Patent number: 11179962Abstract: In a pencil lead manufactured through a baking step regardless of being a black lead or a colored lead, the mechanical strength of the pencil lead is further increased by coating a surface thereof with a resin. A pencil lead includes a baked lead body whose surface is covered by a covering layer made of resin that has a scratch hardness of HB or greater. The scratch hardness of the resin as a subject resin is defined as a lowest hardness index of a tester pencil that is able to form an indentation on a surface of a horizontal flat plate coated with a 5-?m thick film of the subject resin, when the surface is scratched by the tester pencil being pressed onto the surface at an angle of 45° with a load of 7.355 N.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2017Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: MITSUBISHI PENCIL COMPANY, LIMITEDInventors: Hiroyuki Arai, Satoru Banzai
