Gel Pen

New trend in the gel pen industry: quality, innovation and personalization coexist
Gel pens are a type of writing tool that originated in Japan. It combines the advantages of fountain pens and oil-based ballpoint pens, with a comfortable writing feel, moderate ink viscosity, and an appropriate amount of lubricant added, making the viscosity of the writing medium between water and oil, so it is smoother to write than ordinary oil-based ballpoint pens, becoming an upgraded version of oil-based ballpoint pens.
The ink viscosity of the gel pen is moderate, and the viscosity of the ink has been carefully formulated. It is neither too viscous to increase resistance during writing, nor too thin to be difficult to control, thus achieving the ultimate smoothness of writing. This perfect viscosity makes the gel pen slide on the paper like flowing water, whether it is quick notes or detailed writing, it can be easily controlled, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of ink breaking or flying white that often occurs in traditional oil-based ballpoint pens, and greatly improving the writing experience. Considering the comfort of long-term writing, the tip of the gel pen is often ergonomically designed to ensure a natural feel when holding and reduce hand fatigue. The small ball at the tip of the pen is made of fine material and rolls smoothly, releasing ink evenly and stably, making every stroke clear and powerful. This design is not only suitable for a large number of writing tasks in daily study and office, but also provides an ideal tool choice for professionals such as artists and designers who need fine creation. Compared with the problem that the ink of some writing tools dries slowly and easily stains hands or paper, the ink of the neutral pen can dry quickly and form stable handwriting.
In order to meet the needs of different groups of people, the neutral pen market also provides a variety of colors and specifications. From basic black and blue to bright colors, to different thicknesses of pen tip models, consumers can choose according to their preferences and writing needs. Students can choose colorful and affordable styles for daily study; office workers may prefer to choose models with smooth writing and long-lasting ink to improve work efficiency; while artists and designers may pay more attention to the fineness of the pen tip and the expressiveness of the color. This rich product line makes the neutral pen one of the most popular writing tools on the market.
The writing principle of the neutral pen is to squeeze the ink out of the pen core by rolling the small ball on the pen tip, and then leave a mark on the paper. During this process, the flow and pressure of the ink can be automatically adjusted to ensure stable writing effects. The ingredients of gel pen oil mainly include main pigments (such as salt-based royal blue and salt-based blue lotus), solvents (such as oxidized castor oil, ricinoleic acid) and viscous substances, and some also add chemicals such as flavors. The particle size of the color base pigment must be extremely fine, close to the nano-scale raw materials (such as high-quality acetylene carbon black), and the color base dye and auxiliary materials must be completely miscible to avoid the formation of bubbles and particle agglomerates.
The gel pen market is very large worldwide. China is a major consumer of gel pens, accounting for one-fifth of the global market share. According to industry analysis, the global gel pen market has reached tens of billions of dollars and is showing a continuous growth trend. The consumer groups of gel pens are wide, mainly including students, office workers, designers, artists, etc. As people's demand for quality and personalization increases, the gel pen industry is also constantly innovating and developing. The gel pen market is not limited to traditional black and blue ink pens, but also includes gel pen products of various colors and unique designs. The launch of new products such as erasable gel pens and smart digital gel pens has further expanded the application areas of the gel pen market.
With the advancement of technology and the continuous changes in consumer demand, the gel pen industry will continue to maintain a rapid development trend. In the future, gel pens will pay more attention to personalization, quality and environmental protection to meet the needs of different consumer groups. At the same time, with the advent of the digital age, gel pens will also be combined with intelligent technology to launch more innovative products and enhance user experience.
