An acrylic rubber comprised of a copolymer comprising 0.1 to 20% by weight of (A) units of a butenedioic acid monoester monomer having an alicyclic structure and 50 to 99.9% by weight of (B) units of at least one kind of monomer selected from acrylic acid ester monomers and methacrylic acid ester monomers. A crosslinkable acrylic rubber composition comprising the acrylic rubber and a crosslinking agent, especially a polyamine crosslinking agent, has good process-stability and good shapability and gives a shaped article having high heat resistance and exhibiting reduced permanent set.

Shaped article composed of an acrylic rubber composition

An acrylic rubber composition comprising a carboxyl group-containing acrylic rubber (A) comprising 0.1 to 30% by weight of structural units derived from methacrylonitrile, and a polyamine crosslinking agent (B) and a monoamine compound (C); wherein the amount of each of the crosslinking agents (B) and the monoamine compound (C) is in the range of 0.05 to 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the acrylic rubber (A). This acrylic rubber composition is free from sticking to a metal at kneading and exhibits good resistance to scorch during being processed, and gives a crosslinked product having good heat resistance, good cold resistance and good resistance to deteriorated oil.
