An oil-resistant rubber composition comprising 98 to 50 parts by weight of (1) a partially hydrogenated unsaturated nitrile/conjugated diene copolymer rubber in which at least 50% of units derived from the conjugated diene are hydrogenated, and 2 to 50 parts by weight of (2) a liquid copolymer having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 10,000 obtained by copolymerizing 10 to 80% by weight of a conjugated diene, 10 to 70% by weight of an unsaturated nitrile and 0 to 20% by weight of a vinyl monomer copolymerizable with these monomers, the total amount of the components (1) and (2) being 100 parts by weight.

Oil-resistant rubber composition

A rubber composition co-vulcanizable with a sulfur cure system, said composition comprising

Co-vulcanizable rubber composition

A rubber composition comprising (1) a partially hydrogenated copolymer rubber composed of 10 to 50% by weight of an acrylonitrile unit, 25 to 88% by weight of a hydrogenated conjugated diene unit and 2 to 25% by weight of a conjugated diene unit, and (2) a sulfur vulcanizer system. The composition can give vulcanizates having improved ozone cracking resistance and oil resistance.

Rubber composition capable of giving vulcanizates having improved ozone

An oil-resistant rubber composition comprising a mixture of (1) a partially hydrogenated elastomer from an unsaturated nitrile monomer and a conjugated diene monomer wherein the degree of hydrogenation of the conjugated diene units is 50 to 98 mole %, and (2) a vinyl chloride resin.

A vulcanizable rubber composition composed of 100 parts by weight of a terpolymer rubber (A) composed of 35 to 80 mole % of epichlorohydrin, 15 to 50 mole % of ethylene oxide and 5 to 15 mole % of an unsaturated epoxide, 0.2 to 10 parts by weight of a non-sulfur vulcanizing agent, and 0 to 10 parts by weight of a vulcanization aid. A vulcanized rubber prepared from this composition has superior sour gasoline resistance (softening resistance and resistance to embrittlement) and cold resistance. A rubber mixture (B) of an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer rubber and an epichlorohydrin-unsaturated epoxide copolymer rubber containing 35 to 80 mole % of epichlorohydrin, 15 to 50 mole % of ethylene oxide and 5 to 15 mole % of an unsaturated epoxide may be substituted for the terpolymer rubber (A).

Vulcanizable rubber composition

A rubber composition for use as a cover of rubber pipes or hoses, comprising a terpolymer rubber composed of 35 to 80 mole% of epichlorohydrin, 15 to 50 mole% of ethylene oxide and 5 to 15 mole% of an unsaturated epoxide, and a di- or tri-mercapto-s-triazine as a vulcanization agent.
