“Breaking Barriers in Liquid Silicone Rubber: The Future of Custom LSR Compounding” Webinar by RDAbbott (September 4)
June 4, 2025
Join us on Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (ET) for a free webinar titled “Breaking Barriers in Liquid Silicone Rubber: The Future of Custom LSR Compounding.”
Brian Swanton, Director of Process Engineering for NovationSi, will present custom liquid silicone rubber (LSR) compounding and explain how customized LSRs can be tailored at the formulation level before injection molding begins.
This live event—part of RDAbbott’s 2025 Webinar Series—will feature technical insights and processing recommendations from NovationSi, RDAbbott’s manufacturing subsidiary and a leading provider of custom silicone solutions tailored to meet unique performance and processing requirements.
Register now for this free webinar. You’ll receive access to the live event, plus the recording and post-event resources.
Why You Should Attend
For decades, customizing small-volume LSR was limited to off-the-shelf durometers and third streaming during injection molding. Today, it’s possible to tailor custom LSRs at the formulation level. This unlocks possibilities for enhanced physical properties, improved processability, and performance-specific tuning.
During this free webinar, you’ll learn about the benefits and trade-offs of third streaming vs. pre-compounded solutions. You’ll also learn about designing custom LSR formulations to meet unique application demands and navigating the customization process, such as when to modify one vs. both components of a two-part system.
