Rubber composition for inner-liner joint strip, and pneumatic tire

Abstract

A rubber composition for an inner-liner joint strip is capable of improving green strength and adhesion, while maintaining good durability (oxidative degradation resistance, crack growth resistance) and good air retention properties, which are exhibited by a pneumatic tire formed from the composition. The rubber composition for an inner-liner joint strip, includes: a butyl rubber; silica and/or carbon black; and an alkylphenol-sulfur chloride condensate represented by formula (1) below, wherein a butyl rubber content is 60 to 100 mass % based on 100 mass % of the rubber component of the rubber composition, a total combined amount of the silica and the carbon black is 21 to 70 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, and an amount of the alkylphenol-sulfur chloride condensate is 0.1 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component.
