A hydrogenated nitrite rubber composition for providing a cross-linked
product having a 20% modulus of 10 MPa or more and a thermal conductivity
of 0.4 W/mK or more at 25.degree. C. The hydrogenated nitrile rubber
composition includes 100 parts by weight of hydrogenated nitrile rubber
having a bound acrylonitrile content of 40% or more, a polymer Mooney
viscosity ML.sub.1+4 (100.degree. C.) of 75 or less (median) as
determined according to JIS K-6395, an iodine value of 23 or less
(median), and at least 110 parts by weight in sum total of carbon black
as a filler and other gas shielding filler. The hydrogenated nitrile
rubber composition can effectively be used as a molding material for
sliding applications or for a static sealing members for highly permeable
gases. The hydrogenated nitrile rubber composition has a distinguishing
carbon dioxide gas shieldability, heat resistance, and wear
characteristics.
