【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、加硫可能なゴム組成物、さらに詳しくは特定のポリエン成分を含むエチレン共重合ゴムを含むゴム組成物に関し、いっそう詳しくは、変性ブチルゴムに比べ、加工性、強度、コストパフォーマンスに優れ、エチレン・α−オレフイン・非共役ポリエンランダム共重合体に比べ、耐気体透過性が改良された加硫可能なゴム組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ブチルゴムは、気体透過率が低く、パッキン、ガスケット等のシール部品に応用されている。ブチルゴムは、通常、イソブテンとイソプレンとの共重合体であって、耐熱老化性に優れる過酸化物加硫は困難であった。昨今、シール部品の耐熱老化性に対する要求の高まりの中、ジビニルベンゼン等を共重合し、過酸化物加硫可能な変性ブチルゴムが使われるようになってきた。しかし、この変性ブチルゴムは加工性、特にロール加工性に劣り、苦労して使用しているのが実態である。
一方、エチレン・α−オレフィン・非共役ポリエンランダム共重合体ゴムは、過酸化物加硫も可能で耐熱老化性に優れ、加工性も問題は無いが、気体透過性が高く、シール性能に劣るという問題点があった。
【0003】
この問題を解決する方法として特開平2−235951号明細書には、変性ブチルゴムとエチレン・プロピレン共重合体ゴムまたはエチレン・プロピレン・非共役ジエン三元共重合体ゴムとのブレンド物が開示されている。しかしながら、このような変性ブチルゴムとエチレン・プロピレン共重合体ゴムまたはエチレン・プロピレン・非共役ジエン三元共重合体ゴムとのブレンド物は加工性が改良されているものの、未だ満足に至るものではない。
このように、加工性、強度特性(共加硫性)、耐気体透過性、耐候性、耐オゾン性、および耐熱老化性に優れた加硫可能なゴム組成物はこれまで得られていない。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明者らは、加工性、強度特性(共加硫性)、耐気体透過性、耐候性、耐オゾン性、および耐熱老化性に優れた加硫可能なゴム組成物を得るべく鋭意研究し、エチレン、α−オレフィンおよび特定の非共役ポリエンからなるエチレン・α−オレフィン・非共役ポリエンランダム共重合体ゴムと、変性ブチルゴムと、有機過酸化物とを含む組成物を用いれば、上記特性に優れた加硫可能なゴム組成物が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0005】
すなわち、本発明の課題は前記のような問題点を解決しようとするものであって、加工性、強度特性(共加硫性)、耐気体透過性、耐候性、耐オゾン性、および耐熱老化性に優れた加硫可能なゴム組成物を提供することである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[Prior art]
Butyl rubber has a low gas permeability and is applied to seal parts such as packings and gaskets. Butyl rubber is usually a copolymer of isobutene and isoprene, and peroxide vulcanization with excellent heat aging resistance has been difficult. In recent years, with the increasing demand for heat aging resistance of sealing parts, modified butyl rubber that can be copolymerized with divinylbenzene and vulcanized with peroxide has been used. However, the modified butyl rubber is inferior in processability, particularly roll processability, and is actually used with difficulty.
On the other hand, ethylene / α-olefin / non-conjugated polyene random copolymer rubber is capable of peroxide vulcanization, has excellent heat aging resistance, and has no problem in workability, but has high gas permeability and poor sealing performance. There was a problem.

The inventors have found that an excellent vulcanizable rubber composition can be obtained, and have completed the present invention.
[0005]
That is, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, such as processability, strength characteristics (co-curability), gas permeability, weather resistance, ozone resistance, and heat aging.
