TonernameJapanese:トナー
Účel
Toner se používá hlavně v laserových tiskárnách v tiskařských strojích.
Metoda výroby
V reakci na různé potřeby se výroba toneru vyvíjí ve směru zjemňování, barvení a vysoké rychlosti. Výroba tonerů používá hlavně metody pulverizace a polymerace:
Metoda polymerace
Metoda polymerace je chemická uhlíková prášková technologie, která zahrnuje (suspenzní polymeraci, emulzní polymeraci a mikrokapsle, disperzní polymeraci, kompresní polymeraci, chemickou pulverizaci.)

Polymerizedtonertechnologyhasexistedformanyyears:
—První patent na polymerizovaný toner se objevil v roce 1972.
—V 70. a 80. letech 20. století byl široce vylepšen.
—První komerční monochromatický tón se objevil v roce 1993.
—První komerční barevný tón se objevil v roce 1998.
Technický proces polymerovaného uhlíkového prášku:
(pryskyřice, pigment, disperzant, další činidla)→(ultrazvuková disperze)→(voda,dispergační činidlo)→(úplné míchání)→(Polymerizace)→(mytí)→(filtrace a separace)→(sušení)→(následné zpracování)→( Dokončený produkt)
