ABSTRACT:
A color-changeable marking composition well-suited for drawing and coloring activities. In a preferred embodiment, the composition comprises (a) an emulsion, the emulsion having an aqueous continuous phase characterized by a basic pH and a noncarboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber latex discontinuous phase; (b) a pigment insoluble in the aqueous continuous phase of the emulsion; and (c) an acid dye soluble in the aqueous continuous phase of the emulsion, the acid dye having a different color than the water-insoluble pigment. Upon contact with the surface of a conventional porous marking substrate, the emulsion breaks, causing the aqueous continuous phase to be absorbed by the substrate and the rubber latex discontinuous phase to form a cohesive film on the surface of the substrate. The acid dye, because of its solubility in the aqueous continuous phase, is also absorbed by the substrate and cannot readily be removed therefrom. The pigment, because of its insolubility in the aqueous continuous phase, becomes associated with the cohesive film and can easily be removed from the substrate by stripping the cohesive film from the substrate using an ordinary pencil eraser. Accordingly, if the cohesive film is not removed from the substrate, the mark reflects the color contribution of the pigment (or, in some cases, both the pigment and the dye) whereas, if the cohesive film is removed from the substrate, the mark reflects the color contribution of the dye only.
