Abstract:
A method for producing a blade member 1 includes an impregnation step of impregnating at least a portion of a surface of a blade portion 11 made of a polyurethane rubber with a surface treatment liquid that includes a salt of diazabicycloundecene and a carbodiimide-modified polyvalent isocyanate compound including a carbodiimide-modified polyvalent isocyanate dimer and a carbodiimide-modified polyvalent isocyanate trimer or higher multimer, in which a content of the trimer or higher multimer is 50% by mass or less, and a cured layer formation step of heating and curing the carbodiimide-modified polyvalent isocyanate compound which is impregnated into the blade portion 11, to form a cured layer 110.
Abstract:
A paper feed roller including an elastic layer composed of thermosetting polyurethane containing a plasticizer, wherein an amount of the plasticizer is within a range of 10 to 50 pts. mass based on 100 pts. mass of the thermosetting polyurethane, and a surface residual charge on the elastic layer is within a range of 90 to 170 V. The surface residual charge is a value determined by single-point measurement of a surface potential of the elastic layer. The measurement includes rotating the paper feed roller in a circumferential direction, electrifying the surface of the elastic layer with a corotron while rotating the paper feed roller, and measuring the surface potential at a center point on the paper feed roller in a roller axis direction in a position where the paper feed roller is rotated by 90 degrees from a position where the surface of the elastic layer is electrified.
