Pentel Hi-Polymer Lead Refills, 0.5 mm, HB, Break-Resistant, Smooth Dark Lines, Clean Erasing, Fits Most 0.5 mm Pencils, Ideal for School & Crafts, 12 Leads Per Tube – Pack of 12 Tube

The pack contains 0.5 mm HB Hi-Polymer leads with low smudge and clean erasing capabilities. Each tube holds 12 leads, and the pack includes 12 tubes (totaling 144 leads). The cores are break-resistant to withstand regular use in 0.5 mm pencils.

There are 12 leads per tube and 12 tubes in the pack, providing a total of 144 leads.

They fit most 0.5 mm pencils. If your pencil uses a standard 0.5 mm lead, these Hi-Polymer HB leads should work well.

Open the pencil by removing the eraser cap or barrel end as needed, insert a fresh 0.5 mm lead into the lead sleeve, push gently until it seats, and umount any old lead fragments. If your pencil uses a feed system, insert the new lead into the loading chamber and advance until it feeds smoothly.

The Hi-Polymer core is engineered for durability, delivering a combination of flexibility and strength that resists breakage under typical pressure in 0.5 mm pencils.

The HB grade provides a crisp, readable line with smooth shading. It erases cleanly without smudging, helping keep notes neat and professional.

They’re great for school coursework, drafting, note-taking, forms, and crafts—any time you want a consistent, clean line that’s easy to erase.

Yes. Pentel Hi-Polymer leads are designed for general everyday use and are non-toxic for typical classroom environments.

Store the tubes upright in a cool, dry place with the caps closed to protect the tips. Keep them organized to prevent the leads from bending or snapping during handling.
