Abstract: The tribo-electro static charge is stabilized by treating the surface of the metallic-oxide fine powders such as a silica powder, using the mixed solution which consists of a specific silane coupling agent containing primary amino group, other silane coupling agent containing amino group and the hydrophobic agent The powder such as silica has the small charge variation with time, and is suitable as the additive of the powder coatings or the electrophotographic toner.
