Abstract

Carrier particles for developers used in electrostatographic imaging processes such as electrophotography comprise core particles such as strontium ferrite having a coating that comprises a silicone resin admixed with an alkali metal salt of an organic acid. The novel carrier particles provide faster charging rates for toner, less toner throw-off and improved charge stability.
