Problems solved by technology

Moreover, sodium perchlorate (NaClO 4 ) etc. and thermoplastic elastomers can be difficult to handle and generally expensive
In addition, in general, the volume resistivity of an ion-conducting seamless belt is largely dependent on the environment. In this case, it is difficult to control the copying voltage and the structure of the image forming device is complicated.

Embodiment 1

[0081] The anion-containing salt described in the above chemical formula 1, i.e. bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide lithium, is mixed with a polyester thermoplastic elastomer (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer P90BD, manufactured by Toyobo) in a weight ratio of 10%. Polyesters and polyethers) were blended and then dry-blended, put into the hopper of a twin-screw extruder, and kneaded at a set temperature of 210° C. to obtain a conductive masterbatch. The measured value of the resin temperature at this time was 230°C.

[0082] Melamine (MC640: manufactured by Nissan Chemical) was mixed with thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer P90BD in a weight ratio of 50%, and then dry-blended, put into the hopper of a twin-screw extruder, and mixed at a set temperature of 210°C. Refining to obtain flame retardant masterbatch. The measured value of the resin temperature at this time was 230°C.

Embodiment 2

[0106] Conductive masterbatch and flame retardant masterbatch were prepared by the same method as in Example 1. Except that the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide lithium in the material used for making the belt is matched by 2.5 parts by weight relative to the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer P90BD100 parts by weight, all other materials are mixed according to the method of Example 1. After smelting, it is formed into a flame-retardant seamless belt. Belt inner diameter, average thickness, and width are also the same as in Example 1.

Embodiment 3

[0114] The belt obtained in Example 1 is electrostatically coated with an electrostatic coating device on its outer peripheral surface to obtain a coating layer. It is a coating material prepared by diluting with water and adding a leveling agent. The coating layer has a thickness of 5 μm.

Abstract

A flame-retardant seamless belt is formed by molding a thermoplastic composition containing a polyester thermoplastic elastomer as a main component thereof; at not less than 15 wt % nor more than 40 wt % of melamine cyanurate for a whole weight of the thermoplastic composition; and not less than 0.01 parts by weight nor more than three parts by weight of an anion-containing salt, shown by a chemical formula 1, for 100 parts by weight of an entire polymer component. The thermoplastic composition has a volume resistivity of not less than 1.0x10 Omega.cm nor more than 1.0x1012 Omega.cm. The flame-retardant seamless belt is used as an intermediate transfer belt (33) or the like for use in an image-forming apparatus such as a copying apparatus, a facsimile, a printer, and the like.
