FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a crosslinkable fluororubber composition which can yield a crosslinked rubber article, e.g., sealing material. A composition containing fluororubber and a compound of formula: (X-)x(Z-)zY, is crosslinked to form a crosslinked rubber article. In said formula, X denotes: U-(CF2)aO(CF2CF2O)b-, Z denotes: RFO(CF2CF2O)c-, Y denotes a (x+z) valent perfluoro saturated hydrocarbon group or a group having an ether oxygen atom embedded between carbon atoms thereof, x is an integer of at least 3, z is an integer of at least 0 and x+z is an integer of at least 3, U denotes a monovalent group having at least one element selected from a group consisting of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, a bromine atom and an iodine atom, RF denotes a C1-20 linear perfluoroalkyl group or a group having an ether oxygen atom embedded between carbon atoms thereof, a is an integer from 0 to 20, b is an integer from 1 to 200 and c is an integer from 3 to 200.
EFFECT: crosslinked rubber article has excellent flexibility at low temperature.
