Definitions
- the present invention relates to a water-based ink composition for ballpoint pens, and more particularly to a water-based ink composition for ballpoint pens that contains a colored aqueous phase and an uncolored oily phase as an oil-in-water emulsion.
- a characteristic of water-based ballpoint pens that use water-based inks is that they have a low viscosity and a large amount of ink spillage, and a clear drawing line can be obtained with light writing. Has the disadvantage that it tends to dry out and cause the phenomenon of being unable to write.
- oil-based ballpoint pens that use oil-based inks have the advantages of high ink viscosity and low ink outflow, so there is no gritty feeling during writing and little blurring of drawn lines, but often results in heavy writing. .
- oil-based ballpoint pens that improve the writing quality by reducing the viscosity of oil-based inks have also been developed.
- low-viscosity oil-based inks increase the amount of ink that flows out during writing, so that the dryness of drawn lines deteriorates, causing ink to penetrate the back side of the paper and cause voids.
- JP-A No. 2004-115611 describes a water-in-oil (W / O) type low-viscosity oil-based ballpoint pen ink containing water in an organic solvent.
- W / O water-in-oil
- this ink has a problem in storage stability, and most of the ink composition is an organic solvent. Therefore, if the amount of written outflow is increased, a strike-through occurs.
- JP-A-2007-327003 water droplets composed of an aqueous component in which a pigment is dispersed by adding a pigment to the aqueous component in advance and mixing it with the oily component are dispersed in W /
- An O-type emulsion ink composition is described.
- a ballpoint pen ink with improved writing quality and the like has been disclosed by using this ink composition, but lacks stability such that water droplets coalesce and localize during long-term storage. Further, since the amount of the oil component in the ink composition is large, when the amount of writing outflow is increased as in the case of a water-based ballpoint pen, the showthrough and the deterioration of the drawn line dryness are remarkable.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-152768 discloses a writing that can be erased with an eraser, in which a colored composition obtained by dispersing a pigment in a polymer solution comprising a polymer and a solvent for dissolving the polymer is emulsified and dispersed in water. Ink for use is described. However, when this ink is used for a ballpoint pen, the writing property is poor, the dispersed particles easily coalesce, settle, and there is a problem in storage stability.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-323618 discloses that an ink composition composed of a water-soluble ink containing a water-soluble dye and an oil-soluble ink containing an oil-soluble dye is shaken during writing to form an unstable emulsion.
- a multicolor ink for a writing instrument is described which is formed and whose writing lines are short and vary irregularly and continuously. This ink is described as being separated into two layers in a stationary state, and is not suitable as a normal ballpoint pen ink.
- the applicant's Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-145150 discloses a water-based ink composition for ballpoint pens that has the advantages of water-based ballpoint pens and oil-based ballpoint pens, and whose ink properties are emulsions of oil-in-water droplets. Since the ink is capable of improving the color density and toning variations with a high degree of freedom and at the same time obtaining water resistance, it is essential that the oily phase contains a coloring material such as a dye. When it is high, there is a problem that the drawn line dryness deteriorates, and when the emulsion concentration is low, there is a problem that the drawn line concentration is insufficient.

c)工程aで得られた油性溶液を攪拌しながら、工程bで得られた水性溶液を徐々に添加して油中水滴型エマルション得る工程、
d)攪拌しながら、さらに工程bで得られた水性溶液を添加して相転移を経て水中油滴型エマルションを得る工程。
e)顔料、分散剤、溶剤及びpH調整剤を攪拌機にて3時間攪拌する工程、
f)サンドミルにて5時間分散する工程、
g)上記顔料分散液の粗大粒子を遠心分離機で除去する工程、
h)上記顔料分散液を希釈し、その他の成分を添加する工程。
まず表1に記載の油性溶液成分を攪拌しながら50℃~60℃の温度に加温して、これらの成分を完全に溶解させた。表中の油性溶液粘度はこの溶液の値である。一方、これとは別個に表2に記載の乳化剤を精製水中に攪拌しながら溶解させ乳化剤水溶液を作成した。なお、油性相への配向が強い乳化剤を配合する場合は、当該油性溶液に添加し常温で攪拌することもできる。
作成した顔料分散体に対し、最終的な成分量が表2となるように上述のh)工程の希釈及びその他の成分の添加を行った。なお、その際には前記乳化剤水溶液で用いた各成分の量は減じて調整した。
(a)耐沈降性試験
ペン先部が遠心方向に向くようにしたリフィールを、回転半径20cm、回転数2000rpm(約900G)の条件で5時間遠心を行い、その後に筆記用紙に直径約2cmの円を筆記して、遠心処理前の描線濃度と比較した。

(b)に記載の筆感軽さ試験時の筆記のガリツキ感を以下のように判定した。
◎:全く気にならない。

筆記用紙に筆記した描線を水で濡らし、1分後の状態を観察した。
◎:全く描線が変化しない。
○:やや描線にじみが観察されるが問題ない。
△:描線にじみが目立つが判別は可能。
×:判別が困難。
筆記用紙に筆記した描線を10秒後にビニール片で擦過し、描線の伸び度合いと汚れを確認した。
◎:全く伸びず、描線も汚れない。
○:ほとんど伸びず、描線も汚れない。
△:やや描線が伸びる。
×:描線が汚れている。
書道用半紙を3枚重ね筆記し、筆記に用いた紙を1枚目と数え、半紙3枚目までのインク写り具合を以下のように判定した。
◎:半紙1枚目の裏側にインクが写っていない。
○:半紙1枚目の裏側にインクが写っている。半紙2枚目にはインクが写っていない。
△:半紙2枚目の表側にインクが移っているが、裏側はインクが写っていない。
◆:半紙2枚目の裏側にインクが写っている。半紙3枚目にはインクが写っていない。
×:半紙三枚目にインクが写っている。
ペン体を50℃の条件下で3ヶ月放置し、筆記性を確認した。
◎:初期と変化無し。
○:初期と比較して僅かな変化はあるが、筆記に問題なし。
△:描線の劣化は観察されるが、筆記可能。
◆:描線の劣化が著しい。
×:筆記できない。
