Definitions
- This invention relates to dry powder compositions suitable for use in electrographic recording. More particularly, it relates to heat fusible and pressure fixable one part developing powders that contain fluorinated carbon.
- Known one-part developing powder formulations used in electrographic recording may be either heat fusible or pressure fixable.
- Heat fusible developing powders are typically fixed after image formation by raising the temperature of the powder to its melting or softening point, causing the powder particles to coalesce, flow together, and adhere to the substrate.
- Pressure fixable developing powders are typically fixed after image formation by simply applying pressure to the powder particles causing them to coalesce and adhere to the substrate.
- the flow properties and developing characteristics of such powders are affected by the nature of the carbon black used. It has been found that if electrically resistive carbon black is employed, the powder has poor flow properties (i.e., it cakes and resists flow), especially in conditions of high humidity. Generally, the images produced with such powders have poor resolution, that is they exhibit fuzzy edge definition and image "fill-in” (i.e., toner deposits inside of letters such as A, B, D, 0).
- Such powders frequently form clumps in conditions of high humidity that may result in streaking on the finished copy. Still further, such powders are susceptible to clogging in the development station leading to poor development and transfer of the developing powder and consequently, poor copy quality.
- Developing powders that employ conductive carbon-black also demonstrate poor flow properties and produce images that have poor resolution. Moreover, only low concentrations (e.g., about 0.5% by weight) of such carbon black can be utilized if an electrically resistive developing powder is desired. However, low carbon black concentrations are difficult to incorporate uniformly into the powder. Moreover, electrically conductive carbon black is hydrophilic in nature and this aggravates the poor flow properties of the developing powder compositions.
- a flowable, dry powder of particles that has a static conductivity of less than 10- 3 (and preferably less than 10- 10 ) S-centimeterl in an electric field of 10,000 d.c. volts per centimeter, each of said particles comprising a thermoplastic binder having a static conductivity of at most 1 0-12S/cm and a magnetically responsive material.
- the particles contain
- the fluorinated carbon preferably comprises from 0.75 to 3 parts, and most preferably from 0.75 to 1.5 parts, by weight per 100 parts by weight of (a), and is from 15% to 30% fluorinated.
- That static conductivity referred to herein is measured according to the technique described at column 3, line 54 through column 4, line 47 of U.S. Patent 3,639,245.
- the melting point referred to above is measured according to ASTM: D-127, while the ring and ball softening point is measured according to ASTM:E28.
- the powder of the present invention preferably comprises essentially spherical particles wherein at least 95 number percent of ther particles have a maximum dimension in the range of about 4 to 30 pm.
- the developing powder of the present invention possesses improved flow properties and provides high resolution images. It does not significantly cake together even in conditions of high humidity.
- the images produced from the powder are uniform, have sharp edge definition, and exhibit virtually no image fill-in. Still further, backgrounding i.e., background coloration caused by random deposition of developing powder particles in non-image areas, is substantially reduced.
- fluorinated carbon to at least partially replace standard (i.e., non-fluorinated) carbon black.
- Fluorinated carbon is less conductive than equivalent non-fluorinated carbon black. Consequently, a higher percentage by weight of the fluorinated carbon can be employed to achieve a given conductivity, thereby providing better uniformity in the final developing powder.
- fluorinated carbon is hydrophobic so that the developing powders of the invention are less susceptible to the effects of moisture than are developing powders that employ standard carbon.
- the developing powder compositions of the invention become more negatively charged during the copying process than do equivalent developing powders that employ standard carbon. It is believed that this property accounts at least in part for the ability of the developing powder compositions of the invention to provide such high resolution images.
- the carrier does not do an effective job of this thereby giving rise to a significant level of backgrounding.
- the developed images are frequently hollow, that is, solid areas are not filled in, resulting in low fidelity development. Additionally, copy quality degrades with time when two part developing powder compositions are employed. This requires that the developing composition be purged and replaced by fresh material.
- the developing powder composition of the present invention alleviates these problems.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 there are shown portions of electrostatic copies prepared using heat fusible developing powders and conventional copying processes. These Figures contain unmagnified typed areas 10 and 20; corresponding magnified typed areas 10A and 20A; unmagnified preprinted areas 11 and 21; and corresponding magnified preprinted areas 11 A and 21 A.
- typed characters 12A and preprinted characters 13A do exhibit excellent resolution. They have well defined edges 14A and virtually no image fill-in, see 15A. Additionally, the copies exhibit virtually no back-grounding, see 16A.
- FIG. 3 A comparison of Figures 3 and 4 further demonstrates the significant improvement in copy quality achieved by the developing powders of the present invention. These Figures contain magnified areas 30A and 40A.
- characters 31 A in Figure 3 have sharper edges 32A, substantially less image fill-in as shown at 33A than do characters 41 A in Figure 4. Compare, for example edges 42A and areas 43A of Figure 4. Moreover, characters 31 A are more uniformly toned than are characters 41 A. See especially the a, c, d, and e.

- Processes for the preparation of fluorinated carbon are known. For example, see “Cermatic", supra, and other references.
