An aqueous ink composition for a writing instrument may form a uniform coating film with low glossiness and is excellent in scratch resistance and water-resistant adherence even when writing is performed on a non-absorbing surface, and a writing instrument. Such an aqueous ink composition may include at least a coloring material, a neutralized product of an isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, a polyol having two or more OH groups, a water-soluble resin and/or a resin emulsion, and water.

This invention is related to compositions that can be used to protect surfaces, such as those found on bowling lanes (both synthetic and wood). The compositions are low viscosity and contain little to no VOCs (volatile organic compounds). In one embodiment, the flowable compositions are 100% solids, while in another embodiment, they are solvent-borne compositions that only include VOC-exempt solvents. Regardless of the embodiment, the compositions can be cured via UV LED light to yield scratch, abrasion, and impact resistant coatings.
