A roller for fixing and an image fixing apparatus using the roller for fixing that can prevent wrinkles from occurring on a roller surface. The roller for fixing includes at least an elastic layer on a core metal and includes a thermal conductive fluororubber latex layer containing a mixture of fluororubber, fluororesin and thermal conductive fillers more outer side than the elastic layer, wherein an intermediate layer made of silicone rubber having higher thermal conductivity than the thermal conductive fluororubber latex layer is provided between the thermal conductive fluororubber latex layer and the elastic layer, and the intermediate layer is configured so that an elastic parameter Y(=H.times.T) satisfies a relational expression: Y.gtoreq.4200 where H (degree) is Asker-C hardness of the silicone rubber having higher thermal conductivity (500 g load) and T (.mu.m) is a thickness of the silicone rubber having higher thermal conductivity.
