  • Publication number: 20080107905
    Abstract: A rubber laminate comprised of a cross-linked rubber layer containing a carboxyl-group containing nitrile copolymer rubber (A), a carboxyl-group containing acryl-based polymer (B), and a specific phosphonium salt and a fluorine-based polymer layer. Preferably, the carboxyl-group content per 100 grams of the (A) ingredient is 2×10?3 to 1×10?1 equivalents and the carboxyl-group content per 100 grams of the (B) ingredient is 4×l0?4 to 1×10?1 equivalents, the (A) ingredient and (B) ingredient are in a weight ratio of 40:60 to 90:10, and the phosphonium salt content in the cross-linked rubber layer is 0.5 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total of the (A) ingredient and (B) ingredient. According to the present invention, there is provided a rubber laminate excellent in oil resistance and gasoline permeation resistance plus tensile strength, low compression set, and other mechanical characteristics, ozone resistance, and interlayer adhesion.

  • Patent number: 7232862
    Abstract: A rubber composition includes ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated nitrile-conjugated diene copolymer rubber (A), ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated nitrile-conjugated diene copolymer rubber (B), ethylene-?-olefin copolymer rubber (C), and a graft copolymer (D). The graft copolymer (D) is obtained by performing graft copolymerization on a mixture of an aromatic vinyl compound and an ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated nitrite monomer with an ethylene-propylene-unconjugated copolymer. A content of structure units of the ethylene-propylene-unconjugated copolymer is 20 to 70 wt %, a ratio of the graft copolymer (D) with respect to 100 parts by weight in total of said rubber (A), rubber (B) and rubber (C) is 1 to 30 parts by weight. A composition ratio of the rubber (A), rubber (B) and rubber (C) is rubber (A): 20 to 79 wt %, rubber (B): 1 to 30 wt %, and rubber (C): 20 to 50 wt %.
