Disclosed is the use of a novel diester as an additive to a toner, the ester being of the formula: <IMAGE> wherein R is of the formula <IMAGE> being independently selected from the group consisting of phenyl, substituted phenyl, aliphatic and substituted aliphatic. In one embodiment a toner containing this additive is used in a flash fusing system whereby it acts as a stabilizer thus eliminating decomposition of the toner. The additive can also be used to lower the toner melt viscosity and the fusing temperature of the toner.
