[0017] The content B of the reinforcing filler in the uncrosslinked rubber composition X' is preferably greater than the content C of the basic filler, from the viewpoint of obtaining excellent crosslinkability of the uncrosslinked rubber composition X' and reducing the compression set CS of the crosslinked rubber composition X that forms the sealing material. From the same viewpoint, the mass ratio of the reinforcing filler content B to the basic filler content C in the uncrosslinked rubber composition X' is preferably 4 to 50, more preferably 5 to 40, and even more preferably 10 to 25.

The crosslinking aid preferably contains one or more of these, and more preferably contains triallyl isocyanurate from the viewpoint of obtaining excellent crosslinkability of the uncrosslinked rubber composition X' and reducing the compression set CS of the crosslinked rubber composition X that forms the sealing material.
[0020] The content D of the crosslinking aid in the unvulcanized rubber composition is preferably 1 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 3 to 5 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of FKM, from the viewpoint of obtaining excellent crosslinkability of the unvulcanized rubber composition X' and reducing the compression set CS of the crosslinked rubber composition X forming the sealing material.
[0021] The unvulcanized rubber composition X' may contain, among other things, rubber components other than FKM, plasticizers, processing aids, vulcanization accelerators, antioxidants, surfactants, etc.
[0022] Based on JIS K6300-2:2001 of the unvulcanized rubber composition X', by the die vulcanization test A method using a torsional vibration type flat die vulcanization tester (for example, Curemeter (registered trademark) manufactured by ENEOS MATERIAL TRADING CO., LTD.), the time (t90) from the start of vulcanization until 90% of the maximum torque is obtained from the vulcanization curve obtained with the heating temperature (primary crosslinking temperature) of the unvulcanized rubber composition X' as the test temperature is preferably 7 minutes or less, more preferably 5 minutes or less, and still more preferably 3 minutes or less, from the viewpoint of obtaining excellent crosslinkability of the unvulcanized rubber composition X'.
[0023] The sealing material according to the embodiment can be produced by molding the unvulcanized rubber composition X' into the shape of a sealing material and heating and crosslinking it to obtain the rubber composition X.
[0024] Specifically, first, an uncrosslinked rubber composition X' is prepared by kneading using an open-type rubber kneader such as an open roll kneader, or a closed-type rubber kneader such as a kneader. Next, a predetermined amount of the uncrosslinked rubber composition X' is filled into a cavity shaped like a seal material in a preheated mold and the mold is clamped. In this state, primary crosslinking is performed by heating while maintaining a predetermined temperature and pressure for a predetermined time. This primary crosslinking may be performed by press molding or by injection molding. The primary crosslinking temperature is, for example, 150°C to 180°C. The primary crosslinking pressure is, for example, 0.1 MPa to 25 MPa. The primary crosslinking time is, for example, 3 minutes to 20 minutes. Then, the mold is opened and the seal material formed from the crosslinked rubber composition X is demolded and removed from the inside.
[0025] Alternatively, the sealing material of the molded product, after being demolded from the mold, may be placed in a preheated oven and heated at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time to induce secondary crosslinking. The secondary crosslinking temperature is higher than the primary crosslinking temperature, for example, between 190°C and 210°C. The secondary crosslinking time is longer than the primary crosslinking time, for example, between 3 hours and 5 hours.
[0026] Furthermore, post-crosslinking may be performed by irradiating the sealing material with radiation after primary or secondary crosslinking. In this case, examples of radiation include alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, electron beams, and ions. Of these, electron beams or gamma rays are preferred. The radiation dose is, for example, 20 kGy or more and 100 kGy or less.
[0027] The hardness HA of the rubber composition X forming the sealing material according to the embodiment is preferably A65 or more and A75 or less, more preferably A68 or more and A72 or less. This hardness HA is measured using a Type A durometer in accordance with JIS K6253-3:2012.
[0028] The tensile strength Tb at break of rubber composition X is preferably 15 MPa or more, more preferably 25 MPa or more. The elongation Eb at break is preferably 400% or more, more preferably 500% or more. The 100% modulus S100 (tensile stress at 100% elongation) is preferably 1.5 MPa or more and 3 MPa or less, more preferably 2 MPa or more and 2.5 MPa or less. These tensile strength Tb at break, elongation Eb at break, and 100% modulus S100 are measured by a tensile test based on JIS K6251:2023.
[0029] The compression set CS of the rubber composition X is preferably 30% or less, more preferably 20% or less, and even more preferably 15% or less. This compression set CS is measured according to JIS K6262:2013 with a test time of 72 hours and a test temperature of 200°C.
[0030] The sealing material according to the embodiment preferably has a surface color that is not black, such as beige, brown, or dark brown. [Examples]
