Resin particle and process of producing the same

Abstract

Provided is a resin particle comprising a resin (a) and a filler (b) contained in the particle; the particle has a volume average particle diameter of from 0.1 to 300 μm and a shape factor of from 110 to 300; the particle has an outer shell layer (S) comprising at least a portion of the filler (b); the layer (S) is at least 0.01 μm thick and has a thickness that is ½ or less of the maximum inscribed circle radius of the particle cross section. When used as a toner resin, it is excellent in blade cleaning properties and wide in the fixation temperature range; when employed as a paint additive or a cosmetics additive, it is excellent in masking properties; when used as paper coating additive, it is excellent in ink retention; when utilized as an abrasive, it is excellent in abrasion.
