A toner for the development of an electrostatic image is provided wherein at least one layer of a particulate resin is coated onto a substantial portion of the surface of an agglomerate of particles made from at least primary polymer particles and primary colorant particles, wherein at least one of the primary polymer particles and the particulate resin contains a wax, and the particulate resin of the outermost layer is substantially free of wax and a process for producing the toner.

Toner for the development of electrostatic image and the production process thereof

A toner is provided for the development of an electrostatic image which includes an agglomerate of particles obtained by agglomerating at least primary polymer particles and primary colorant particles, wherein the toner has a THF insoluble content of from 15% to 80% and the toner further includes a wax having a melting point of 30 to 100&deg; C., and the method for producing the same.

Toner for the development of electrostatic image and method for producing the same

An electrostatic image developing toner containing a polysiloxane having the following repeating units (a) and ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group such as a methyl group or a C.sub.6 -C.sub.12 aryl group such as a phenyl group, which may be different from each other, and R.sup.2 is a C.sub.6 -C.sub.200 saturated hydrocarbon group, provided that the carbon number of R.sup.2 is larger than the carbon number of R.sup.1.
