To provide a rubber composition and a
conveyor belt which can adjust the
vulcanization rate in an appropriate range while achieving both excellent abrasion resistance and
flame retardancy and have excellent processability.SOLUTION: There are provided: a rubber composition comprising a
diene-based rubber containing a
natural rubber and a butadiene rubber, a
flame retardant containing chlorinated paraffin and
antimony trioxide,
carbon black,
sulfur and a
vulcanization accelerator including a
sulfenamide-based
vulcanization accelerator and a
guanidine-based vulcanization accelerator, wherein the content of
natural rubber in the total amount of the
diene-based rubber is 20 to 50
mass%, the content of the butadiene-based rubber is 50 to 80
mass%, the content of the chlorinated paraffin is 20 to 35 pts.
mass based on 100 pts.mass of the
diene-based rubber, the content of the
antimony trioxide is 5 to 12 pts.mass, the
mass ratio of (the total content of the
sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator and the
guanidine-based vulcanization accelerator) / (the content of the
sulfur) is 1.00 or more and the
mass ratio of (the content of the
guanidine-based vulcanization accelerator) / (the content of the
sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator) is 0.20 to 0.60; and a
conveyor belt produced using the rubber composition.SELECTED DRAWING: None
