The present invention provides a non-drying sealer composition which does not substantially swell or shrink non-polar vulcanized rubber products. The non-drying sealer composition is suitable for sealing a gap between a sheet-metal flange and the inside of a trim part by charging the composition into the trim part of the weatherstrip for an automobile. The non-drying sealer composition comprises liquid rubber as a sealer base, a tackifier and a thixotropic agent as auxiliary materials, and a non-volatile softener (including a plasticizer) as a dispersing medium. As the non-volatile softer, a shrinking component is used alone or in combination with a swelling component. Thus the swelling action of the sealer composition against the non-polar vulcanized rubber product reaches within about &plusmn;5% in terms of the degree of swelling.

Non-drying sealer composition

A sealing member for a short-wavelength light emitting element comprises a main agent and a curing agent. The main agent comprises a first component of an alicyclic epoxy produced by hydrogenating an aromatic epoxy, preferably a bisphenol A epoxy, and a second component of an alicyclic epoxy having a lower molecular weight than the first component. The mixing amount of the second component is not less than 10% by weight and less than 30% by weight based on the main agent.

Light emitting apparatus

The sealant composition disclosed herein is favorable for sealing car parts. The sealant composition is charged inside the trim of a weather strip of a car so as to seal the gap between the trim and the plate flange as inserted inside the trim. The sealant composition comprises a liquid rubber as the base component, a tackifier and a thixotropy promoter as secondary components, and a nonvolatile plasticizer and/or a process oil as the dispersion medium.
