Ball point pen body (outside protection):

-Many other chemicals

Ball point pen insides (Inside pen):

-Tungsten carbide ball (The ball point)

-Plastic (the ink holder)

-Customized or selected colored ink

And that's your classic ballpoint pen, its more complicated than it looks :)

== == Pigment for colour.

Polymer in solution/dispersion to bind the pigment together and to get adhesion to substrate.

Dispersing agents (surfactants) to disperse the pigment in binder solution/dispersion and to lower surface tension of the ink.

Drying agent for faster drying.

Rheology modifiers for viscosity controll.

An ink is a liquid containing various pigments and/or dyes used for coloring a surface to produce an image, text, or design. Ink is a complex medium, comprising solvents, pigments, dyes, resins, lubricants, solubilizers, surfactants, particulate matter, fluorescers, and other materials. The components of inks serve many purposes; the ink's carrier, colorants, and other additives are used to control flow, thickness, and appearance of the ink when dry.

HOWEVER, GEL inks are particularly resistant to erasure and frequently bear recommendations from forgery experts. ANIMAL collagen is added.

Ink is made from pigment, joiner, and dissolvent. Each joiner has its own dissolvent. For example, linseed oil and turpentine or gum Arabic and water.
