More Information
Summary:An electrostatic developer is provided that contains toner-containing image-forming particles and an uncrosslinked, linear hydrocarbon based homopolymer wax component, wherein the wax has a total number of branches in each of one or more chains that is less than 0.5%, relative to total number of carbons in said wax; wherein the wax is further characterized by having a set of endotherms as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) run at a maximum rate of 10° C. per minute, these endotherms being characterized by a primary endotherm and at least a secondary endotherm, the primary endotherm exhibiting a temperature range of between 70° C. and 90° C., and the secondary endotherm exhibiting a temperature range of between 95° C. and 110° C., and wherein the wax has a crystallinity of from 75% to 90% as determined by small angle X-ray diffraction analysis.
