LOW COST, LOW MELT EMULSION AGGREGATION HIGH GLOSS TONERS WITH LOW MELT WAXES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide low melt toners with at reduced costs.SOLUTION: A toner particle includes a core containing: a styrene-based resin; a low melting point wax; optionally an additive package; and optionally a colorant. The low melting point wax has a melting point of less than about 80°C. A method of making a toner particle includes forming a slurry by mixing together an emulsion containing a resin, a low melting point wax, optionally a colorant, optionally a surfactant, optionally a coagulant, and one or more additional optional additives; and heating the slurry to form aggregated particles in the slurry, where the aggregated particles form a core of the toner particles; and the low melting point wax has a melting point of less than about 80°C.
