The present invention lies in a
flame-retardant rubber composition comprising, as essential components, a
synthetic rubber (a component A), a
flame-retardant (a component B),
sulfur (a component C) and a polyfunctional
monomer la component D), wherein an amount of the component B is 10 to 200 parts by masse an amount of the component C is 0.1 to 15 parts by
mass and an amount of the component D is 3 to 30 parts by
mass, all relative to 100 parts by
mass of the component A. It is a technical task of the present invention to provide a
flame-retardant rubber composition which has excellent flame retardancy and can give a fully satisfactory
mechanical strength (particularly, tensile strength at break) even when subjected to steam cure generally regarded to be difficult to impart a strength.
