Abstract
A textile material whose fibers have been coated, at least in part, with fluorocarbon particles is usable in an electrophotographic printing machine to clean toner particles off a fuser roll, and to supply a toner release agent to the fuser roll. The textile material can include woven goods, as well as non-woven felts and the like. The resultant product has reduced friction and decreased fiber shedding.
