Water-based ink composition with color-changing by evaporation

Abstract

The present disclosure concerns a water-based color-changing ink composition with two different states of color over time, an initial color A and then a second color B which is not colorless, comprising a volatile pH-modifier base capable of evaporating at room temperature (20° C.), a pH-sensitive dye, and an optional non-pH sensitive dye. The disclosure also concerns a method for preparing such color-changing ink composition. A writing instrument comprising such color-changing ink composition, and a kit comprising such color-changing ink composition and an eradicator, as well as methods for writing on a substrate, are also part of the disclosure. Finally, the disclosure aims at a substrate coated with a color-changing ink composition according to the disclosure.
