Pilot Frixion Ballpoint Pen - Gray - LFBT-3SUF-GY

The Frixion ink contains a unique thermo-sensitive compound. When you rub the tip of the special eraser (located on the pen's end) over the writing, friction generates heat, which causes the ink to become transparent and disappear.

Yes, if exposed to extreme temperatures (above 60°C or 140°F), the erased ink can reappear. Conversely, writing in extreme cold (below -10°C or 14°F) can make the ink temporarily disappear, reappearing when warmed.

This model is not designed for user-replaceable cartridges. When the ink runs out, the entire pen needs to be replaced. Please refer to Pilot's product information for available refillable Frixion models if this is a concern.

While the metal construction is durable, like most metal finishes, it can be susceptible to minor scratches over time with regular use. Handle with care to maintain its pristine appearance.

This specific model (LFBT-3SUF-GY) comes with both Black and Red ink.

The package dimensions are approximately 2.1cm x 5.0cm x 17.1cm.

Ensure the cap is properly removed. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-engage the ink flow. If using for the first time or after a long period, it might take a moment for the ink to start flowing.

This is likely due to exposure to heat. Allow the pen to cool down in a moderate temperature environment. The ink should reappear, though prolonged exposure to extreme heat may cause permanent fading. To ensure permanence, consider using a non-erasable pen.

Allow the ink a moment to dry after writing, especially in humid conditions. Avoid rubbing the ink immediately after writing. Ensure the pen tip is clean.
