A process for preparing particles of a high water-absorbent resin which comprises mixing a powder of a high water-absorbent resin with a solution of a sorbitan surfactant having an HLB of 2.1 to 5.0 dissolved in an organic solvent, volatilizing the organic solvent from the mixture to give a resin powder with a content of the organic solvent of not more than 5% by weight, adding water to the mixture to adjust a water content in the resin powder to 25 to 60% by weight, adding an inorganic powder to the resin powder, and drying the resulting mixture. The particles of the high water-absorbent resin obtained according to the present invention are suitable for use of sanitary goods, water-retaining agents or soil conditioner in the fields of agriculture and horgiculture and other various uses.

Process for preparing particles of high water-absorbent resin

This binder for toner preparation comprises as the main constituent thereof a polyester (X) composed of a polybasic acid component and a polyhydric alcohol component with a rosin-modified polyhydric alcohol (ab) introduced as part of the polyhydric alcohol component. The rosin-modified polyhydric alcohol is prepared in advance by reacting a polyhydric alcohol (a) having three or more hydroxyl groups with a rosin type compound (b).

Binder for a toner comprising a polyester from rosin or hydrogenated

There are provided binder resins for use in toner compositions which comprise, as the main component thereof, a terminally blocked polyester in which the terminal hydroxyl groups of polyester polyol molecules are blocked by a rosin compound selected from the group consisting of rosin, hydrogenated rosin and disproportionated rosin and which has an acid value of not more than 4 KOH mg/g and a hydroxyl value of not more than 20 KOH mg/g as well as toner compositions comprising them in combination of a coloring agent and a charge control agent.
