<p>The invention provides a feed/transport roller formed of polyurethane material, which roller has high wear resistance as well as low hardness for providing excellent sheet feeding capacity and which meets a recent requirement; i.e., high durability for allowing high-speed operation. The feed/transport roller has an elastic layer formed of a castable polyurethane produced through reaction of a polyester-polyol having a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 3,000 with a polyisocyanate, wherein the elastic layer is formed from the polyester-polyol, the polyisocyanate, an adipic acid ester derivative serving as a plasticizer, a short-chain diol having a molecular weight of 70 to 120 serving as a chain-extender, and a triol having a number average molecular weight of 3,000 to 5,000 serving as a cross-liking agent. <IMAGE></p> |
