摘要:
The invention provides a novel watertight rubbery sealing material, the water-swellability of which is hardly influenced by the compression of the material in a dry condition. The watertight sealing material is a shaped and vulcanized body of a water-swellable rubber composition comprising, in a limited proportion, (a) a chloroprene rubber, (b) a highly water-absorptive resin such as a crosslinked polyacrylic acid in the form of a sodium salt, (c) a rubber polymer unvulcanizable with a metal oxide-based vulcanizing agent and (d) a metal oxide-based vulcanizing agent which is preferably a combination of magnesium oxide and zinc oxide.
摘要:
The invention provides a novel water-swellable caulking material which is a composite body of stratified structure composed of at least one rubbery layer swellable in water comprising highly water absorbing resin dispersed in the matrix of a rubber and at least one rubbery layer which does not swell in water integrally bonded together, the latter layer serving to prevent the expansion of the former layer when swollen in water in the directions other than the direction perpendicular to the plane of the layers. The caulking material can exhibit an excellent water sealing effect with ease of handling in addition to a rapid water absorption by virtue of the structure thereof preventing the expansion of the material in the directions of length and width without decreasing the expansion in the direction of thickness.
