Abstract
A ball-point pen ink composition comprising at least a polymeric substance selected form a group consisting of polyisobutylene and ethylene-propylene copolymer, a wax which is solid or semi-solid at room temperature, pigment particles and a low-boiling solvent having a boiling point lower than 200.degree. C. This ball-point pen ink produces writing traces which can easily be erased by an ordinary rubber eraser, especially, even after passage of several days after initial writing.
Claims2
