An alcohol-based dry-erasable ink for a writing instrument including, as separation agent, a mixture of glycerol, glycol and pentaerythritol ester.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An alcohol-based dry-erasable ink for a writing instrument comprising, as separation agent, a mixture of glycerol, glycol and a pentaerythritol ester, wherein the pentaerythritol ester is pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate. 2. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 1 , wherein the pentaerythritol ester content is between 0.1 and 25% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 3. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 1 , wherein the glycol content is between 0.1% and 5% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 4. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 1 , wherein the glycerol content is between 0.1% and 10% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 5. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is an alcohol including R 4 —OH in which R 4 represents a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group selected from the group consisting of ethanol, propanol and mixtures thereof. 6. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 1 , wherein the alcohol content is between 40% and 90% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 7. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 1 , further including a pigment, a resin and additives. 8. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 7 , wherein the additive is selected from the group consisting of surfactants, manufacturing additives, denaturing agents, marker tip drying retarders and mixtures thereof. 9. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 7 , wherein the pigment content is between 0.1% and 10% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 10. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 7 , wherein the resin content is between 0.1% and 10% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 11. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 7 , wherein the additive content is between 0.1% and 10% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 12. A writing instrument including a fibrous tip and comprising a dry-erasable ink according to claim 1 . 13. An alcohol-based dry-erasable ink for a writing instrument comprising a separation agent, the separation agent consisting essentially of glycerol, glycol, and a pentaerythritol ester, wherein the pentaerythritol ester includes pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate, pentaerythrityl tetracaprylate, pentaerythrityl tetracaprate, or mixtures thereof. 14. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 13 , wherein the glycol is triethylene glycol. 15. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 13 , wherein the pentaerythritol ester content is between 0.1 and 25% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 16. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 13 , wherein the glycol content is between 0.1% and 5% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 17. An alcohol-based dry-erasable ink for a writing instrument comprising a separation agent, the separation agent comprising a mixture of glycerol, glycol, and a pentaerythritol ester, wherein the pentaerythritol ester includes pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate, pentaerythrityl tetracaprylate, pentaerythrityl tetracaprate, or mixtures thereof. 18. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 17 , wherein the glycerol content is between 0.1% and 10% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 19. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 17 , wherein the glycol content is between 0.1% and 5% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink. 20. The dry-erasable ink according to claim 17 , wherein the pentaerythritol ester content is between 0.1 and 25% by weight in relation to a total weight of the ink.
