A toner composition for use in a xerographic or electrostatographic
imaging process. The toner composition includes a toner particle and an
optional primary external surface additive and a friable external surface
additive. The friable external surface additive may also be a material
that is capable of functioning as a primary external surface additive.
The friable external surface additive is generally larger than the
primary surface additive and capable of having portions of the friable
particle broken or abraded off during the imaging process. The particles
that are abraded off the friable additive can replace the primary
external additive particles that become embedded into toner particles
during the development process. The friable additives contribute to
reducing toner aging and provide a toner with satisfactory flow and
triboelectric properties.
