Abstract

Disclosed is a dry developer for an electrostatic image, which comprises molded particles of a dispersion of a binder medium, a wax and a pigment, wherein a combination or partial reaction product of (A) a copolymer of an olefin with a polar group-containing, ethylenically unsaturated monomer and (B) a metal alkoxide of aluminum or titanium is incorporated as a crosslinking agent into said molded particles. In this dry developer, the mutual dispersibility of the respective developer components is highly improved, and the developer particles are uniform and homogeneous in the composition. This dry developer for an electrostatic image is prepared by a process which comprises kneading a mixture of a binder resin, a wax and a pigment at a temperature higher than the softening points of the binder resin and wax and molding the kneaded composition into fine particles, wherein prior to, simultaneously with or after addition of the pigment, a combination or partial reaction product of (A) a copolymer of an olefin with a polar group-containing, ethylenically unsaturated monomer and (B) a metal alkoxide of aluminum or titanium is incorporated into the binder resin and wax and the composition…
