A lubricant molded body, which is to be applied to a surface of a
photosensitive layer for electrophotography in an image forming
apparatus, for example, is composed of at least two kinds of higher fatty
acid metallic salts having respectively different carbon numbers. As the
higher fatty acid metallic salt that forms lubricant molded body,
compounds such as zinc stearate, calcium stearate, barium stearate,
aluminum stearate, zinc laurate, calcium laurate, etc. may be recited.
The higher fatty acid metallic salts may contain at least one kind of
fillers selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, tungsten
disulfide, molybdenum disulfide, graphite fluoride, graphite, boron
nitride, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ethylene tetrafluoroethylene
(ETFE), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
