Abstract
To provide a fluorinated copolymer composition whereby a crosslinked rubber article which has a low compression set at high temperature and which is not broken after compression can be formed, and a crosslinked rubber article. The fluorinated copolymer composition of the present invention comprises a fluorinated copolymer (A) having units having a nitrile group and units based on tetrafluoroethylene, a fluorinated copolymer (B) having units having at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a group having a carbonyl group, a hydroxy group, an epoxy group and an isocyanate group and units based on tetrafluoroethylene, and a crosslinking agent.

A fluorinated copolymer composition, comprising:
- a fluorinated copolymer (A) which is a perfluoropolymer comprising units having a nitrile group, units based on tetrafluoroethylene, and units based on a perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether);
- a fluorinated copolymer (B), which is different from the fluorinated copolymer (A), comprising units having at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a carbonate group, a haloformyl group and an acid anhydride group, units based on tetrafluoroethylene, and units based on a perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether);
