摘要 |
A pigment agglomerate and method of making the pigment agglomerate. The agglomerate is a collection of pigment particles and at least one carrier particle, the pigment particles and carrier particle held together by interparticle forces such as magnetic forces, electrostatic forces, van der Waal's forces, and other physical or chemical interparticle forces. A chemical surface treatment or other treatment may be applied to either or both of carrier particles and pigment particles in order to improve the interparticle forces therebetween. No binder, such as a polymeric binder or adhesive, is used to adhere or maintain the particles together forming the agglomerates.
