Abstract
A process for making a multiple-layer elastomer-coated member, includes applying a coating of an elastomeric material to a supporting metallic substrate; and curing the elastomeric material by exposure to radiant energy in a radiant energy curing apparatus.
Claims29
A process for making an elastomer-coated member, comprising:
- applying a coating of an elastomeric material to a supporting metallic substrate;
- and
- curing the elastomeric material by exposure to radiant energy in a radiant energy curing apparatus over a time period of from about 5 to about 60 minutes and in an absence of convection heating, wherein the radiant energy cross-links the elastomeric material,
- wherein said elastomer-coated member is a member, suitable for use in an electrostatographic printing process, selected from the group consisting of a fuser member, a fixing member, a pressure roller, and release agent donor member.
