| STP® Surface Treatment Particles for toner enhancement |
|
STP® is a series of micronized toner additives that can offer a wide variety of benefits when added to dry toners for use in copy machines, facsimile machines and high-speed printers.
This unique product was developed by Nipon Paint Co., Ltd., one of the world's largest manufacturers of paints and coatings, based on their exclusive micro-gel technology.
|
| Value-Added Benefits of STP® include: |
Cleaning : Small toner particles often remain on drums. This residue is difficult to clean. Currently, silica, aluminum and iron oxide are used to clean the residue off the drums.
By adding STP® along with inorganic material to the toner, clean drums can be achieved without affecting the charge.
Anti-Blocking : Toner particles often stick together during transfer fusion at lower tempertures. The addition of STP® to the toner can prevent this from occurring.
Tribocharge : Fine-tuning of toner is possible by adding STP® to an existing toner formulation. The addition of STP® can enhance a positive or negative charge, which reduces or eliminates the need to reformulate existing toners to fit different machine models.
Flow : The addition of STP® can assist toner flow. The result is a cleaner, clearer image.
Anti-Filming : A thin layer of toner often remains on the surface of the drum. STP® gently remove this film without scratching the drum surface.
Low Fusion : By encapsulating toner with STP®, low temperature fusion is possible.
