Sailor SailorPica Kirei Anti-Bacterial Retractable Ballpoint Pen with Clip - 0.7 mm

In a country as dense as Japan, preventing the spread of bacteria transmission and influenza is always an issue. The SailorPica pen has an antibacterial casing that repels and decomposes harmful substances. It is excellent for use in the kitchen, school and workplace. The small size is convenient for taking the pen to any place where others are likely to borrow your pen.

This pen utilizes material developed by the Tokyo Advanced Technology Research Center and Fujitsu Research Lab. The pen body material is a combination of photocatalyst titanium apatite and silver apatite, materials commonly used in advanced air purification systems. This composite can adsorb and decompose microorganisms and various other substances such as bacteria, pollen, fungus, and more. The apatite adsorbs contaminants even without exposure to light. The material adsorbed by the apatite is decomposed by the photocatalyst titanium apatite on exposure to sunlight (ultra violet). Silver apatite inhibits growth of the germs and keeps this antibacterial effect without sunlight. Non-refillable.
