Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of toner for developing electrostatic charge images in printers, copiers, etc., and in particular to a toner with strong fixing property and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Printers and copiers contain image forming devices, which use charging means to uniformly charge the image forming area on the surface of the image carrier, use exposure means to write to the image carrier, and use development means to form an image on the image carrier using friction-charged toner. The image on the image carrier is then directly transferred to the printing paper sent by the paper feeding means by the transfer means, and the image is fixed on the printing paper by the fixing means. Toner is a consumable material such as carbon water and ink used in printers and copiers, which is used to form an image on paper.

[0003] Toners are usually composed of a significant amount of binder resin, release agent, colorant, charge additive and external additive. The toner adheres to the paper surface under pressure and temperature with the help of the binder resin, the charge additive is used to control the charge amount, increase the charging rate or improve the stability of the charge, and the external additive is used to improve the fluidity or adhesion of the toner.

[0004] The fixability of toner refers to the ability of toner to be stably fixed on the image carrier after forming an image on the image carrier, and not to fall off, fade or diffuse. Traditional toners have weak fixability and poor stability, but when a curing agent is used to promote the adhesion of toner to the image carrier, the release property of the toner will be affected, and it is impossible to find a balance between fixability and release property. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to balance the fixability and release properties of a toner, the present application provides a toner with strong fixability and a method for preparing the same.

[0006] The present application provides a strong fixing toner and a preparation method thereof using the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present application provides a toner with strong fixing properties, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 70-85 parts of adhesive resin; 4-7 parts of colorant; 2-3 parts of charging additive; 2-5 parts of external additives; 6-9 parts of release agent; The adhesive resin is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 3-8 parts of glycidyl methacrylate; Styrene 75-80 parts; 15-25 parts of n-butyl methacrylate; 1-3 parts of isophorone diisocyanate; Initiator 0.5-1 part.
