Abstract: A rubber composition capable of forming a conveyor belt. The rubber composition for a conveyor belt contains: rubber components including natural rubber and butadiene rubber; a vulcanizing agent; a vulcanization accelerator; carbon black; chlorinated paraffin; and antimony trioxide. A mass ratio of content of the natural rubber to content of the butadiene rubber (natural rubber content:butadiene rubber content) is 25:75 to 45:55.

Abstract: Provided is a rubber composition capable of forming a conveyor belt having an excellent low loss property, while also retaining high strength and high flame retardance as a rubber article. The rubber composition for a conveyor belt contains: rubber components including natural rubber and butadiene rubber; a vulcanizing agent; a vulcanization accelerator; carbon black; chlorinated paraffin; and antimony trioxide. A mass ratio of content of the natural rubber to content of the butadiene rubber (natural rubber content:butadiene rubber content) is 25:75 to 45:55.

Abstract: The light transmission hose included in the waterproof lighting apparatus according to the present invention is of a watertight structure, so it can easily be used as laid in or on water without any special protective means. Since the light source is installed in a location apart from water, it can be easily maintained and lamp replacement is also easy. By selecting a desired one of the kinds of light source, the illumination can be changed, resulting in a great effect of illumination. If provided with a powerful light source, the waterproof lighting apparatus according to the present invention can be used for warning any hazardous area to walkers, bicycle riders, car drivers, ships, aircraft and the like vehicles. Even if the lighting apparatus is located far away, the light from the light-emitting portion permits the walker or vehicle driver to readily be aware of a hazardous area.

Abstract: An optical waveguide hose includes a hollow tubular cladding, a fluid core in the cladding, the fluid having a higher index of refraction than the cladding, and sealing plugs mated with opposite end openings of the cladding. In one form, the core fluid is filled in the cladding under positive pressure. In another form, a sheath of a gas barrier material encloses the outer periphery of the cladding. The pressurized fluid core or the gas barrier sheath prevents air from penetrating into the core, allowing the hose to maintain its light transmission function.

Abstract: A conveyor belt having a cover layer is disclosed and a core layer. An adhesion-proofing agent is contained in the cover layer. The conveyor belt further has a migration-proofing layer provided between the cover layer and the core layer for preventing migration of the adhesion-proofing agent in the cover layer to the core layer.

Abstract: A rubber compound essentially for use in making conveyor belts on which tacky materials such as oil sands are transported without adhesion, comprising a base rubber such as acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers, urethane rubbers, acryl rubbers and blends of these rubbers with polybutadiene rubbers, styrene-butadiene rubbers and natural rubbers, and an organic carboxylate such as alkyl oleates and alkyl stearates.
