Definitions

  • JP-1091141 relates to a toner for developing an electrostatic latent image according to which the toner includes a binding resin powder and fine powder particles having a diameter smaller than that of the powder of the binding resin.
  • the toner includes a binding resin powder and fine powder particles having a diameter smaller than that of the powder of the binding resin.
  • fluorocarbon oil and solvent There is no mention concerning the amounts of fluorocarbon oil and solvent and as to the use of a solvent in combination with the fluorocarbon oil.
  • the process further employs a solvent for the fluorocarbon oil.
  • the chosen solvent must not attack the toner particles, and must exhibit a low boiling point.
  • a preferred solvent is perfluoro alkane, a non-polar solvent that does not attack polar surfaces of toner particles and is a good solvent for fluorocarbon oils.
  • the 3M Company, Commercial Chemicals Division, 223-6S-04 3M Center, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55144-1000 markets a perfluoro alkane solvent called "Fluorinert" which was employed in the development of the invention.
  • the preferred solvent is Fluorinert (FC-72) which is a C8 perfluoro alkane.
  • the mechanism used to carry out the invention was a "Rotavapor" system such as is shown in the Fig.
  • a mixture of toner particles, fluorocarbon lubricant and a perfluoro alkane solvent was emplaced in a flask 10 that was attached to a vacuum/drive system 12.
  • Flask 10 was immersed in a heating bath 14 that enabled an elevation of the temperature of the mixture contained in flask 10. The elevated temperature is sufficiently high to enhance volatilization of the solvent, but must not exceed the melting temperature of the toner particles.
  • Flask 10 is rotated by drive system 12 while simultaneously, a vacuum is applied to flask 10. During operation, the elevated temperature of flask 10 causes volatilization of the perfluoro alkane solvent, which solvent enters the cooling system 16 via tube 18. Within cooling system 16, the solvent condenses and precipitates into receiving flask 20.
  • a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) toner e.g. a MICR toner that is a styrene-based monocomponent-type toner, obtained from the Canon Corporation, Japan was coated with perfluoro poly propoxy-methoxy oil (Fomblin Y). The coating was accomplished by adding either 15 or 300 micro liters of Fomblin Y to 200 mL of perfluoro alkane solvent (3M FC72). One hundred grams of the monocomponent toner was added to a 500 mL round bottom flask 10 (see Fig.). A mixture of the solvent and fluorocarbon lubricant was added to the flask.
  • MICR magnetic ink character recognition
  • the fluorocarbon oil was found to be stable and nonvolatile.
  • the toner operated successfully in the printer and the perfluoro alkane solvent used did not degrade the toner.
  • the print quality was equal to noncoated toner particles.

Claims (4)

  1. Ein Verfahren zum Beschichten von auf Styren basierenden polaren Monokomponenten-Tonerpartikeln mit einer dünnen Beschichtung eines Fluorkohlenstofföls, wobei die Tonerpartikel zur Verwendung in einem elektrostatischen Drucker geeignet sind, wobei das Verfahren folgende Schritte aufweist:
    a) Kombinieren der Tonerpartikel mit einem Gemisch aus einem Fluorkohlenstofföl und einem nicht-polaren Perfluor-Alkan-Lösungsmittel, wobei das Fluorkohlenstoff-01 und das Perfluor-Alkan-Lösungsmittel in dem Gemisch in einem Verhältnis von Fluorkohlenstofföl zu Lösungsmittel in einem Bereich von 15 bis 300 Mikrolitern des Öls pro 100 ml des Lösungsmittels vorliegen, jeweils pro 100 Gramm Tonerpartikel;
    b) Erwärmen der Gemischkombination aus dem Schritt (a) auf eine erhöhte Temperatur in einer evakuierten Umgebung, wobei die Temperatur geringer ist als die Schmelztemperatur der Tonerpartikel; und
    c) Bewegen des Gemisches während des Erwärmungsschritts, um eine Beschichtung der Tonerpartikel mit dem Fluorkohlenstofföl zu bewirken, während die Erwärmung eine Verflüchtigung des Perfluor-Alkan-Lösungsmittels bewirkt.
  2. Das Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1, bei dem das Fluorkohlenstofföl ein Perfluor-Poly-Propoxy-Methoxy-Öl ist.
  3. Das Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1, bei dem der Toner ein magnetischer Tintenzeichenerkennungstoner ist.
  4. Das Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1, bei dem das Perfluor-Alkan-Lösungsmittel ein C8-Perfluor-Alkan ist.
