There is provided a conductive roller for electrophotographic equipment in which a shaft made of core metal has excellent rust resistance. The conductive roller includes a shaft made of core metal, a protective layer formed on the outer periphery of the shaft, and a conductive rubber elastic layer formed on the outer periphery of the protective layer. In a conductive roller for electrophotographic equipment, the conductive rubber elastic layer contains a rubber containing halogen atoms, and the protective layer is formed of a crosslinked material of a composition containing a material obtained by melting and mixing the following components (a) to (c):

Conductive roller for electrophotographic equipment

The disclosure provides a charging roll for excellent image quality electrophotographic equipment. This charging roll for electrophotographic equipment is provided with a shaft body, an elastic body layer formed on the outer periphery of the shaft body, and a surface layer formed on the outer periphery of the elastic body layer, wherein the surface layer contains a modifier having polyamide and a hydroxyl group, and has a B&#xe9;nard cell with a height of 0.1 to 1.0 &#x3bc;m on the surface thereof. A fluorine-based modifier having a hydroxyl group, a silicone-based modifier having a hydroxyl group, and an acrylic modifier having a hydroxyl group can be cited as examples of the modifier having the hydroxyl group.
