Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides an aqueous marking pen ink composition for writing board which gives writing that can be easily erased by wiping with a dry erasing material without staining on the surface of the writing board even if the writing is half-dried, not to mention after dried on the surface of the writing board. The novel aqueous marking pen ink composition for writing board comprising as essential components a colorant, a resin, a separating agent and water, wherein the colorant comprises microcapsules containing a coloring substance selected from the group consisting of oil-soluble dye, disperse dye and pigment and oil medium which dissolves or disperses a coloring substance. Writing drawn on the surface of a writing board with the aqueous marking pen ink for writing board according to the present invention can be easily and completely erased by wiping with a dry erasing material regardless of whether it is half-dried shortly after drawn on the writing board or after thoroughly dried.
