Toner is a printing powder [usually] made from granulated plastic and a variety of other materials, including carbon powder, iron oxide, polypropylene(a synthetic resin) and silica.... Toner is rapidly heated by fusers or rollers within the equipment, and bonds to the paper as it melts. 2, record 1, English, - toner

Pigmento en forma de polvo seco, cargado eléctricamente, compuesto por partículas negras de resina plástica y hierro, suele ser bastante tóxico, por lo general es de color negro, se utiliza en las impresoras láser y fotocopiadoras para producir textos e imágenes en un papel. 2, record 1, Spanish, - t%C3%B3ner

El tóner es un polvo negro muy fino negativamente cargado, lo que causa que sea atraído hacia los puntos con cargas positivas en la superficie del tambor. Así, después de una rotación completa, la superficie del tambor contiene toda la imagen a imprimirse en la página. [...] El tóner está especialmente diseñado para derretirse muy rápidamente, y un fuser (o fusionador) aplica calor y presión al papel para hacer que el tóner se adhiera permanentemente. 1, record 1, Spanish, - t%C3%B3ner

La Fundación del Español Urgente aclara que el plural en español de la palabra tóner es tóneres. [...] en español, además de ser el nombre del pigmento, también se usa tóner para denominar al cartucho o carcasa de plástico que lo contiene, es decir, se llama tóner tanto al contenido como al continente; de ahí que esa palabra también se use en plural y surjan las dudas: ¿es "los tóner", "los tóners" o "los tóneres"? 3, record 1, Spanish, - t%C3%B3ner

Granulated carbon is used in filter beds whose design characteristics must be calculated particularly carefully. The carbon acts in several ways... Granulated activated carbon is a real filtration substance and can, if necessary, be used for eliminating suspended solids... activated carbon adsorbs most pollutants dissolved in water. 3, record 2, English, - granulated%20carbon

The term granular carbon is equivalent to coarse "particulate carbon". This is a carbon material consisting of separate particles or grains which are monolithic, on the average larger than about 100 µm in diameter, but smaller than about 1 cm. 4, record 2, English, - granulated%20carbon
