TLARGI will be hosting its annual Technical Conference, Oktoberfest, and Mini Expo on Tuesday, October 4, at the Alta Vista Country Club in Placentia, California. If you’re able to attend, be sure to swing by our table for some fun treats and to hear about latest material advancements and technologies available from RDAbbott and our valued supplier partners.

Join ARLANXEO and RDAbbott on Friday, September 30, 2022, from 2:00 – 3:00 PM (ET) for “Sustainability: New Mobility Trends and Rubber in a Circular Economy,” a free webinar about environmental sustainability, the rubber value chain, and vehicle electrification. Peter Spanos, Senior Technical Manager from ARLANXEO, will examine industry challenges and explain how Keltan® Eco EPDM is part of the solution.

Plan to join RDAbbott at LSR 2022, the premiere conference about liquid silicone rubber (LSR), in Irvine, California, from September 13 – 15. RDAbbott is an organizer, co-sponsor, and co-exhibitor for this event, which will include technical presentations by RDAbbott and two of our supplier partners: Dow and DuPont. RDAbbott will also moderate a panel discussion about LSR processing and interact with attendees in its shared exhibit space with Dow.

Join us August 22 – 25 in Ohio for “Manufacturing with Silicone Rubber,” a comprehensive workshop hosted by RDAbbott from a fabricator’s point-of-view. Attendees of this four-day workshop will learn practical techniques and insights, along with equipment troubleshooting tips for processing silicone rubber, from industry professionals through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on evaluation.

Join us on Thursday, July 28, 2022, from 2:00 – 3:00 PM (ET) for a free webinar about Hallstar ester plasticizers and magnesium oxides. In this webinar, Hallstar experts from both its technical and commercial teams will present a deep-dive into plasticizer selection and demonstrate how their high-quality magnesium oxides make it the leading brand for critical elastomer applications.

Global regulations, tire labeling, strict OE requirements, vehicle electrification, and customer expectations are driving advancements in tire applications. In this webinar, you’ll learn about material requirements vital for next-generation tire treads and recent product developments that address them. You’ll also learn how these product developments can be extended to non-tire applications, such as belting, anti-vibration bushings, roll covers, and rubber tracks which include blends with other elastomers like NR, SBR, CR and NBR.

Taking advantage of the strengths of both liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and fluorosilicone technologies, Dow has a range of fully fluorinated LSRs that can provide desirable process efficiencies of LSR to be integrated with the fluid resistance performance capabilities of a fluorosilicone. This live webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the unique properties, ease of processing, and key applications for Dow’s SILASTIC™ Fluoro Liquid Silicone Rubber (F-LSR) products.

RDAbbott will exhibit, deliver a technical presentation, and provide the closing address at Rubber News’ 2022 International Silicone Conference. The conference is scheduled for May 10 and 11 at the Sheraton Suites Akron in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

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.
