Provided herein is a protective rubber track shoe for an excavator, which includes a first-stage rubber mix and a second-stage rubber mix. The first-stage rubber mix consists of a natural rubber, a chloroprene rubber, a butadiene rubber, a styrene-butadiene rubber, a tire reclaim rubber, a 120-mesh rubber powder, zinc oxide, stearic acid, an anti-aging agent 3100, an anti-aging agent CTU, paraffin wax, an intermediate super abrasion furnace carbon black and an aromatic oil. The second-stage rubber mix consists of the first-stage rubber mix, sulfur, an accelerator CZ and an auxiliary agent.

An article is not pneumatic tyre for a motor vehicle and the article's use are that is suitable as at least a part of a pressurizable container or pipeline. The article includes a first side that is, in use, configured to be exposed to a first environment and a second side that is, in use, configured to be exposed to a second environment. At least a part of the article includes rubber-based material that is configured to restrict fluid permeability and that includes lignin that has been treated by hydrothermal carbonization. The rubber-based material or a coating of the rubber-based material forms at least a part of the first side, and the first side is, in use, configured to be exposed to a higher pressure than the second side. A method is for manufacturing the article.

To provide a rubber composition excellent in elasticity and low loss property.

A rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a chloroprene rubber and from 1.2 to 3.0 parts by weight of cellulose nanofibers, characterized in that a vulcanized sheet obtained by vulcanizing the rubber composition has a 100% tensile stress (M100) increased by 1.5 MPa or more per part by weight of the cellulose nanofibers added, where the increase of M100 is calculated by subtracting M100 of a vulcanized sheet containing no cellulose nanofibers from M100 of the vulcanized sheet containing the cellulose nanofibers, and dividing the difference by the amount of the cellulose nanofibers contained.
