Despite the vital role it plays, the dispersion of release wax in polar toner resins remains a challenge. Baker Petrolite, a Baker Hughes company, evaluated the effect of combining specialty performance LMW polymers (hereafter referred to as specialty polymers) with release wax to enhance compatibility with polar toner resins. The compatibility was assessed in both polyester and styrene acrylic resins by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), light microscope and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Background
