Abstract
The objective is to provide a method for manufacturing writing instruments by injection molding that is not significantly different from that of ordinary writing instruments, can be disposed of as combustible waste, and is particularly suitable as medical writing instruments. [Solution] A method for manufacturing a writing instrument consisting of a barrel 1, a cap 2, and a lead holder 3 fitted into the barrel 1 with a lead inserted, by injection molding, wherein the cap 2 and lead holder 3 are injection molded using only thermoplastic resin, and the barrel 1 is injection molded using a mixture of inorganic filler and thermoplastic resin, with the inorganic filler content in the entire writing instrument set to be 50% by mass or more.
