Ballpoint pen PBS Connect Schneider Schreibgeräte Slider Xite – retractable everyday writing instrument

The PBS Connect Schneider Schreibgeräte Slider Xite is a retractable everyday ballpoint pen designed for reliable, comfortable writing. The pen body is made from 90% biobased plastics and the model uses Viscoglide® technology to provide an extraordinarily smooth, gliding writing experience. The Slider Xite is equipped with a replaceable metal refill with a wear-resistant stainless steel tip and produces blue ink that is quick-drying, smear-proof when highlighted and waterproof according to ISO 12757-2. The pen is produced CO2 neutral and features a slightly concave barrel shape for relaxed, low-fatigue handling.

Advantages

The pen’s Viscoglide® technology ensures consistent, low-friction ink flow for smooth lines and even coverage. A replaceable metal refill with a robust stainless steel tip extends service life and allows full use of the large ink supply without smudging. The slightly concave barrel supports ergonomic handling during extended writing sessions, while the sturdy metal clip and retractable design add convenience for everyday carry. The product’s biobased body material and CO2-neutral production reduce environmental impact compared with conventional plastic pens.

Replace the refill with an approved Slider metal refill to maintain performance and tip durability. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures to preserve ink quality and the biobased barrel material.
