PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a rubber composition for obtaining rubber products with high mechanical strength and excellent dynamic mechanical properties, and to provide a simple method for producing the rubber composition. SOLUTION: The rubber composition is obtained by coagulating with an acid or salt a compounded latex comprising an epoxidized natural rubber with an epoxidation rate of preferably 3-70 mol% and water-glass. This rubber composition thus obtained contains preferably 1-50 pt(s).wt., in terms of SiO<SB>2</SB>, of a silicic acid component(silica) formed from the water-glass, based on 100 pts.wt. of the epoxidized natural rubber. Thereby, this rubber composition can be molded into rubber products with high mechanical strength and excellent dynamic mechanical properties. Furthermore, the gas permeability of these rubber products can be markedly reduced as well. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
