Abstract: A toner for developing latent electrostatic images composed of a continuous phase containing a binder resin, and a disperse phase dispersed in the form of finely-divided disperse phases in the continuous phase, containing a resin which is not the same as the binder resin for use in the continuous phase, and finely-divided particles of a releasing agent which are dispersed in the resin, with a coloring agent being dispersed in the continuous phase and/or the disperse phase.

Abstract: A continuous multi-layer plating line for steel sheet which includes a hot-galvanizing apparatus to form a galvanized coating and optionally to alloy the coating and an electroplating apparatus to form an electroplated coating on the galvanized coating. Between the hot-galvanizing apparatus and the electroplating apparatus, a post-galvanizing surface treatment apparatus effective for removing surface oxide contaminants and activating the surface of the galvanized coating is disposed and the galvanized steel sheet is treated thereby prior to electroplating. The post-galvanizing surface treatment may be carried out by applying an alkali solution or an acid which can dissolve aluminum oxide to the galvanized coating, by alkali electrolysis, by cathodic electrolysis, by cooling the galvanized steel sheet with an alkali solution, or by skin-pass rolling using an alkali solution or an acid which can dissolve aluminum oxide as a skin-pass roling liquid.
