The present invention relates to electrophotographic developers containing polarity control agents with improved properties. More particularly, the present invention relates to a polarity control agent that imparts polarity to carbon and other pigment particles to provide superior dispersion stability or superior development properties when used in liquid developers and the like. Generally, a liquid developer for electrophotography is mainly composed of a non-aqueous solvent, a dye, a pigment, a resin, a polarity control agent, and the like. Conventionally, natural or synthetic resins such as alkyd resins, linseed oil, rosin-modified resins, acrylic resins, naphthenic acid metal salts, and lecithin have been mainly used as polarity control agents. However, these polarity control agents are not satisfactory in dispersion stability of pigments. For example, when carbon black is used as a pigment, if the dispersion concentration is low, dispersion may not be successful and even if it is dispersed, reaggregation may occur. Furthermore, when an organic pigment is used as a pigment, it is difficult to disperse when the dispersion concentration is high, and even when the dispersion concentration is low, it tends to aggregate and settle, resulting in problems such as lack of color clarity. Furthermore, when a large number of copies are made using an electrophotographic copying device that uses a conventional developer containing a polarity control agent, the image density decreases and the images become unclear due to the accumulation of the polarity control agent. There was a drawback that over time, so-called "bleeding" images appeared. The present inventors have conducted various studies to overcome the drawbacks of conventional polarity control agents, and have found that certain hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives can be extremely excellent polarity control agents in terms of dispersion stability, polarity, image quality, etc. I learned. That is, according to the present invention, as a polarity control agent, the general formula (wherein R 1 is an alkyl group and R 2 is a hydrogen atom or a dialkylaminomethyl group) or an alkali or alkaline earth metal, aluminum, manganese or cobalt salt thereof. A developer for use in the invention is provided. An object of the present invention is to provide a polarity control agent that has excellent dispersion stability and less image deterioration. A further object of the invention is to provide an electrophotographic developer containing a polarity control agent with improved properties. In the compound having the above general formula according to the present invention, salt-forming elements include lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, barium,
Mention may be made of manganese, aluminum and cobalt. The compounds of the present invention are specifically shown below.

[Formula] The polarity control agent of the present invention is usually 0.01 to 0.01 to the pigment.
It is suitable to use it in a proportion of 20% by weight, preferably 1 to 10% by weight. The polarity control agents of the present invention can be used together with conventional inorganic and organic pigments. Inorganic pigments include, for example, black pigments such as carbon black, acetylene black and graphite, red pigments such as red red pigment, yellow pigments such as yellow lead, and blue pigments such as navy blue. Examples of organic pigments include azo pigments such as Hansa Yellow, Benzidine Yellow and Permanent Red, phthalocyanine pigments such as Phthalocyanine Blue, and quinacridone pigments such as Quinacridone Magenta, Quinacridone Red and Quinacridone Orange. The dispersion medium that can be used in the polarity control agent of the present invention is a polar solvent such as water or alcohol, or a non-aqueous solvent. Examples of the non-aqueous solvent include aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, and isoparaffinic solvents (bp 100 to 200°C) are suitable. Generally speaking, the electrophotographic liquid developer of the present invention includes a colorant, which is blended into a desired composition, and
It is prepared by dispersing a solvent (dispersion medium), resin and polarity control agent using a suitable dispersion means. It is suitable to use ball mills, attritors, sand mills, three-roll mills, hot rolls, peddy mills, and the like. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. In the examples, all parts are by weight. Example 1 The following components: Carbon (Mitsubishi #44) 10 parts Polystearyl methacrylate 50 Polybutyl methacrylate 20 Isopar H (Exxon product, isoparaffinic solvent) 100 Polarity control agent [Compound (E)] 5 Disperse with attritor for 4 hours. A developer was prepared by dispersing 10 g of the obtained dispersion in 1000 ml of Isopar H. The average particle size of the toner immediately after developer preparation was 0.28 μ, and the zeta potential was 68 mV. When this developer was stored at room temperature for 3 months, the average particle size of the toner was 0.26μ, and the zeta potential was 80μ.
It was V. There was also a very small amount of sediment. Example 2 The following components: polylauryl methacrylate 50 parts Isopar H 100 Carbon (Mitsubishi MA-11) 10 Polarity control agent [Compound (F)] 15 Dispersion was performed in a ball mill for 10 hours. 8 of the dispersion
A developer was prepared by dispersing g in 1000 ml of Isopar H. The average particle size of the toner immediately after preparation was 0.25 μ, and the zeta potential was 92 mV. When this developer was stored at room temperature for 3 months, the average particle size was
0.26μ, and the zeta potential was 93mV. Examples 3 to 11 The following Table 1 was substituted for each component described in Example 1.
Each developer was prepared in exactly the same manner except for using each component described in . The results of evaluating each developer are shown in Table 2 below.

[Table] As is clear from the results shown in the above examples, the developer using the polarity control agent of the present invention was clearly charged positively or negatively and exhibited excellent dispersion stability. For example, the zeta potential is 60 to 90 mV
Even after long-term storage at a high temperature, there was almost no toner sediment. Furthermore, the average particle size of the toner did not change. Further, when the developer containing the polarity control agent of the present invention is used, there is an advantage that the copied image hardly changes at the initial stage and after copying a large number of copies (10,000 copies or more). In particular, there were few blurred images and the image density was constant. The polarity control agent of the present invention is effective not only in liquid developers for electrophotography but also in dry developers, and can also be used for dispersing pigments in paints, lacquers, inks, paints, and the like.
