colored and black toner
clariant sells charge control agents (ccas) for toner applications under the name copy.
Clariant’s Charge Control Agents (CCAs) are characterized by high efficiency, quick charge-up and long-term charge stability. In addition, their charging effect is unaltered by a change in environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature, etc. They also exhibit good thermal stability and are easy to disperse.
The colorless CCAs are designed for multi-purpose applications, i. e., for color toners as well as for black toners. All CCAs are compatible with common toner resins like styrene-acrylic, polyester, epoxy, etc.

clariant sells organic pigments for toner applications under the name toner.
Toner pigments must satisfy coloristic re quirements such as hue, tinctorial strength, and transparency; also, they must possess good heat resistance and light fastness. In addition, pigments for toner application should meet triboelectric requirements. Chemically identical pigments can show very different properties depending on their chemical processes.

advantages
· Good dispersibility· Compatibility in
toner resins· High transparency· Specified and monitored
triboelectric properties
Clariant has developed a special range of toner pigments. These products offer additional advantages to the toner industry, e. g. good dispersibility and compatibility in toner resins, and high transparency. In addition, the triboelectric properties are specified and monitored.
The pigments listed for the process colors of yellow, magenta, and cyan are a general recommendation. Special combinations may be necessary, de pending on the parti cular toner resin, the respective toner process (e. g. chemical or conventional toner) and intended use (color copying, color printing, color proofing, etc.). Our experts can advise you for your individual needs.

Pigment Preparationsproduct descriptions and properties
clariant sells specially developed pigment preparations for toner applications.A factor of utmost importance for the efficiency of pigments is their optimum degree of dispersion. Therefore, a pigment must be homogeneously incor- porated into a toner resin by a physical process with high shear forces. In the case of chemical toner pigments need to be dispersed into various media, depending on the type of chemical toner process.
In all cases predispersed pigments in the form of pigment preparations help to reduce processing time and cost. Clariant provides a set of standard solid pigment preparations under the trademark Hostacopy®.
In addition, liquid and solid tailor-made pigment preparations are available on request.
advantages
· Non-dusting microgranules· Excellent dispersion
quality due to optimized processing
· Compatibility with common polyester toner resins
· Easier dosing and mixing reduce toner process costs

For each CCA the charging efficiency is controlled by measuring the q/m-value (charge-to-mass ratio). The q/m-value quantifies the triboelectric properties of a toner ingredient dis persed in the toner matrix, both in sign and magnitude. In addition, relevant solid-state parameters are specified.
For each pigment, properties such as shade, transparency and tinctorial strength are specified. For Toner Pigments the triboelectric properties are also specified. For Inkjet pigments the purity is controlled.
For each pigment preparation, properties such as tinctorial strength, shade, purity of shade, transparency and viscosity are specified.
For each batch of water soluble salt-free (SF) dye, the cation content is specified, as well as the tinctorial strength, shade, purity of shade, surface tension, pH value and filterability.
For solvent soluble dyes, parameters like tinctorial strength, shade, purity of shade, solubility and filterability are specified.
For waxes, physical properties (melting temperature, melt viscosity) and chemical properties (acid numbers, saponification numbers) are controlled.

chemical classAll products mentioned in this brochure are classified according to their chemical structure and application. colour indexColour Index provides all colorants (dyes and pigments) with two reference numbers on the basis of a) chemical classification and b) coloristic aspects, according to the widely accepted system of Colour Index Generic Names and Colour Index Constitution Numbers. dye contentThe dye content stated in approximate percentage is the concentration of dye in the aqueous or solvent-based solution and should be regarded only as a guide. The decisive crite rion when standardizing is the tinctorial strength.
dyesDyes are colorants chemically differentiated as Direct, Reactive, Solvent and Acid dyes, which are used for aqueous or solvent-based inkjet inks.
general test conditionsThe values quoted are determined under Clariant test conditions. Any change in operating parameters, e. g., concentration in use, resin or substrate, can influence the test results. inkjet systemThere are two basic forms of inkjet systems, continuous (CIJ) and drop-on- demand (DOD). inkjet inksInkjet inks can be generally divided into three main fields of application: water-based inks, solvent-based inks and UV curing inks.
Glossaryoverview and explanation
light fastnessThe light fastness is determined with the Xenotest instrument from a drawdown in full shade in accordance with DIN ISO 12040 (eight-step Blue Wool scale). Rating 8 denotes out standing light fast ness and rating 1 very poor light fastness. lvLow-volume trial product without fixed specifications.
pigment contentThe pigment content stated in approxi-mate percentage is the concentration of pigment in the preparation and should be regarded only as a guideline. The decisive criterion when standardizing is the tinctorial strength. mekMethyl ethyl ketone, a volatile organic solvent used as the carrier for inkjet inks. melting temperatureMelting temperature of wax is de scribed typically by measuring the drop point, i.e., the temperature when the molten wax drops by itself. The method is based on the standards DIN 51801/2 and ASTM D 127.
27
melt viscosityMelt viscosity of wax is measured by using rotating viscosimetry devices. Standard tests for melt viscosity of waxes are DIN 51562 and DIN 53018.
nipNon-Impact Printing. particle size (average size of primary particles)The median value of the primary particle is determined as follows: a series of photos is taken with the transmission electron microscope and evaluated using a graphic tablet. After analysis of about 1000 primary particles, a par ticle size distribution is calculated in parts by volume. The d50-value of this distribution is the median value. pigment dispersingDistribution of a pigment, accompanied by a reduction of the agglomerate size to afford primary particles and aggregates. The dispersion steps are deagglomeration, wetting, distribution and stabilization.
pigmentsPigments are colorants insoluble in the application medium.
preparationsPreparations are based on pigments dispersed in water (Hostajet) or in resins (Hostacopy) to provide ready-to-use colorants for aqueous or solvent-based inkjet inks.
polarityIn electrophotographic printing the polarity of the toner could be either positive or negative. The sign of the polarity is controlled by Charge Control Agents. They also control magnitude, the charge-up behavior and long-term stability of the final toner charge characteristics.
solvent-based inksSolvent-based inks contain colorants such as Savinyl dyes.
standard depth (sd)An arbitrarily chosen depth of shade (color strength) for all hues, from which a uniform depth of shade may be determined for purposes of com parison. Depth of shade can then be described as a multiple or fraction of standard depth. The pigment content figure in percentage for the standard depth 1/1 SD and 1/3 SD was carried out according to DIN 53235.
