Abstract

An ethylene-propylene rubber composition vulcanizable with sulfur in which the rubber component totally or mainly composed of EPDM is incorporated with a zinc oxide, a carbon black, and other ingredients. The EPDM has an iodine value of 20 to 35 and an active zinc oxide is incorporated therein as the zinc oxide in an amount of 1 to 10 PHR. Even with a sulfur vulcanization system, this ethylene-propylene rubber composition is permitted to have compression set resistance equivalent to that of conventional SBR and is improved in heat resistance as well.
