Abstract

This invention provides a release agent consisting of a blend of non-poly(alkylene oxide)-functionalized poly(organosiloxane) fluid and poly(alkylene oxide)-functionalized poly(organosiloxane) fluid and an antioxidant which when used at elevated temperatures does not separate into two phases and does not cause an objectionable odor, or pump failure. The release agent is particularly suited for application to a fuser member for fusing toner images to a receiver.
