Abstract

A toner for developing latent electrostatic images which comprises a binder resin comprising a styrene polymer or a copolymer thereof, a releasing agent, dispersed in the above binder resin, comprising a low-molecular-weight polypropylene with a weight-average molecular weight of 3000 to 25000, and a coloring agent, dispersed in the above binder resin, with the styrene polymer or copolymer thereof being contained in a ratio of 10-50% and the low-molecular-weight polypropylene in a ratio of 5-60% at a surface portion of the above toner measured by the electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), and a maximum particle diameter of the low-molecular-weight polypropylene contained in the releasing agent being 5000 .ANG. or less.
