A cleaning blade for an imaging apparatus is provided to exhibit excellent wear resistance at edge parts thereof, and to maintain high contact pressure with a member such as a photosensitive material to be cleaned. A cleaning blade for an imaging apparatus is produced by forming a thermosetting elastomer composition comprising a rubber component, a filler, a crosslinking agent, and a dispersion enhancer. The dispersion enhancer is a compound represented by the following formula 1 and/or a compound represented by the following formula 2, which is contained in an amount of 0.05-15 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the rubber component. In the formula 1, X represents a substituent except a fluoro group, and k represents an integer of 0-5. In the formula 2, Y and Z represent a substituent, l and m are an integer of 0-5, and n represents a natural number.
