Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an endless elastic belt comprising the required belt characteristic with the high whiteness and having the fine long term stability of the antistatic effect by making a belt to be used for an automatic original feeding unit of a copying machine of the rubber component which main component are the rubber having the high electric resistance and the epichlorohydrine rubber. CONSTITUTION:The epichlorohydrine rubber and the appropriate quantity of the filler are previously kneaded firstly, and next, the rubber having the high electric resistance and the remainings of the filler are added to that mixed material and they are mixed to compound the rubber component. An endless elastic belt 6 is made of that rubber component by the conventional method. In this case, the mixing ratio of the rubber having the high electric resistance and the epichlorohydrine rubber is desirable to be set in the range of 10 - 90weight% of the epichlorohydrine rubber, and 30 - 80% is more desirable. The endless belt 6 obtained by this way presents the high whiteness, and generates no bleed, and has the stable antistatic effect for a long time to the change of the environment.

(Hereinafter, blank spaces) Next, using the rubber composition obtained as described above, an endless elastic heald was produced by a conventionally known method. Then, the surface electrical resistance, friction coefficient, breaking strength, and breaking elongation of the endless elastic belt were measured under two different environmental conditions (normal conditions, 70°C x 5% RH for one week), and the results were are shown in Table 2 below.

(Margins below) From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that there is not much difference in the coefficient of friction between the actual height measurement and the comparative height measurement against paper, but the coefficient of friction against glass is smaller. In addition, the surface electrical resistance of the actual height measurements is lower than that of the comparative height measurements by more than an order of magnitude under both normal conditions and conditions such as high temperatures. From this, it can be seen that the antistatic performance of the actual height measurement is excellent. It can also be seen that the actual height measurement is superior in terms of strength.
