【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、筆記具用インキ逆流防止体組成物に関する。さらに詳細には、インキ収容筒内に収容したインキの後端面にインキの消費に従い前進する高粘度流体である筆記具用インキ逆流防止体組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より筆記具用のインキ逆流防止体組成物として液状ポリブテン、或いは鉱物油等の難揮発性有機溶剤からなるベースオイルを、微粒子シリカ等の増粘剤でゲル化したものが知られている。しかしながら、これらのインキ逆流防止体はベースオイルとインキ中に添加されている界面活性剤、染料或いはその他の添加剤との親和性が高いため、インキ逆流防止体の一部がインキ中へ、或いはインキ中の一部の成分がインキ逆流防止体中へ移行し、インキ逆流防止体或いはインキの物性が変動し、インキ逆流防止性能の低下やインキの変色等の問題点があった。
【0003】
この不具合を解消する目的で、インキ中の成分との親和性が低いシリコーンオイルをベースオイルとしたインキ逆流防止体が提案されている。例えば特開平11−165486号公報及び特開平11−170757号公報にはメチルシリコーンオイル、ジメチルシリコーンオイル及びその誘導体から選ばれるベースオイルに増粘剤として微粒子シリカ、金属石鹸、トリベンジリデンソルビトール等を添加したインキ逆流防止体が開示されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記したシリコーンオイルを微粒子シリカ等でゲル化したインキ逆流防止体は剪断力が付加された際に粘度の低下が著しく、剪断力を取り去った後に元の粘度に回復するまでに長時間を要する。また、該インキ逆流防止体を長期間保管すると徐々にゲル強度が低下し、十分なインキ逆流防止効果が得られなくなり、チップ上向き(正立)状態での放置或いは衝撃によるインキ漏出等の不具合を発生しがちであった。
またインキの逆流を防止するために増粘剤を増量すると、ゲル強度は増すが硬くなりすぎるために流動性、即ちインキ追従性が低下し、インキ出渋りや筆跡カスレが生じる。
【0005】
本発明は、前記従来の問題点を解決するものであって、インキ中の成分による劣化やインキの変質が少なく、追従性及び逆流防止性能に優れたインキ逆流防止体を提供しようとするものである。
尚、本発明において「前」とはペン先側を、「後」とはインキ逆流防止体側を指し、また「正立」とはペン先を上向き、「倒立」とはペン先を下向き状態にすることを示す。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者はインキ成分との親和性が低く、インキとの相互作用の少ないシリコーンオイルをベースオイルとしたインキ逆流防止体において、化学的、物理的に安定なゲルを形成し、長期保管後においてもゲル強度の変化が少ない増粘剤を種々検討した結果、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0007】
即ち、本発明は筆記具のインキ収容筒内に直接収容したインキの後端面に配設され、インキの消費に従い前進するインキ逆流防止体であって、前記インキ逆流防止体がシリコーンオイルに下記一般式(1)或いは一般式(2)で示される脂肪酸アマイドを添加したものであることを要件とする。

更には、前記脂肪酸アマイドの一種又は二種以上をインキ逆流防止体組成物全量に対して0.2〜3.0重量%添加したことを要件とする。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明においてベースオイルとして用いられるシリコーンオイルには、例えばメチルシリコーンオイル、ジメチルシリコーンオイル、メチルフェニルシリコーンオイル、アルキル変性シリコーンオイル、アミノ変性シリコーンオイル、カルボキシル変性シリコーンオイル等を挙げることができ、これらのシリコーンオイルから選ばれる一種或いは二種以上を混合して用いることができる。
【0009】
また増粘剤として添加される脂肪酸アマイドは前記一般式(1)或いは一般式(2)で表わされる化合物であり、一般式(1)で示される化合物で式中のR2 が水素である化合物の具体例としてはラウリン酸アマイド、ステアリン酸アマイド、オレイン酸アマイド、エルカ酸アマイド、リシノール酸アマイド、12−ヒドロキシステアリン酸アマイド等を挙げることができる。また、式中のR2 がアルキル基或いはアルケニル基である化合物の具体例としてはN−イソブチルラウリン酸アマイド、N−イソブチルステアリン酸アマイド、N−オレイルステアリン酸アマイド、N−オレイルオレイン酸アマイド、N−ステアリルステアリン酸アマイド、N−ステアリルオレイン酸アマイド、N−オレイルパルミチン酸アマイド、N−ステアリルエルカ酸アマイド等を挙げることができる。
【0010】
更に、一般式(1)で示される化合物で式中のR2 がシクロアルキル置換アルキル基である化合物の具体例としてはN−シクロヘキシルメチルラウリン酸アマイド、N−シクロヘキシルメチルカプロン酸アマイド等が例示できる。
【0011】
また、前記一般式(2)で表わされる化合物の具体例としてはN,N´−エチレンビスラウリン酸アマイド、N,N´−メチレンビスステアリン酸アマイド、N,N´−エチレンビスステアリン酸アマイド、N,N´−エチレンビスオレイン酸アマイド、N,N´−エチレンビスベヘン酸アマイド、N,N´−エチレンビス−12−ヒドロキシステアリン酸アマイド、N,N´−ブチレンビスステアリン酸アマイド、N,N´−ヘキサメチレンビスステアリン酸アマイド、N,N´−ヘキサメチレンビスオレイン酸アマイド等を挙げることができる。
【0012】
これらの脂肪酸アマイドの一種又は二種以上をインキ逆流防止体全量に対してて0.2〜3.0重量%添加することにより好適なインキ逆流防止体組成物を得ることができる。添加量が0.2重量%未満では得られるインキ逆流防止体の粘度が十分ではなく、正立放置によりインキ逆流防止体がインキ収容管の後端方向に移動する、或いは正立状態で筆記具を落下させた時にインキ逆流防止体やインキが流出或いは飛散してしまう等の不具合を生じることもある。
【0013】
また、前記脂肪酸アマイドの添加量が3重量%を超えると、得られるインキ逆流防止体が硬くなりすぎるために、筆記時にインキの消費と共にペン体方向への追従が阻害され、インキの供給が不足し、筆跡濃度低下や筆記線途切れ等が発生することもある。
前記脂肪酸アマイドは0.2〜3.0重量%の添加量が好ましいが、0.5〜2.0重量%の添加がより好ましい。
【0014】
本発明のインキ逆流防止体組成物の主成分は前述したようにシリコーンオイルと脂肪酸アマイドであるが、更にゲル強度を増すために従来からインキ逆流防止体組成物の増粘剤として汎用されている微粒子シリカ(親水性或いは疎水性)、ベンジリデンソルビトール類、アミノ酸誘導体等を補助増粘剤として少量添加することも有効である。
【0015】
本発明のインキ逆流防止体組成物に用いられる脂肪酸アマイドは、ベースオイルとして用いられるシリコーンオイルとの相溶性が低いために、単純な攪拌のみでは良好な分散体を得ることは困難である。よって、予め脂肪酸アマイドをキシレン、ミネラルターペン、エチルアルコール等の低沸点溶剤に10〜20重量%の濃度で加温溶解させたペーストを作成し、シリコーンオイル中に所定量の前記脂肪酸アマイドペーストを投入し、ディスパー等で予備攪拌したものを三本ロールで分散処理する。尚、ペースト作成に使用した低沸点溶剤は、三本ロール処理が開放状態で行なわれるため、分散処理終了までに揮散する。
【0016】
上記工程の製造方法により、脂肪酸アマイドはベースオイル中に均一な微粒子状態に分散され、微細な三次元網目構造を形成する。そのため、得られたインキ逆流防止体は高揺変性を有し、また剪断力が付加されたときも急激な粘度低下を示さず、更には、長期間保管された場合も油分の分離等が発生せず経時的に安定なゲル状態が保持される。
【0017】
【実施例】
以下、本発明のインキ逆流防止体組成物を実施例と比較例によって詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれらの実施例に限定されるものではない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an ink backflow preventive composition for a writing instrument. More specifically, the present invention relates to an ink backflow preventive composition for a writing instrument, which is a high-viscosity fluid that moves forward in accordance with ink consumption to the rear end surface of ink stored in an ink storage cylinder.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an ink backflow preventive composition for a writing instrument is known in which a base oil composed of liquid polybutene or a hardly volatile organic solvent such as mineral oil is gelled with a thickener such as fine particle silica. However, since these ink backflow preventers have a high affinity between the base oil and the surfactant, dye or other additive added in the ink, a part of the ink backflow preventer enters the ink or the ink. Some of the components migrated into the ink backflow prevention body, and the physical properties of the ink backflow prevention body or ink fluctuated, causing problems such as a decrease in ink backflow prevention performance and discoloration of the ink.
[0003]
In order to solve this problem, there has been proposed an ink backflow preventer using a silicone oil having a low affinity with components in the ink as a base oil. For example, in JP-A-11-165486 and JP-A-11-170757, fine silica, metal soap, tribenzylidene sorbitol and the like are added as a thickener to a base oil selected from methyl silicone oil, dimethyl silicone oil and derivatives thereof. An ink backflow preventer is disclosed.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The ink backflow preventive body obtained by gelling the above silicone oil with fine particle silica or the like has a significant decrease in viscosity when a shearing force is applied, and it takes a long time to recover the original viscosity after removing the shearing force. In addition, if the ink backflow preventive body is stored for a long period of time, the gel strength gradually decreases, and a sufficient ink backflow prevention effect cannot be obtained, and problems such as ink leakage due to leaving the chip in an upward (upright) state or impact. Tended to occur.
Further, when the amount of the thickening agent is increased in order to prevent the backflow of the ink, the gel strength is increased but the gel becomes too hard, so that the fluidity, that is, the ink follow-up property is lowered, resulting in ink bleeding and handwriting blurring.
[0005]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is intended to provide an ink backflow prevention body that is less deteriorated due to components in the ink and less deteriorated in ink, and has excellent followability and backflow prevention performance. is there.
In the present invention, “front” refers to the pen tip side, “rear” refers to the ink backflow preventer side, “upright” refers to the pen tip upward, and “inverted” refers to the pen tip downward. Indicates to do.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventor forms a chemically and physically stable gel in an ink backflow prevention body based on silicone oil that has low affinity with ink components and has little interaction with ink, and even after long-term storage. As a result of various investigations on thickeners with little change in gel strength, the present invention has been completed.
[0007]
That is, the present invention is an ink backflow preventive body that is disposed on the rear end surface of the ink stored directly in the ink storage cylinder of the writing instrument and moves forward according to the consumption of the ink. It is a requirement that the fatty acid amide represented by (1) or general formula (2) is added.

(In the formula, R 1 is a C 8 -C 22 saturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid, or hydroxy fatty acid, and R 2 is hydrogen, a C 8 -C 22 alkyl group, or an alkenyl group.)

Wherein R 3 is a C 8 to C 22 saturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid or hydroxy fatty acid, and R 2 is hydrogen or a C 8 to C 22 alkyl group, alkenyl group or cycloalkyl-substituted alkyl group. .)
Furthermore, it is a requirement that one or more of the fatty acid amides are added in an amount of 0.2 to 3.0% by weight based on the total amount of the ink backflow preventer composition.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Examples of the silicone oil used as the base oil in the present invention include methyl silicone oil, dimethyl silicone oil, methylphenyl silicone oil, alkyl-modified silicone oil, amino-modified silicone oil, carboxyl-modified silicone oil, and the like. One or a mixture of two or more selected from oils can be used.
[0009]
The fatty acid amide added as a thickener is a compound represented by the general formula (1) or the general formula (2), and is a compound represented by the general formula (1), in which R 2 is hydrogen. Specific examples thereof include lauric acid amide, stearic acid amide, oleic acid amide, erucic acid amide, ricinoleic acid amide, 12-hydroxystearic acid amide and the like. Specific examples of the compound in which R 2 in the formula is an alkyl group or an alkenyl group include N-isobutyl lauric acid amide, N-isobutyl stearic acid amide, N-oleyl stearic acid amide, N-oleyl oleic acid amide, N -Stearyl stearic acid amide, N-stearyl oleic acid amide, N-oleyl palmitic acid amide, N-stearyl erucic acid amide etc. can be mentioned.
[0010]
Furthermore, specific examples of the compound represented by the general formula (1) in which R 2 is a cycloalkyl-substituted alkyl group include N-cyclohexylmethyl lauric acid amide, N-cyclohexylmethyl caproic acid amide and the like. .
[0011]
Specific examples of the compound represented by the general formula (2) include N, N′-ethylenebislauric acid amide, N, N′-methylenebisstearic acid amide, N, N′-ethylenebisstearic acid amide, N, N′-ethylenebisoleic acid amide, N, N′-ethylenebisbehenic acid amide, N, N′-ethylenebis-12-hydroxystearic acid amide, N, N′-butylene bisstearic acid amide, N, N'-hexamethylene bis stearic acid amide, N, N'-hexamethylene bis oleic acid amide, etc. can be mentioned.
[0012]
A suitable ink backflow preventive composition can be obtained by adding 0.2 to 3.0% by weight of one or more of these fatty acid amides with respect to the total amount of the ink backflow preventive. If the amount added is less than 0.2% by weight, the viscosity of the ink backflow preventive body obtained is not sufficient, and the ink backflow preventive body moves toward the rear end of the ink storage tube when left standing upright, or the writing instrument is placed in the upright state. In some cases, the ink backflow prevention body or ink may flow out or scatter when dropped.
[0013]
Also, if the amount of fatty acid amide added exceeds 3% by weight, the resulting ink backflow preventive body becomes too hard, which obstructs follow-up in the direction of the pen body as ink is consumed during writing, and ink supply is insufficient. In some cases, however, handwriting density drop or writing line interruption may occur.
The fatty acid amide is preferably added in an amount of 0.2 to 3.0% by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 2.0% by weight.
[0014]
As described above, the main components of the ink backflow preventive composition of the present invention are silicone oil and fatty acid amide. However, in order to further increase the gel strength, it has been widely used as a thickener for the ink backflow preventive composition. It is also effective to add a small amount of fine particle silica (hydrophilic or hydrophobic), benzylidene sorbitols, amino acid derivatives and the like as auxiliary thickeners.
[0015]
Since the fatty acid amide used in the ink backflow preventive composition of the present invention has low compatibility with the silicone oil used as the base oil, it is difficult to obtain a good dispersion only by simple stirring. Therefore, a paste prepared by heating and dissolving fatty acid amide in a low-boiling solvent such as xylene, mineral terpene, and ethyl alcohol at a concentration of 10 to 20% by weight is prepared in advance, and a predetermined amount of the fatty acid amide paste is put into silicone oil. Then, the material preliminarily stirred with a disper or the like is dispersed with a three roll. Note that the low boiling point solvent used for preparing the paste is volatilized by the end of the dispersion process because the three-roll process is performed in an open state.
[0016]
The fatty acid amide is dispersed in the base oil in a uniform fine particle state by the production method of the above process, and forms a fine three-dimensional network structure. Therefore, the obtained ink backflow preventive body has high thixotropic properties, does not show a drastic decrease in viscosity when shearing force is applied, and further, oil separation occurs even when stored for a long time. Without maintaining a stable gel state over time.
[0017]
