2. Description of the Related Art
Chlorine-containing rubbers are generally vulcanized and widely used in, for example, automobile parts, electrical parts, construction materials, and general industrial parts.
It is known in the art that the vulcanization of such chlorine-containing rubbers can be conducted by using a triazine derivative as the vulcanization agent (Japanese Pat. Publication (Kokoku) No. 48-36926 and 53-10099). Nevertheless, when a triazine derivative is formulated as the vulcanization agent according to the recipe known in the art, a drawback of storage stability arises wherein a lowering of, for example, the vulcanization rate, occurs and thus a problem arises in that the preparation of rubber products becomes difficult.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the objects of the present invention are to eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and to provide a vulcanizable composition of a chlorine-containing rubber, capable of providing a vulcanized product having excellent properties such as strength, heat-resistance, and aging, having an excellent storage stability and free from problems such as a lowering of the vulcanizability.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
According to the first aspect of the present invention, as a vulcanization agent, a triazine in the form of an amine salt having the above formula (I) is used, and according to the second aspect of the present invention, an aromatic or aliphatic carboxylic acid amine salt having the above formulae (III) to (IV) or a phenolamine salt (V) as a vulcanization aid, together with a triazine having the above formula (II) as a vulcanization agent for a chlorine-containing rubber is used.
In the first aspect of the present invention, since the triazine compound is formulated in the form of a stable amine salt, the storage stability of the rubber composition becomes excellent and the above-mentioned problem, i.e., the decrease in vulcanizability after a long period of storage, does not arise. Furthermore, since the amine salts are stable powder particles, the handling thereof is advantageously very easy in the formulation step. Furthermore, depending upon the applications thereof, the vulcanization can be widely varied by selecting the types of amines to be combined with the triazine compound.
In the second aspect of the present invention, by using a triazine and a specific vulcanization aid in combination, a lowering of the vulcanization rate can be effectively inhibited, and the storage stability of the rubber composition can be properly maintained, as shown in the Examples described below.
The reason why the lowering of the vulcanization rate is thus inhibited and the storage stability of the rubber composition is properly maintained is not yet clear, but it may be considered that, in the combination of a triazine and a vulcanization aid as described above, both exist in a stable state in the rubber composition, and thus can act effectively as the vulcanization agent and the vulcanization aid, respectively.
Since the amine salt to be used as the vulcanization aid in the present invention is a stable powder, another advantage is gained in that the handling in the formulation step is very easy.
Further, according to the present invention, by using a vulcanization aid obtained by selecting the kind of the amine to be combined with the carboxylic acid or phenol in accordance with the use, etc., thereof, the vulcanization rate can be varied over a wide range.

An ethylene-1-butene copolymer (ethylene content 92 mol%, Mooney viscosity ML.sub.1+4 (100.degree. C.) 21, 100g) was dissolved in 4 liters of carbon tetrachloride, and was subjected to chlorination reaction for 65 minutes, by introducing chlorine gas at a rate of 2.0 g/min. into the reaction vessel, while maintaining the temperature of a 6-liter glass reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer at 60.degree. C. and a thermometer by irradiation of a 20W daylight fluorescent lamp from outside of the vessel. Then, nitrogen gas was passed through the reaction vessel to remove excess chlorine gas.
Next, a large excess of methanol was added to the solution to precipitate the chlorinated rubber, and the precipitate was filtered and then dried at room temperature under a reduced pressure.
The chlorine content in the chlorinated ethylene1-butene copolymer rubber thus prepared was measured by the bomb combustion method, and found to be 27% by weight, and the Mooney viscosity ML.sub.1+4 (100.degree. C.) was found to be 56.

EXAMPLE 2--1
A chlorinated ethylene-1-butene copolymer rubber was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1--1.
Vulcanizing aids were prepared as follows.
To a solution of 12.2 g (0.1 mol) of benzoic acid dissolved in 100 ml of acetone, 8.5 g (0.1 mol) of piperidine was added dropwise. The crystals precipitated were filtered, and then dried, and benzoic acid piperidine salt (molar ratio 1:1) of white crystals was obtained in an amount of 18.6 g (yield 89.9%).
Similarly, to a solution of 12.2 g (0.1 mol) of benzoic acid dissolved in 100 ml of acetone, 17.7 g (0.1 mol) of dicyclohexylamine was added dropwise. The crystals precipitated were filtered and then dried, and Benzoic acid dicyclohexylamine salt (molar ratio 1:1) of white crystals was obtained in an amount of 26.2 g (yield 90.0%).
Next, various formulating agents were formulated in the following proportions.

In carrying out the formulation, first the chlorinated ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer rubber, stearic acid, magnesia, FEF carbon, and the process oil were kneaded in a 4.3-liter Banbury mixer (OCC Model, produced by Kobe Seikosho) for 6 minutes and allowed to stand under room temperature for one day. The vulcanization agent was then added to the kneaded product on 14 inch open rolls. The roll surface temperatures at this time were 60.degree. C. for the front roll and 70.degree. C. for the rear roll, with the rotational numbers being 16 rpm for the front roll and 18 rpm for the rear roll.
The formulated rubber was formed into a sheet and allowed to stand at room temperature for one hour, and the vulcanization curve at 160.degree. C. was then obtained by an oscillating disc rheometer produced by Toyo Seiki (vulcanization curve A).
Next, to determine the storage stability of the compound, the formulated rubber sheet was left to stand in an air oven controlled at 40.degree. C. for 96 hours, and one hour after the temperature of the sheet returned to room temperature, the vulcanization curve at 160.degree. C. was again obtained (vulcanization curve B). The results are shown in FIG. 5.
