RDAbbott Canada, Ltd. will showcase materials and technologies for the mining industry at the CIM Convention & Expo in Vancouver, Canada, in Booth #1705 this spring.

Join us on Thursday, April 28, 2022, from 2:00 – 3:00 PM (ET) for a free webinar about Cancarb Thermax N990, the largest particle size, lowest structure thermal carbon black on the market. In this presentation, you’ll learn how replacing some furnace black with Thermax N990 can lead to improvements in mixing and processing while maintaining physical properties.

RDAbbott will exhibit at the 2022 Spring Technical Meeting of the Rubber Division, ACS, a division of the American Chemical Society. This year’s event is scheduled for April 26 through April 28 at the Marriott Cleveland East in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, near the popular Beachwood area.

At this live event, ARLANXEO North American Technical Manager Dr. Victor Nasreddine will describe the properties, applications, and advantages of Baypren® CR polymers for molded and extruded products such as belts, roll covers, and reinforced hoses.

In this webinar, Alpha Technologies Engineers John Dick and Richard Hanzlik will discuss the application of Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA) test methods to help identify root causes of common processing and compounding problems.

In this webinar, Hallstar Senior Chemist Erica Anderson, will explain the science behind monomeric and polymeric plasticizers, as well as how they function in different elastomers. This webinar will explore the structure-property relationships between a wide range of plasticizer chemistries and cover Hallstar’s selection for desired performance enhancements and elastomer applications. Moreover, it will provide specific case studies showing the advantage plasticizers bring to different polymer formulations.

Starting March 2022, RDAbbott will be launching a webinar series featuring technical insights, processing recommendations, and products from many of our supplier partners.

Rick Ziebell, RDAbbott’s Vice President of Technology and Technical Fellow, will be an instructor for Silicone Elastomers Technology and Fabrication, an in-person course from M.R. Toub Training, scheduled for April 5 to 8, 2022. This university-accredited course will provide participants with 3.2 continuing education credits from California Polytechnic State University.

On Wednesday, March 2 at 9:00 AM (ET) Parker LORD is hosting a live webinar covering key areas where Chemlok® technology is used and how you can implement them to enhance your EV solutions.
