Abstract:
1. A process for producing a fuser member coating comprising a) adding and reacting a fluoroelastomer, a crosslinking agent, a polar solvent, and a fluorinated blend comprising a fluorinated copolymer surfactant and a fluorinated polysiloxane additive to form a coating solution, and b) providing said coating solution on said fuser member to form a fuser member coating, wherein said fluorinated copolymer surfactant comprises a copolymer selected from the group consisting of a fluorinated acrylate copolymer and a fluorinated polyether copolymer, wherein said fluorinated polysiloxane additive comprises pendant fluorinated groups, and wherein said fluorinated blend is present in said coating solution in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 20 pph based on an amount of fluoroelastomer.
