Fixing member, method for producing it, and image forming apparatus comprising the fixing member

A method for producing a fixing member, comprising the steps of:

• forming a first primer layer by applying a first primer on a substrate;
• forming an elastic layer by applying a solution of heat-resistance synthetic rubber on said first primer layer;
• forming a second primer layer by applying a second primer on said elastic layer;
• forming a layer of fluorocarbon resin by applying dispersion liquid or powdered paint of fluorocarbon resin including a melting point, which is at least 20° C. lower than a temperature for starting an oxidation of the heat-resistance synthetic rubber constituting said elastic layer on said second primer layer;
• and
• burning said layer of fluorocarbon resin with a temperature, which is higher than of the melting point of said fluorocarbon resin, and a burning temperature, which does not exceed the starting temperature for the oxidation of the heat-resistance synthetic rubber constituting said elastic layer.
