Abstract:
A magnetic carrier having excellent charge-imparting ability includes a magnetic particle and a coating layer disposed on a surface of the magnetic particle. The coating layer includes at least a resin component including an acrylic polymer and hydrotalcite dispersed in a form of particles having a predetermined number-average particle. A content of the hydrotalcite CH (parts by weight) is in a range of approximately 3 or more to approximately 30 parts by weight or less based on 100 parts by weight of the resin component. A content of the acrylic monomer unit CA (mol %) with respect to a total monomer unit included in the resin component and the content of the hydrotalcite CH satisfy the following relationship: 78≦CH×0.38+CA≦99.
