An automobile weatherstripping includes an extrusion-formed part and a mold-formed part, the mold-formed part being welded and integrated with the extrusion-formed part. The extrusion-formed part is made of an olefin elastomer and the mold-formed part is made of a resin composition containing an olefin resin, ethylene-&agr;-olefin copolymer rubber, hydrogenated aromatic vinyl conjugated diene compounds block copolymer mineral oil and at least one of natural rubber and butadiene rubber in predetermined proportions. The extrusion-formed part and the mold-formed part have a sufficient level of bonding strength with no bonding agent layer being used therebetween.

Devulcanized rubber in which sulfuric crosslinking bonds are cut and which contains carbon black particles having very small diameters. Vulcanized rubber of discarded products is devulcanized by heating it at a temperature of 180.degree. C. --350.degree. C. and applying a shearing pressure of 10-150 kg/cm.sup.2 thereto. Reclaimed rubber products are manufactured by vulcanizing and molding, into desired shapes, a material made of only devulcanized rubber in which sulfuric crosslinking bonds are cut and which contains carbon black particles having very small diameters or a material made of the devulcanized rubber mixed with virgin unvulcanized rubber.

A rubber layer structure provided with a first rubber layer having a first liquid facing surface for contact with a liquid surface and a second rubber layer in contact with a second surface of the first rubber layer. The first rubber layer is formed of a peroxide vulcanization first rubber compound which mainly comprises EPDM, contains sulfur powder as a co-crosslinking agent and does not contain a zinc compound. The second rubber layer is formed of a sulfur vulcanization second rubber compound which mainly comprises EPDM and contains a zinc compound. The first rubber layer and the second rubber layer are adhered together by vulcanization.

A layered molding and method for making the same which has excellent anti-permeability to gasoline. The layered molding is defined by a fluoroplastic or polyamide plastic and an epichlorohydrin rubber. The fluoroplastic is a copolymer formed from at least two precursors selected from the group consisting of hexafluoropropylene, tetrafluoroethylene, and vinylidene fluoride, which are selected within a plotted range to preferably form a binary or tertiary composition. The epiclorohydrin rubber contains organic phosphonium. The resulting molding layer does not require an adhesive agent.

Layered molding

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a composite material made of a rubber and a clay mineral dispersed uniformly therein. The method proceeds exchanging inorganic ions of the clay mineral with organic onium ions to organize the clay mineral; mixing the organized clay mineral and a process oil and/or a plasticizer; and mixing the rubber material with the mixture of the organized clay mineral and the process oil and/or the plasticizer. Process oil and/or plasticizer are intercalated into the organized clay mineral. As a result, the interlayer distance of the clay mineral is enlarged. The most favorable mode of the present invention is for a barrier material against water, gas and the like and for a rubber material required for an improved mechanical property.

An ethylene propylene rubber blend containing an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin-diene copolymer as the rubber component of the blend. The ethylene-.alpha.-olefin-diene copolymer has a propylene content of about 43% to about 51% by weight, an iodine value of about 33 to about 39, a Mooney viscosity (ML.sub.1+4 100.degree. C.) of about 34 to about 44, and a molecular weight distribution (M.sub.W /M.sub.N) of about 5 or less. The ethylene propylene rubber blend can be used, for example, for formulating articles such as hoses, and in particular brake hoses. At least an inner tube provided inside the hose is preferably formed of the ethylene propylene rubber blend. The ethylene propylene rubber blends have a modulus of elasticity not significantly dependent upon temperature and are excellent in compression set and processability.

A fuel absorbent is provided in which polymer particles having a fuel absorbing ability are contained or dispersed in a binder matrix permeable to fuel. The fuel permeates the binder and is absorbed by the polymer particles. A process is provided for making the fuel absorbent by mixing polymer particles having fuel absorbing ability with a binder dissolved in a solvent, to thereby obtain a dispersion mixture having the polymer particles dispersed therein. The dispersion mixture is then dried to cause the polymer particles to be dispersed in a matrix of the binder. The fuel absorbent has excellent durability and fuel absorbing/desorbing ability.
