Abstract
Abstract An improved fuser roll (10) is disclosed which has a rigid core (11) and having coated on the core a thin layer (12) of a composition which comprises the crosslink product of a mixture of about 100 parts by weight of a, ω-hydroxypolydimethylsiloxane, about 128 to 250 parts by weight of finely divided tabular alumina, about 13 to 50 parts by weight of a finely divided iron oxide, together with effective amounts of a crosslinking agent and a crosslinking catalyst.
