| abstract |
A rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a rubber component which comprises at least one type of rubber selected from the group consisting of natural rubber and diene synthetic rubbers, 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of at least one type of metal dithiophosphate represented by the following general formula, optionally 15 to 85 parts by weight of a reinforcing inorganic filler, and optionally a specific tertiary amine compound in an amount of 0.5 to 15% by weight of the amount of the reinforcing inorganic filler is provided. General formula wherein R1 and R3 each independently represents an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group, M represents an antimony atom, a zinc atom, a copper atom, or an iron atom, and n represents a valency of M. The rubber composition of the present invention exhibits excellent resistance to heat or resistance to heat aging (particularly excellent resistance to hardening and excellent fracture properties). |
