  • Patent number: 4565773
    Abstract: Dry nonelectroscopic toners comprising pigmented organic resin particles having a size distribution of 0.2 to 30 micrometers, not more than 50 percent of the particles being less than 1 micrometer, surface coated with nonionic siloxane polyoxyalkylene copolymer with a polar end as defined having a hydrophilic lipophilic balance in the range of 7 to 15. The toners are useful in color developing positive- and negative-working photosensitive elements, particularly in automatic toning machine. Good clean-up and low stain propensity are achieved.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 1983
    Date of Patent: January 21, 1986

  • Patent number: 4561899
    Abstract: Yellow crystal stable pigment of mono-azo type having an average particle size of 0.02 to 0.8 .mu.m, the pigment having on its surface a crystal growth inhibitor compound having substantially similar chemical structure as the pigment, being more soluble than the pigment in solvents used to disperse the pigment, the inhibitor compound not fitting within the crystal lattice of the pigment. The crystal growth of pigment dispersions due to Ostwald ripening can be prevented by adding a crystal growth inhibitor as noted above to the pigment dispersion. The pigments can be dispersed in an organic polymeric binder, e.g., cellulose acetate, to form yellow toners which are useful in toning photosensitive color proofing systems.

  • Patent number: 4547457
    Abstract: Process of preparing dry nonelectroscopic toner comprising pigmented organic resin particles having a size distribution of 0.2 to 30 micrometers, surface coated with at least 0.1% by weight of silicone oil or fluorocarbon compound, in combination with at least 0.5% by weight of a water soluble, polymeric quaternary ammonium compound as defined. The toner is useful in color developing positive- and negative-working photosensitive elements. The toners, particularly magenta and cyan, exhibit high density and excellent stability.

  • Patent number: 4257951
    Abstract: Converting crude copper phthalocyanine (CPC) to pigmentary copper phthalocyanine (CPC) by two-stage milling with 5-400% by weight of alum and 0.6-3.7 cc of organic liquid per 100 grams of CPC in the first stage and 1.2-9.8 cc of organic liquid per 100 grams of CPC in the second stage with the total organic liquid being 4-13 cc per 100 grams CPC.
