Abstract
Abstract The useful life expectancy of an RTV roll for use especially in the fuser of a copying machine is increased considerably by applying a silazane resin polymer coating to the surface of the roll and heating the coated roll to an elevated temperature sufficient to cure the resin and bond it to the roll surface so that it forms a flexible adhesive covering on the roll which minimizes the adherence to the roll of toner particles and copy paper.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
34 words
A roll of the type having a core and a heat-resistant elastomeric cover on the core, said roll being characterized by a flexible silazane resin polymer coating reacted with and bonded to said cover.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
34 words
A roll of the type having a core and a heat-resistant elastomeric cover on the core, said roll being characterized by a flexible silazane resin polymer coating reacted with and bonded to said cover.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The roll defined in claim 1 wherein said cover comprises an RTV silicone rubber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The roll defined in claim 2 wherein said silazane resin polymer coating comprises: ##STR3##
Claim 5
Independent Claim
69 words
The method of extending the useful performance life of an RTV silicon rubber covered roll comprising the steps of coating the surface of said roll with a silazane resin polymer in liquid form and maintaining said coated roll at a temperature sufficient to cause said resin to react with and bond to the roll surface while curing thereby to form a flexible abhesive heat-resistant coating on the roll surface.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
69 words
The method of extending the useful performance life of an RTV silicon rubber covered roll comprising the steps of coating the surface of said roll with a silazane resin polymer in liquid form and maintaining said coated roll at a temperature sufficient to cause said resin to react with and bond to the roll surface while curing thereby to form a flexible abhesive heat-resistant coating on the roll surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method defined in claim 4 wherein said coating is composed of at least 1.5% resin solids.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method defined in claim 5 wherein said coated roll is maintained at a curing temperature in excess of 60° C. for at least 10 minutes.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
44 words
A silicone rubber roll with a flexible, heat-resistant surface formed by coating the silicone rubber with a silazane resin polymer in liquid form and curing the polymer in situ so that it reacts with and bonds to the silicone rubber at the roll surface.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
44 words
A silicone rubber roll with a flexible, heat-resistant surface formed by coating the silicone rubber with a silazane resin polymer in liquid form and curing the polymer in situ so that it reacts with and bonds to the silicone rubber at the roll surface.
