FIXING ROLLER/FIXING BELT, AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A fixing roller/fixing belt comprising a base material and, sequentially superimposed thereon, an elastic layer and a surface layer, wherein the surface layer is one formed by thermal shrinkage of a PFA tube, and wherein the surface layer and the elastic layer are bonded together by means of an adhesive material containing PFA. In particular, in the fixing roller/fixing belt, the PFA tube forming the surface layer may have a thermal shrinkage ratio of 3 to 20%. Further, in the fixing roller/fixing belt, the PFA content of the adhesive material containing PFA may be in the range of 20 to 30 wt.%.
