The office supply industry is constantly innovating. And if you don’t believe us, take a look at Pilot’s FriXion Erasable Pens. It’s a pen that writes like a pen, but erases like a pencil. How? That’s what we wanted to know too and what we discovered would fall into Bill Nye science category.
The Magic is in the Ink
It turns out that the magic of the pen is all within the ink. The way it works is that when you rub the ink with a hard rubber eraser, that eraser creates heat. The heat then causes the ink’s compounds to activate which neutralizes the pen’s dye. Thus making the ink erase.
What the Future Holds
The concept behind this product has taken pens to a whole new level. It makes you wonder what’s in store for office supply this year. Let us know what you think by using #PilotMagicInk on social media!
