Abstract
Abstract A rubber composition for dust cover boots comprising a copolymer rubber composed of 10 to 60 mole % of epichlorohydrin, 30 to 90 mole % of propylene oxide or both propylene oxide and ethylene oxide with the propylene oxide/ethylene oxide mole ratio being at least 1, and 0 to 15 mole % of an unsaturated epoxide, and a vulcanization agent for the copolymer rubber.
