A thermoconductive liquid silicone rubber composition is provided for fixing rolls. The composition is capable of producing silicone rubber of superior thermal conductivity and small compression set after curing. The thermoconductive liquid silicone rubber composition contains (A) a diorganopolysiloxane with at least two silicon bonded alkenyl groups per molecule, (B) an alumina powder with an average particle size not more than 10 &mgr;m and an ignition loss of not more than 0.15 weight percent, (C) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two silicon bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule, and (D) a platinum catalyst. Fluororesin coated fixing rolls can be fabricated by providing a fluororesin layer on the peripheral surface of a roll shaft, with the silicone rubber layer interposed between it and the surface.

Thermoconductive liquid silicone rubber composition for fixing rolls and a fluororesin coated fixing roll

A liquid silicone rubber composition for fixing rolls comprising: (A) a diorganopolysiloxane which has at least two silicon-bonded alkenyl groups in each molecule and is liquid at room temperature, (B) an inorganic filler, (C) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in each molecule, (D) a platinum catalyst, and (E) a particulate hydroxide or oxide of an alkali metal or a particulate hydroxide or oxide of an alkaline earth metal; and a fluorocarbon resin-covered fixing roll produced by providing a fluorocarbon resin layer on the peripheral surface of a roll shaft across a silicone rubber layer, wherein said silicone rubber layer is produced by curing the above-mentioned liquid silicone rubber composition.
