An object of the present invention is to provide a lubricating oil composition that is particularly excellent in viscosity characteristics at a low temperature of −35° C., i.e., the lubricating oil composition inhibiting an increase in low temperature viscosity while securing a viscosity necessary at an elevated temperature, and being excellent in storage stability in a low temperature environment. The present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition including a copolymer (A) and a base oil (B), in which the copolymer (A) satisfies the following requirement (a-1), and the content ratio between the copolymer (A) and the base oil (B) is such that the copolymer (A) is in a range of 0.1 to 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass in total of the copolymer (A) and the base oil (B). (a-1) The copolymer (A) is a copolymer of 4-methyl-1-pentene and an α-olefin having 20 or less carbon atoms excluding 4-methyl-1-pentene, including a constituent unit derived from 4-methyl-1-pentene within a range of 1 mol % or more and less than 30 mol % relative to the total constituent units.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain an ethylene&#x22c5;&#x3b1;-olefin&#x22c5;non-conjugated polyene copolymer that has a low permanent compression set at low temperatures, is flexible, and has an excellent balance of rubber elasticity at low temperatures and tensile strength at normal temperatures. This ethylene-based polymer is an ethylene&#x22c5;&#x3b1;-olefin&#x22c5;non-conjugated polyene copolymer that includes units derived from ethylene (A), units derived from an &#x3b1;-olefin (B) containing 4-20 carbon atoms, and units derived from a non-conjugated polyene (C) and satisfies (1)-(4). (1) The molar ratio of (A) to (B) is 40/60-90/10, (2) the contained amount of the units derived from (C) is 0.1-6.0 mol %, (3) ML125&#xb0; C. is 5-100, and (4) the B value is 1.20 or more.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain an ethylene.&#x3b1;-olefin.non-conjugated polyene copolymer that has a low permanent compression set at low temperatures, is flexible, and has an excellent balance of rubber elasticity at low temperatures and tensile strength at normal temperatures. This ethylene-based polymer is an ethylene.&#x3b1;-olefin.non-conjugated polyene copolymer that includes units derived from ethylene (A), units derived from an &#x3b1;-olefin (B) containing 4-20 carbon atoms, and units derived from a non-conjugated polyene (C) and satisfies (1)-(4). (1) The molar ratio of (A) to (B) is 40/60-90/10, (2) the contained amount of the units derived from (C) is 0.1-6.0 mol %, (3) ML125&#xb0; C. is 5-100, and (4) the B value is 1.20 or more.

A railroad rail track pad composition including a particular ethylene&#xb7;&#x3b1;-olefin&#xb7;non-conjugated polyene random copolymer (A), clay (B), and a sulfur atom-containing silane coupling agent (C) is used in order to lower the viscosity of a rubber composition that is a raw material for molding while suppressing lowering of the rubber elasticity of a crosslinked and molded product to be obtained. In addition, a molded product obtained by crosslinking the composition, particularly a molded product obtained by crosslinking and foam-molding the composition, is provided with rubber elasticity that is suitable as a railroad rail track pad.

[Object] To provide an excellent foaming agent which does not have problems in handling and operation (example: risk of explosion or fire) and inhibition of cross-linking resulting from a foaming agent and problems, such as, mold pollution and environmental pollution, caused by a foaming agent residue, which has excellent uniform dispersibility in a subject of foaming, and which can be used as an alternative to the chemical decomposition type foaming agent. [Solution] A foaming agent formed from at least (A) a high molecular weight compound having a saturated water absorption of 10 to 1,000 g/g in ion-exchanged water (25&#xb0; C.) and (B) water, wherein a storage modulus (G') of the agent, determined on the basis of a viscoelasticity measurement at a temperature of 20&#xb0; C., is 8.0&#xd7;10to 1.0&#xd7;10Pa at a frequency of 5 rad/s.
