Abstract: Improved eradicating fluids and eradicable inks are disclosed. A color changing eradicating fluid is disclosed which includes a volatile base, a pH sensitive dye and an eradicating agent whereby the dye changes color as the volatile base evaporates thereby provided a visual indication to the user when the eradicating fluid is sufficiently dry and ready to receive a corrected marking. A non-color changing eradicating fluid having a more moderate pH is also disclosed. The combination eradicable and re-write ink is disclosed which features phosphoric acid (or phosphorus pentoxide in solution) along with an eradicable dye. A combination writing and correction instrument that combines a disclosed eradicating fluid and a combination eradicable and re-write ink is also disclosed.

Abstract: A solvent system for an ink including a nitro solvent; an ink further including a film-forming resin, a pigment or dye, and, optionally, a substrate wetting agent; and a marking instrument containing the ink, are disclosed.

Abstract: Improved combination eradicable ball-pen and re-write inks are disclosed. The combination eradicable and re-write ball-pen inks disclosed include water, glycerol, one or more acids and an eradicable dye. Glycerol is present in an amount greater than the water content, which is relatively low and the eradicable dye is provided in substantial amounts so that the glycerol and eradicable dye provide the requisite viscosity for a ball-pen ink. The combination of the high dye content and acid content also enables the eradicable ball-pen ink to be used as the re-write ink.

Abstract: A shear-thinning eradicable ink including water, a dye selected from the group consisting of diarylmethane derivatives, triarylmethane derivatives, methine dyes, and a solvent, wherein the ink has a shear-thinning index in the range of about 0.35 to about 1.0; a kit including the ink and an eradicator solution; an ink complex including a colorless or substantially colorless dye selected from the group consisting of oxidized diarylmethane derivatives, oxidized triarylmethane derivatives, and oxidized methine dyes, and at least one or a gelling agent and thickener; and methods of using the ink as part of an eradicable ink system, are disclosed herein.
