WHITE TONER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

To provide a white toner excellent in bending resistance and a concealability.SOLUTION: A white toner comprises toner particles including a binder resin, an inorganic white pigment and a polyvalent metal salt compound. The inorganic white pigment has an acidic group on the surface; the content of the inorganic white pigment in the toner particles is 10-50 vol.%; the polyvalent metal salt compound is a specific compound; and the absolute value of a difference between the SP value (J/cm3)1/2 of the binder resin and the SP value (J/cm3)1/2 of the polyvalent metal salt compound is 0.0-6.0; When setting the content of the polyvalent metal salt compound in the toner particles to Wa [mass%], the amount of the polyvalent metal in the polyvalent metal salt compound to Ma [μmol/g], the content of the inorganic white pigment in the toner particles to Wp [mass%] and the surface acidic group amount of the inorganic white pigment to Ap [μmol/g], 0.1≤(Wa×Ma)/(Wp×Ap)≤2.0 is satisfied.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】耐折り曲げ性及び隠蔽性に優れた白色トナー。【解決手段】結着樹脂、無機白色顔料、及び多価金属塩化合物を有するトナー粒子を含む白色トナーであって、該無機白色顔料は表面に酸性基を有し、該トナー粒子中の該無機白色顔料の含有量が、１０体積％〜５０体積％であり、該多価金属塩化合物は、特定の化合物であり、該結着樹脂のＳＰ値（Ｊ／ｃｍ３）１／２と該多価金属塩化合物のＳＰ値（Ｊ／ｃｍ３）１／２の差の絶対値が、０．０〜６．０であり、該トナー粒子中の該多価金属塩化合物の含有量をＷａ［質量％］とし、該多価金属塩化合物中の多価金属の量をＭａ［μｍｏｌ／ｇ］とし、該トナー粒子中の該無機白色顔料の含有量をＷｐ［質量％］とし、該無機白色顔料の表面酸性基量をＡｐ［μｍｏｌ／ｇ］としたとき、０．１≦（Ｗａ×Ｍａ）／（Ｗｐ×Ａｐ）≦２．０を満たすことを特徴とする白色トナー。【選択図】なし
