## Abstract

Provided is a rubber composition for a sealant which can be vulcanized at low temperature and is suitable in a retentivity, an adhering property, followability and a fluidity and which is excellent in a sealing property, wherein the rubber composition is prepared by blending 100 parts by mass of a rubber component containing butyl rubber and/or EPDM, 2 to 10 parts by mass of zinc oxide, 1 to 5 parts by mass of a thiuram vulcanization accelerator, satisfying the thiuram vulcanization accelerator: the zinc oxide=1:1 to 1:3, and 150 parts by mass or more of liquid polybutene or a process oil.
