使用することができる。これらの中でも、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、グリセリン等が好ましい。水溶性有機溶剤の含有量は、他の成分との関係や種類に応じて適宜設定すれば良く、インキ組成物全量に対して、通常1〜40重量%程度、好ましくは2〜25重量%とすれば良い。水溶性有機溶剤の含有量が40重量%を超える場合は、水溶性樹脂の溶解性に影響があり、筆跡の塗膜が乾燥し難くなる。同含有量が1重量%未満の場合は、ペン先が乾燥しやすく、インキ凍結の可能性がある。
【0032】
(その他の添加剤)
本発明では、さらに必要に応じて、分散剤、潤滑剤、防錆剤、防腐・防黴剤、粘度調整剤、pH調整剤等の公知の水性インキで用いられる各種添加剤も適宜配合することができる。分散剤は、特に着色剤の分散性を高めるものであり、例えば、ナフタレンスルホン酸ソーダホルマリン縮合物、高級アルコール硫酸エステルソーダ、アルキルベンゼンスルホン酸ソーダ等の陰イオン系界面活性剤、ポリエチレングリコールアルキルエーテル、ポリエチレングリコールアルキルフェニルエーテル、ポリエチレングリコールラウリルエーテル等の非イオン系界面活性剤等を使用できる。この中でも、陰イオン系界面活性剤が好ましく、特にナフタレンスルホン酸ソーダホルマリン縮合物がより好ましい。分散剤の添加量は、インキ組成物全量に対して、通常0.01〜1重量%程度、好ましくは0.1〜0.5重量%とすれば良い。
【0033】
潤滑剤としては、ポリオキシエチレンアルカリ金属塩、ジカルボン酸アミド、燐酸エステル等を用いることができる。防錆剤としては、ベンゾトリアゾール、トリルトリアゾール、ジシクロヘキシルアンモニウムナイトレート等を用いることができる。防腐・防黴剤としては、例えばソルビタン酸カリウム、安息香酸ナトリウム、ペンタクロロフェノールナトリウム、デヒドロ酢酸ナトリウム、1,2−ベンズイソチアゾリン3−オン、2,3,5,6−テトラクロロ−4(メチルスルフォニル)ピリジン、ベンズイミダゾール系化合物、クレゾール等を使用できる。これらは1種又は2種以上を使用することができる。これらの中でも、特に安息香酸ナトリウム等が好ましい。防腐・防黴剤の添加量は、インキ組成物全量に対して、通常0.2〜3重量%程度、好ましくは0.5〜2重量%とすれば良い。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement in handwriting fixability in an erasable ink composition, particularly an aqueous erasable ink composition for a writing instrument.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, there has been provided an erasable ink composition capable of erasing these drawn lines with an eraser when writing letters or the like on paper.
[0003]
For example, JP-A-5-279614 contains a resin having a film forming temperature of 0 ° C. or lower or a glass transition temperature of 0 ° C. or lower, colored resin spherical particles having a particle diameter of 1 to 20 μm, and water, and an ink viscosity of 5 to 35 mPa · It is an erasable ink that is sec.
[0004]
JP-A-2000-103997 is a water-based ink composition containing at least a colorant, and the colorant having an average particle diameter of 2 μm or more and a particle diameter of 1.8 μm or less is 1. The ink composition is 6% by weight or less.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the erasable ink disclosed in JP-A-5-279614 cannot completely erase the drawn lines, and there is still room for improvement in terms of erasability. In particular, when writing with a high writing pressure, it is impossible to erase until the drawn line cannot be recognized. This problem becomes more prominent particularly when used as a ballpoint pen ink that tends to have high writing pressure.
[0006]
On the other hand, the erasable ink disclosed in JP-A-2000-103997 solves all the problems of the erasable ink described in JP-A-5-279614, and the drawn line after writing is a case where writing was performed with high writing pressure. However, it is desirable to provide an erasable ink that exhibits excellent fixability even though it has good fixability in that the drawn lines do not disappear easily when touched by hand. .
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide an erasable ink composition that can be easily erased even when writing with a high writing pressure and at the same time can exhibit excellent fixing properties.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of earnest research, the inventor of the present invention is an ink composition containing at least a colorant and an adhesive resin, wherein the average particle diameter of the colorant is 2 μm or more, and the particle diameter of the adhesive resin is 2 μm or less. Is the erasable ink composition containing 30% by weight or more in the adhesive resin, and in particular, the erasable ink composition having an average particle diameter of 2 μm or more is achieved. Found that you can.
[0009]
Thus, the ink composition of the present invention contains a colorant having a large particle size and an adhesive resin having a small particle size compared to the colorant. Since it is easy to penetrate and the coloring material having a large particle diameter can be fixed from the back side, even a drawn line written on paper or the like with a high writing pressure can be easily erased with an eraser and at the same time fixed. The property is remarkably improved.
[0010]
In particular, an ink composition containing at least a colorant and an adhesive resin, wherein the colorant has an average particle size of 2 μm or more, the adhesive resin has an average particle size of 2 μm or more, and a particle size of 2 μm or less. If the ink composition contains 30% by weight or more in the adhesive resin, the colorant having a large particle diameter can be removed from the inside and outside of the fiber such as paper while making the colorant difficult to enter into the fiber such as paper. The adhesive resin having a larger particle size is also fixed by the adhesive resin having a smaller particle size from inside the fiber such as paper, so that the handwriting can be more firmly fixed to the paper.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(Coloring agent)
As the kind of the colorant, those used in known inks can be employed. For example, titanium oxide, aniline black, carbon black, ultramarine, cobalt blue, chromium oxide, red pepper, graphite and other inorganic pigments, CI pigment black 1, CI pigment green 7, CI pigment blue 15, CI pigment red 112, CI pigment violet Organic pigments such as 19 can be used.
[0012]
In addition, fluorescent pigments, phosphorescent pigments, and the like can also be used as the colorant of the present invention. Moreover, colored and / or non-colored flaky particles such as flaky alumina particles (plate-like alumina), flaky aluminum particles, and flaky boron nitride can also be used as the colorant of the present invention. Among these, it is particularly preferable to use at least one of flaky alumina particles and flaky boron nitride. Also, so-called color resin spheres can be used as the colorant of the present invention. Examples of the color resin sphere include a resin sphere (acrylic resin, urethane resin, styrene resin, or the like) containing a dye or pigment, or a resin sphere colored with a dye. Further, in the present invention, a copying toner or the like can be used. These colorants can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, it is preferable to use color resin balls.
[0013]
The colorant is not particularly limited as long as it has a mean particle diameter of 2 μm or more, but is preferably 2 to 15 μm, and more preferably 4 to 10 μm.
[0014]
In addition, the shape of the colorant is not particularly limited, and may be any of spherical, polygonal, flat, and fibrous shapes.
[0015]
The content of the colorant may be appropriately set in relation to other components, and is usually about 1 to 40% by weight, preferably 3 to 20% by weight. If it exceeds 40% by weight, the viscosity becomes too high and the outflow property of the ink deteriorates, and if it is less than 1% by weight, sufficient coloring performance may not be obtained.
[0016]
(Adhesive resin)
The adhesive resin is not particularly limited as long as the adhesive resin has a particle size of 2 μm or less (preferably 0.05 to 2 μm) and contains 30% by weight or more, preferably 30 to 50% by weight in the adhesive resin. . Among these, an adhesive resin having an average particle diameter of 2 μm or more, preferably 2 to 10 μm (more preferably 2 to 8 μm) is preferable. In this way, for example, an adhesive resin having a small particle diameter that easily enters fibers such as paper, a large adhesive resin having a particle diameter that is difficult to enter into the fiber, and a colorant that is also difficult to enter into the fiber are contained in the ink. As shown in FIG. 1, the
[0017]
As the adhesive resin, adhesive resin particles such as an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin, a urethane resin, and a silicone resin are preferably used, and particularly preferably used as each synthetic resin emulsion. These adhesive resins can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0018]
The shape of the adhesive resin particles is not particularly limited, and may be any of a spherical shape, a polygonal shape, a flat shape, a fibrous shape, and the like, but a spherical shape is particularly preferable.
[0019]
The adhesive resin preferably has a minimum film-forming temperature (MFT) of 40 ° C. or lower or a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 40 ° C. or lower.
[0020]
The content of the adhesive resin may be appropriately set in relation to other components, and is usually about 1 to 30% by weight, preferably 2 to 10% by weight with respect to the total amount of the ink composition. When it exceeds 40% by weight, the viscosity becomes too high and the outflow property of the ink becomes worse, and the erasability is lowered. When the amount is less than 1% by weight, it is difficult to realize excellent handwriting fixability. In particular, the average particle diameter of the colorant is 2 μm or more, preferably 2 to 15 μm, more preferably 4 to 6 μm, and the average particle diameter of the adhesive resin is 2 μm or more, preferably 2 to 10 μm, more preferably 2 In the case of an ink composition having a particle size of 2 to 8 μm and a particle size of 2 μm or less (preferably 0.05 to 2 μm) contained in the adhesive resin by 30 wt% or more, preferably 30 to 50 wt%, the total amount of the ink composition By adjusting the content to 1 to 30% by weight, preferably 2 to 10% by weight, it is optimal in that excellent erasability and handwriting fixability can be achieved at the same time.
[0021]
The control of the particle size distribution in the present invention can be performed by a known classification method such as natural sedimentation, centrifugal separation, and filter filtration.
[0022]
Moreover, the average particle diameter as used in the field of this invention shows a weight average particle diameter. For this, a weight cumulative distribution was determined by a light transmission method (measuring device “CAPA-700” manufactured by HORIBA, Ltd.) of a liquid phase precipitation method, and a particle size of 50% by weight was calculated as an average particle size. Sedimentation was performed by centrifugation, and the specific gravity of the colorant particles was calculated using true specific gravity.
[0023]
(Colorless resin particles)
In the present invention, it is preferable to use colorless resin particles together with the colorant and the adhesive resin. The colorless resin particles referred to in the present invention indicate transparent or translucent resin particles that are not colored, but the shape of the particles is not particularly limited, and may be spherical, polygonal, flat, fibrous, or the like. Any of these may be used, but like the colorant, in the present invention, a spherical shape, that is, a colorless resin sphere is preferable.
[0024]
Particularly, the colorless resin particles preferably have a particle diameter of 0.1 to 10 μm, and among them, the colorless resin particles having a particle diameter smaller than the colorant and / or a specific gravity larger than the colorant are preferable. Further, colorless resin particles having a minimum film-forming temperature (MFT) of 40 ° C. or higher or a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 40 ° C. or higher are preferable.
[0025]
Examples of the colorless resin particles include acrylic resins, urethane resins, silicone resins, and melamine resins, and each resin sphere is preferably used. The colorless resin particles can be used alone or in combination of two or more. In particular, acrylic resin spheres, especially acrylic resin spheres having a particle diameter in the range of 0.15 to 5.00 μm are optimal.
[0026]
The colorless resin particles are contained in an amount of 1 to 30% by weight, preferably 3 to 20% by weight, based on the total amount of the ink composition. When the colorless resin particles exceed 30% by weight, the viscosity is excessively increased and the outflow property of the ink is decreased, and the color due to the colorant is lightened, and the colorability may be decreased. When the colorless resin particles are less than 1% by weight, the erasability is not sufficiently improved by containing the colorless resin particles.
[0027]
(Water-soluble resin)
The erasable ink composition of the present invention can further use a water-soluble resin. In particular, when applied to a water-based ink composition, in addition to adjusting the viscosity of the ink, a water-soluble resin is used to prevent sedimentation and stabilize the dispersion of the colorant, the adhesive resin, or the colorless resin particles. preferable. The water-soluble resin may be any of a natural polymer, a synthetic polymer, a semi-synthetic polymer, etc. as long as it is water-soluble, but a shear thinning agent that imparts thixotropic properties to the ink is preferable, and a known gel ink Those used as gelling agents can be used as they are. These can use 1 type (s) or 2 or more types.
[0028]
Examples of water-soluble resins include microbial polysaccharides such as pullulan, xanthan gum, welan gum, rhamzan gum, succinoglucan and their derivatives, plant polysaccharides such as guar gum, locust bean gum, gum arabic, starch, carrageenan and alginic acid and the like. Derivatives, animal polysaccharides such as gelatin, casein, albumin and derivatives thereof, acrylic synthetic resins such as polyacrylic acid, carboxyvinyl polymer, styrene-acrylic copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl ether, poly N- Vinyl-based synthetic resins such as vinylacetamide and copolymers thereof, cellulose-based resins such as methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, etc., ethylene-male Examples thereof include synthetic resins and synthetic resin emulsions such as inic acid copolymers and polyethylene oxide. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0029]
Among these water-soluble resins, polysaccharides, particularly microbial polysaccharides such as pullulan, xanthan gum, welan gum, rhamzan gum, succinoglucan, and derivatives thereof are preferably used. These polysaccharides have excellent thixotropy at high viscosity, more effectively impart appropriate viscosity and flowability to the ink composition, and in particular, prevent sedimentation and dispersion stabilization of the colorant or colorless resin particles. Is excellent in that it can be favorably achieved. For this reason, when this is used as a ballpoint pen ink, the ink viscosity is high, so that no ink leaks from the pen tip, and the colorant, the adhesive resin, or the colorless resin particles are contained in the ink tank. Since the dispersion is stabilized, there is no separation of coloring agents. On the other hand, when a shearing force is applied by the rotation of the ball during writing, the ink viscosity is lowered and good outflow is exhibited.
[0030]
The content of the water-soluble resin may be appropriately set according to the relationship and type with other components, and is usually about 0.01 to 40% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 20% with respect to the total amount of the ink composition. % By weight. In particular, in the case of microbial polysaccharides selected from polysaccharides, especially pullulan, xanthan gum, welan gum, rhamzan gum, succinoglucan, it is 0.05 to 4% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 0.3% by weight. . If the amount exceeds 4% by weight, the viscosity may be too high and the outflow of the ink may be deteriorated. If the amount is less than 0.1% by weight, poor dispersibility of the colorant or colorless resin particles is likely to occur. Ink may be separated.
[0031]
(Water-soluble organic solvent)
The ink of the present invention can use a water-soluble organic solvent. By using a water-soluble organic solvent, it is possible to adjust the drying speed of the ink to a desired range, and to prevent drying and freezing at the pen tip. Specifically, for example, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, 1,8-propanediol, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 2,3-butylene glycol, neo Pentyl glycol, hexylene glycol are also dihydric alcohols such as thiodiglycol, glycerin, trimethylol ethane, trimethylol propane, 3-methylpentane-1,3,5-triol, polyhydric alcohols such as diglycerin and sorbit, ethylene Glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene Other glycol ethers such as recall monobutyl ether, pyrrolidone, N- methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethylformamide and the like can be used. These can use 1 type (s) or 2 or more types. Among these, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin and the like are preferable. What is necessary is just to set suitably content of a water-soluble organic solvent according to the relationship and kind with another component, and is about 1 to 40 weight% normally with respect to the ink composition whole quantity, Preferably it is 2 to 25 weight%. Just do it. When the content of the water-soluble organic solvent exceeds 40% by weight, the solubility of the water-soluble resin is affected, and the paint film of the handwriting is difficult to dry. When the content is less than 1% by weight, the nib is easy to dry and the ink may freeze.
[0032]
(Other additives)
In the present invention, if necessary, various additives used in known water-based inks such as dispersants, lubricants, rust preventives, antiseptic / antifungal agents, viscosity modifiers, pH adjusters, and the like may be appropriately blended. Can do. Dispersants are those that enhance the dispersibility of colorants, for example, anionic surfactants such as naphthalene sulfonate sodium formalin condensate, higher alcohol sulfate soda, alkylbenzene sulfonate soda, polyethylene glycol alkyl ether, Nonionic surfactants such as polyethylene glycol alkylphenyl ether and polyethylene glycol lauryl ether can be used. Among these, anionic surfactants are preferable, and naphthalenesulfonic acid soda formalin condensate is more preferable. The addition amount of the dispersant is usually about 0.01 to 1% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 0.5% by weight, based on the total amount of the ink composition.
[0033]
As the lubricant, polyoxyethylene alkali metal salts, dicarboxylic acid amides, phosphoric acid esters and the like can be used. As the rust preventive agent, benzotriazole, tolyltriazole, dicyclohexylammonium nitrate and the like can be used. Examples of antiseptic / antifungal agents include potassium sorbitanate, sodium benzoate, sodium pentachlorophenol, sodium dehydroacetate, 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-4 (methyl (Sulfonyl) pyridine, benzimidazole compounds, cresol and the like can be used. These can use 1 type (s) or 2 or more types. Among these, sodium benzoate is particularly preferable. The addition amount of the antiseptic / antifungal agent is usually about 0.2 to 3% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 2% by weight, based on the total amount of the ink composition.
[0034]
(water)
As the solvent of the ink composition of the present invention, the same solvent as that used in known water-based inks can be used. For example, water (or an aqueous solvent) can be used. The water content in this case may be appropriately determined depending on the desired viscosity, the type / addition amount of other components, and is usually about 60 to 95% by weight, preferably 70 to 80% by weight. good.
[0035]
(viscosity)
The viscosity of the ink composition of the present invention may be appropriately set according to the use of the final product, but is usually about 100 to 10000 mPa · s, preferably 500 to 5000 mPa · s. The viscosity can be appropriately adjusted by blending each component. The ink viscosity in the present invention is a value measured using an ELD viscometer under the condition of 3 ° (R14) cone rotation number 0.5 rpm (20 ° C.).
[0036]
(Ink production method)
The ink can be produced by a conventionally known dispersion / defoaming method, filtration, or the like, and may be prepared basically in the same manner as the known water-based ink production method, but the following method is preferred. That is, after dispersing a colorant, adhesive resin (colorless resin particles if necessary) with water and a water-soluble organic solvent, the water-soluble resin is added, pH adjustment is performed as necessary, and an erasable water-based ink is obtained. Obtained. Adjustment of the particle size distribution of the colorant, adhesive resin, etc. is carried out by adding a dispersing agent as necessary, diluting with water while stirring, and classifying the resulting dispersion by centrifugation or the like. Just do it.
[0037]
(Use)
The ink composition of the present invention can be applied to inks of substantially all kinds of writing instruments and printing. As a writing instrument, for example, any of a marker, a sign pen, a ballpoint pen and the like can be used. In particular, it is optimal for ballpoint pens due to its excellent erasability.
[0038]
The ballpoint pen of the present invention may employ a known ballpoint pen member, except that the erasable ink composition of the present invention is used as the water-based ink. For example, a well-known material and size can be applied to the ink storage tube as it is. As a material of the ink storage tube, for example, a synthetic resin pipe such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or a metal pipe can be used. Also, the same material and structure as those used in known water-based ballpoint pens can be adopted for the ballpoint pen tip.
[0039]
The ballpoint pen may be assembled according to a known ballpoint pen assembly method. For example, the erasable ink composition of the present invention is filled into a polypropylene ink containing tube having a white ballpoint pen tip (ball material: cemented carbide, ceramics, etc.) attached to one end to form a ballpoint pen refill, and then the main body has a ballpoint refill. After attaching the tail plug and attaching the tail plug, the water-based ballpoint pen of the present invention can be obtained by removing the air in the tube from the ballpoint pen refill using a centrifuge.

【Example】
After blending the colorant, adhesive resin, and if necessary colorless resin particles with water and a water-soluble organic solvent, the water-soluble resin, antiseptic / antifungal agent, and lubricant are added according to the composition shown in Table 1. The pH was adjusted to obtain an erasable water-based ink. For comparison, an ink containing no adhesive resin and colorless resin particles was prepared in the same manner. As the dispersion / defoaming method, filtration, and the like, known methods employed in ink production were employed. The colorant was put into a desper and used as a diluted dispersion, stirred for 3 hours, and classified by centrifugation using the obtained dispersion. The same applies to the adhesive resin.

(Fixability evaluation)
The obtained erasable water-based ink was applied to a white paper with a 20 μm applicator, and used as a test coating after drying. The obtained test coating film was wound around a 1 kg weight with a dried cotton broad and rubbed once, the state of the test coating film was examined, and evaluated according to the following criteria.
Evaluation criteria ○: No change △: Partially peeled ×: Mostly peeled off (erasability evaluation)
The obtained erasable water-based ink was applied to a white paper with a 20 μm applicator, and used as a test coating after drying. The obtained test coating film was reciprocated five times with a commercially available plastic eraser while applying a load of 1.5 kg, and the erasability was visually examined and evaluated according to the following criteria.
Evaluation criteria ○: Easily erasable △: Thinning ×: Almost no change [0044]
From Table 1, as compared with the ink of Comparative Example 1 which does not contain an adhesive resin, all of the inks of the Examples can be easily erased with a commercially available eraser, and at the same time, the handwriting is also applied to 1 kg of scratching force. It was confirmed that the coating film did not peel off and exhibited excellent fixing properties. On the other hand, Comparative Examples 2 and 4 in which the average particle diameter of the adhesive resin exceeds 2 μm and the particle diameter of 2 μm or less is not included in the adhesive resin are the adhesive resins whose average particle diameter exceeds 2 μm. As a result, the fixability is somewhat improved as compared with Comparative Example 1, but the erasability is lowered. Further, although the adhesive resin particles having a particle diameter of 2 μm or less are contained, the content of the comparative example 5 which is less than 30% by weight with respect to the total amount of the adhesive resin has good erasability, but the fixing property is lowered. is doing.
[0045]
In contrast, the average color particle size of the colorant is 2 μm or more, and the adhesive resin has a particle size of 2 μm or less in the pressure-sensitive resin containing 30% by weight or more, particularly 30 to 50% by weight. Has excellent erasability and fixability.
[0046]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is an erasable ink composition containing a colorant having an average particle diameter of 2 μm or more and an adhesive resin containing 30% by weight or more of the adhesive resin having an average particle diameter of 2 μm or less, as described above, Even a drawn line written with a high writing pressure can be easily erased with an eraser, and at the same time, the fixability is remarkably improved.
