Abstract

A flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization, comprising an epichlorohydrin based rubber (A), red phosphorus (B), and a vulcanizing agent (C), in which the content of the red phosphorus (B) is from 3 to 20 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the epichlorohydrin based rubber (A).

Claims (14)

1. A flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization, comprising an epichlorohydrin based rubber (A), red phosphorus (B), and a vulcanizing agent (C), in which the content of the red phosphorus (B) is from 3 to 20 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the epichlorohydrin based rubber (A), and wherein the amount of epichlorohydrin based rubber is 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of total rubber present in the composition.

2. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 1 further comprising an inorganic metal compound (D).

3. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 2 , wherein the inorganic metal compound (D) is one species, or a mixture of two or more species, selected from the group consisting of metal hydroxides, and metal oxides.

4. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 2 , wherein the inorganic metal compound (D) is one species, or a mixture of two or more species, selected from the group consisting of aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, molybdenum oxide, and zirconium oxide.

5. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 2 , wherein the inorganic metal compound (D) is contained in an amount of 5 to 50 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the epichlorohydrin based rubber (A).

6. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 2 , wherein the total amount of flame retarders including the red phosphorus (B) and the inorganic metal compound (D) is less than 30 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the epichlorohydrin based rubber (A).

7. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 2 , wherein the epichlorohydrin based rubber (A) is at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of epichlorohydrin homopolymer, epichlorohydrin/ethylene oxide copolymer, epichlorohydrin / allyl glycidyl ether copolymer, and epichlorohydrin/ethylene oxide/allyl glycidyl ether terpolymer.

8. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 2 , wherein the vulcanizing agent (C) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of polyamines, thioureas, thiadiazoles, mercaptotriazines, pyrazines, quinoxalines, organic peroxides, sulfur, morpholine polysulfides, and thiuram polysulfides.

9. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 2 , wherein the vulcanizing agent (C) is at least one compound selected from 2-mercaptoimidazoline (ethylene thiourea), 6-methylquinoxaline-2,3-dithiocarbonate, and 2,4,6-trimercapto-1,3,5-triazine.

10. A rubber member, obtained by vulcanizing the flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization recited in claim 2 .

11. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 1 wherein the epichlorohydrin based rubber (A) is at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of epichlorohydrin homopolymer, epichlorohydrin / ethylene oxide copolymer, epichlorohydrin / allyl glycidyl ether copolymer, and epichlorohydrin / ethylene oxide / allyl glycidyl ether terpolymer.

12. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 1 wherein the vulcanizing agent (C) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of polyamines, thioureas, thiadiazoles, mercaptotriazines, pyrazines, quinoxalines, organic peroxides, sulfur, morpholine polysulfides, and thiuram polysulfides.

13. The flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization according to claim 1 wherein the vulcanizing agent (C) is at least one compound selected from 2-mercaptoimidazoline (ethylene thiourea), 6-methylquinoxaline-2,3-dithiocarbonate, and 2,4,6-trimercapto-1,3,5-triazine.

14. A rubber member, obtained by vulcanizing the flame-retardant rubber composition for vulcanization recited in claim 1 .
