Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide an aqueous ink composition for ballpoint pen having excellent ink discharge properties at the initial writing (initial touch) even after exposure of the pen tip for a long period of time. The aqueous ink composition for ballpoint pen contains at least 0.1 to 5% by mass of a graft compound of an allyl alcohol-maleic anhydride-styrene copolymer composed of: (a) a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether unit represented by Formula (I), (b) a maleic anhydride unit, and (c) a styrene unit, the allyl alcohol-maleic anhydride-styrene copolymer having the composition ratio (a):(b):(c) of 25 to 75:25 to 75:0 to 50% by mol and having a mass average molecular weight from 1000 to 50000, and polyoxyalkylene monoalkyl alcohol; 5 to 40% by mass of resin particles; and water; wherein in Formula (I), R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbons, and m is a positive number of 5 to 50.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An aqueous ink composition for a ballpoint pen, wherein the aqueous ink composition comprises at least: 0.1 to 5% by mass of a graft compound of an allyl alcohol-maleic anhydride-styrene copolymer and polyoxyalkylene monoalkyl alcohol, composed of (a) a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether unit represented by Formula (I), (b) a maleic anhydride unit, and (c) a styrene unit, the allyl alcohol-maleic anhydride-styrene copolymer having the composition ratio (a):(b):(c) of 25 to 75:25 to 75:0 to 50% by mol and having a mass average molecular weight from 1000 to 50000; 5 to 40% by mass of resin particles; and water; wherein in Formula (I), E represents an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbons, and m is a positive number of 5 to 50, and wherein the resin particles comprise colored resin particles. 2. The aqueous ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the graft compound is at least one represented by Formula (II) wherein m=11 to 28, n=18 to 20, and it has a mass average molecular weight of 15000 to 40000. 3. The aqueous ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the graft compound is at least one represented by Formula (III) wherein m=11, n=14, and it has a mass average molecular weight of 10000. 4. The aqueous ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ink composition further includes a water-soluble organic solvent. 5. The aqueous ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the graft compound is at least one represented by Formula (II) wherein m=11 to 28, n=18 to 20, and it has a mass average molecular weight of 15000 to 40000. 6. The aqueous ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the graft compound is at least one represented by Formula (III) wherein m=11, n=14, and it has a mass average molecular weight of 10000. 7. The aqueous ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ink composition further includes a water-soluble organic solvent.
