To provide a tube for an image forming apparatus that can achieve both durability and prevention of the occurrence of electrostatic offset.SOLUTION: A tube for an image forming apparatus comprises a laminate including at least a conductive layer and an insulating layer constituting an outer peripheral surface. The conductive layer is formed of a fluororesin composition containing carbon black in an amount of 10 mass% or less; the insulating layer is formed of a fluororesin composition; the Martens hardness of the insulating layer is 50 N/mmor less.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】耐久性と静電オフセットの発生の抑制とを両立できる画像形成装置用チューブを提供する。【解決手段】少なくとも、導電層と、外表面を構成している絶縁層と備える積層体からなる画像形成装置用チューブであって、前記導電層は、カーボンブラックを１０質量％以下含有するフッ素系樹脂組成物により形成されており、前記絶縁層は、フッ素系樹脂組成物により形成されており、前記絶縁層のマルテンス硬さが５０Ｎ／ｍｍ2以下である、画像形成装置用チューブ。【選択図】なし
