Chargeable resin powder

A chargeable resin powder comprising at least a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin, and a charge control agent or a charge enhancer, wherein a host-guest compound formed from a combination of a host compound and a guest compound is contained as a charge control agent or charge enhancer which controls or enhances resin powder charging, and wherein said host compound is a cyclic or non-cyclic compound selected from the group consisting of calix arenes, cyclodextrins, cyclic polyethers and non-cyclic polyethers, and said guest compound is a compound selected from the group consisting of organic acids, inorganic acids, organic bases, inorganic bases and salts of these acids and bases, said charge control agent having positive chargeability where said host compound is such a calix arene, cyclic polyether or non-cyclic polyether and having a negative chargeability where said host compound is such a cyclodextrin.

Chargeable resin powder comprising a thermosetting or thermoplastic resin and a charge control agent or charge enhancer therefor comprising a substantially colorless, heavy metal-free host-guest compound of high chargeability formed from a combination of a host compound which is a chargeable organic compound and a guest compound which is an organic or inorganic compound of substantially no chargeability, and which host-guest compound controls or enhances charging of the resin powder.
