ABSTRACT:
A developer material for electrostatic images comprising a mixture of (1) a coated carrier and (2) a toner.
(1) The carrier consists of core beads coated with a coating resin comprising a butadiene homopolymer of a molecular weight of from 10,000 to 100,000, for the butadiene homopolymer is 1,2-polybutadiene and/or cyclized cis-1,4-polybutadiene or a mixture of at least one of these homopolymers and a styrene/butadiene copolymer of a molecular weight of from 10,000 to 100,000, the mixture containing from 7.5 to 100% by weight, based on the weight of the mixture, of butadiene in polymerized form.
(2) The toner comprises, based on the weight of the toner, (A) from 85 to 95% by weight of a binder resin comprising, based on the weight of the binder resin, from 50 to 100% by weight of an epoxy resin of a molecular weight of from 900 to 8,000 and from 0 to 50% by weight of a styrene/alkyl methacrylate copolymer, the alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, of a molecular weight of from 10,000 to 100,000; (B) a colorant comprising, based on the weight of the toner, from 0 to 10% by weight of fine carbon and from 0.5 to 8% by weight of a nigrosine dye, and; (C) from 0 to 8% by weight of a charge controlling agent, based on the weight of the toner, comprising a quaternary ammonium alkyl sulfonate, the alkyl group having from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, or di-(polyhydroxyethoxy ethyl) octadecyl amine, or a polyamine.
The ratio of the total surface area of the coated carrier to the total projection area of the toner particles is in the range of from 1:0.5 to 1:2.0.
