  • FIXING MEMBER AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20080063444
    Abstract: In a fixing member having an elastic layer of heat resistance rubber provided on a substrate and a separation layer of fluorocarbon resin provided on the elastic layer, the fluorocarbon resin is that a tensile strength of a 30 ?m coating film burned at 340° C. is equal or greater than 25 MPa. The heat resistance rubber includes, for example, silicone rubber or fluorosilicone rubber as a major component. The fluorocarbon resin includes PFA as a major component, for example.
    Type: Application
