Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a fixing roll, comprising a core metal, a heat resistant elastic layer formed to cover the circumferential outer surface of the core metal, and a surface layer formed to cover the circumferential outer surface of the heat resistant elastic layer, the surface layer being formed of a tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin film of a double layer structure consisting of an inner layer having a volume resistivity of 10 11 Ω • cm or less and an outer layer having a thickness falling within a range of between 3 µm and 50 µm, and the entire thickness of the resin film falling within a range of between 20 µm and 500 µm.
