The applying material contains a fluorocarbon resin material.
Claims6
An applying device comprising:
- an applying member that applies an applying material to an outer peripheral surface of a fixing member that rotates, while a peripheral velocity difference is caused to exist between a peripheral velocity of the fixing member and a peripheral velocity of the applying member, the applying material having an outer peripheral surface containing a fluorocarbon resin material,
- wherein the applying material contains cross-linked polytetrafluoroethylene as the fluorocarbon resin material,
- wherein the outer peripheral surface of the applying member is configured to directly contact the fixing member, and
- wherein the applying member has a retracting mechanical section that brings the applying member in contact with the fixing member and separates the applying member from the fixing member.
