  • FUSER MEMBER COMPRISING DEFLOCCULATED MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20080019743
    Abstract: A fuser component useful in electrostatographic machines is provided, having a substrate, and thereover a coating composition comprising a haloelastomer, such as, for example, a fluoroelastomer, and a deflocculating agent. A fuser component comprising a deflocculating agent exhibits improved properties including, but not limited to, increased gloss and a smoother coating surface with a relatively high adhesive strength. The use of a deflocculating agent also reduces or eliminates the barium sulfate defect.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Christopher Blair, Ugur Sener, Robert Finsterwalder, Joy Longhenry
  • Phase change ink imaging component having elastomer outer layer
    Publication number: 20070159518
    Abstract: An offset printing apparatus having a coated imaging member for use with phase-change inks, has a substrate, an optional intermediate layer, and thereover an outer coating having an elastomer of monomers selected from the group consisting of halogenated monomers, polyorganosiloxane monomers, and mixtures thereof, and an optional heating member associated with the offset printing apparatus

  • Process for coating fluoroelastomer fuser member using fluorinated surfactant and fluroinated polydimethylsiloxane additive blend
    Publication number: 20060263538
    Abstract: A process for producing a fuser member coating including a) adding and reacting a fluoroelastomer, a crosslinking agent, a polar solvent, and a fluorinated blend comprising a fluorinated copolymer surfactant and a fluorinated polydimethylsiloxane additive to form a coating solution, and b) providing the coating solution on the fuser member to form a fuser member coating, wherein the fluorinated copolymer surfactant comprises a copolymer selected from the group consisting of a fluorinated acrylate copolymer and a fluorinated polyether copolymer, and wherein said fluorinated polydimethylsiloxane additive comprises pendant fluorinated groups.
