The Pentel Ain Stein Leads are a refill lead from the high-performance family, stronger and darker than many regular leads. It is porous, ceramic cell structure provides regularity of shape and strength. The tube has an easy-open rotating lid with eye-catching vivid colours. The Ain stein leads are highly strong and have been made by improving the performance of Pentel's existing lead in one of its most important features: Strength. A ceramic frame holds the lead firmly in place from the inside. In pencil leads density and strength are usually inversely related. The stronger it gets the lower the density and the more the blackness, the weaker it gets. Pentel was established in 1946 as The Japan Stationery Company and the organisation started by selling school supplies such as water colours, crayons and oil pastels.
