1. How do FriXion pens work?

Pilot FriXion pens by offer an innovative way to correct writing with ease, thanks to their exclusive thermo-sensitive ink technology.

When you need to make a change, simply use the eraser tip on the end of the FriXion pen to rub over your writing, similar to using a pencil eraser. This action creates friction, which heats the ink to over 60°C, causing it to become invisible and disappear without damaging the paper.

2. Discover the magic of thermo-sensitive ink with FriXion pens!

Unleash the fun with FriXion’s unique thermo-sensitive ink by writing a hidden message on paper.

To “erase” it, simply use the eraser tip at the end of the FriXion pen, making the ink disappear with friction. For an added twist, send the paper to a friend and ask them to place it in the freezer for a few minutes—once it reaches temperatures below -10°C, the ink will magically reappear, revealing your secret message!

3. The science behind FriXion ink: why does it turn transparent?

FriXion ink is powered by advanced thermo-sensitive technology.

Within the ink are special microcapsules that store the color. These microcapsules react to significant temperature changes, causing the ink to turn transparent when exposed to heat and reappear in colder conditions. This innovative feature makes FriXion pens both functional and fun!

4. Using FriXion pens for sewing: a handy hack!

While FriXion pens aren’t officially designed for sewing, many crafty sewers use them as a clever hack for marking fabrics.

Perfect for creating fine, precise lines, they’re ideal for sewing patterns, pleats, embroidery designs, and more. The thermo-sensitive ink disappears completely with ironing, offering a clean finish. However, if the fabric isn’t washed, the ink may reappear if exposed to cold temperatures below -10°C. A creative and practical tool for sewing enthusiasts!
