Definitions
- This invention relates to electrostatic liquid developers comprising resin particles, a charge director compound and a nonpolar liquid having a narrow boiling point range.
- a latent electrostatic image can be developed with toner particles dispersed in an insulating nonpolar liquid.
- Such dispersed materials are known as liquid toners or liquid developers.
- Useful liquid developers comprise a thermoplastic resin and nonpolar liquid. Generally a suitable colorant is present such as a dye or pigment.
- the colored toner particles are dispersed in the nonpolar liquid which generally has a high-volume resistivity in excess of 109 ohm centimeters, a low dielectric constant below 3.0, and a high vapor pressure.
- the toner particles are less than 30 ⁇ m average size as determined using the Malvern Particle Sizer described below.
- the liquid developers of the prior art comprise resin particles dispersed in mixed hydrocarbon liquids, which have wide molecular weight ranges and hence wide boiling point ranges. These developers have the disadvantage of having high vapor emissions and high viscosities resulting in environmental contamination and low toner particle mobility which retards image quality.
- an electrostatic liquid developer consisting essentially of:
- composition of the electrostatic liquid developer does not exclude unspecified components which do not prevent the advantages of the developer from being realized.
- additional components such as a colorant, fine particle size oxides, adjuvant, e.g., polyhydroxy compound, polybutylene succinimide, aromatic hydrocarbon, etc.
- Conductivity is the conductivity of the developer measured in pmhos/cm at 5 hertz and 5 volts.
- the nonpolar liquid (A) is a hydrocarbon having a straight carbon chain of from 9 to 30, preferably 12 to 18, carbon atoms and isomers thereof.
- Some useful nonpolar liquids are n-nonane, n-decane, n-undecane, n-dodecane, n-tridecane, n-tetradecane, n-pentadecane, n-hexadecane, n-heptadecane, n-octadecane, and branched hydrocarbons such as 2-methyl-nonane, 2-methyl-undecane, 3-methyl-undecane, 4-methyl-undecane, 5-methyl-undecane, 2,3-dimethyl-dodecane, 2,4-dimethyl-dodecane, 2,5-dimethyl-dodecane, 3,5-dimethyl-dodecane, 2,2-dimethyldodecane, 3,3-dimethyl

- Nonpolar liquids with suitable narrow boiling ranges can be obtained by fractional distillation of mixed hydrocarbon liquids with wide molecular ranges and, hence wide boiling ranges.
- Examples of commercial hydrocarbon mixtures that can be so purified are Isopars® and Norpars® (Exxon), and Sol B series (Shell). Distillation would be conducted by methods known to those skilled in the art.
- the nonpolar liquids are substantially odorless, possessing only a very mild paraffinic odor and have excellent odor stability.

- a preferred temperature range is 80 to 120°C. Other temperatures outside this range may be suitable, however, depending on the particular ingredients used.
- the presence of the irregularly moving particulate media in the vessel is preferred to prepare the dispersion of toner particles.
- Other stirring means can be used as well, however, to prepare dispersed toner particles of proper size, configuration and morphology.
- Useful particulate media are particulate materials, e.g., spherical, cylindrical, etc., selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, carbon steel, alumina, ceramic, zirconia, silica, and sillimanite. Carbon steel particulate media are particularly useful when colorants other than black are used.

- the dilution is normally conducted to reduce the concentration of toner particles to between 0.1 to 15 percent by weight, preferably 0.3 to 3.0, and more preferably 0.5 to 2 weight percent with respect to the nonpolar liquid.
- One or more ionic or zwitterionic charge director compounds (C), of the type set out above, can be added to impart a charge.
- the addition may occur at any time during the process; preferably at the end of the process, e.g., after the particulate media, if used, are removed and the concentration of toner particles is accomplished. If a diluting nonpolar liquid is also added, the charge director compound can be added prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent thereto. If an additional adjuvant compound of a type described above has not been previously added in the preparation of the developer, it can be added prior to or subsequent to the developer being charged. Preferably the adjuvant compound is added after the dispersing step.
