What’s New

Here’s a glimpse into the LSR technologies and collaborative partnership on display in Zeiger Industries’ booth at NPE2018 to produce an automotive LED headlamp optic with Dow DOWSIL^® MS-4007 Moldable Silicone.

Check out this recent Technical Notebook article from Rubber and Plastics News, featuring TSE Industries, which highlights techniques and benefits for bonding Millable Polyurethane to general purpose rubber.

At a time when technical support is becoming tough to find, it’s good to know that 3M maintains state-of-the-art testing and analytical labs, pilot manufacturing facilities, and most important, an experienced staff of application engineers.

LORD Corporation has announced the creation of Chemlok^® CB, a one-component rubber-to-metal and rubber-to-rubber adhesive for bonding vulcanized substrates at room temperature. This REACH compliant adhesive has shown rubber tearing bonds to most formulations of chloroprene, neoprene, and chlorobutyl rubber. Applied like a contact adhesive but forming crosslinks between the rubber and substrate allows for ease of use while providing the bond strength needed for most applications.

Visit RDAbbott in booth 122 at the 2018 International Elastomer Conference October 9 – 11 in Louisville, Kentucky. We’ll be featuring innovations in 3D printing using Dow EVOLV3D™ LC-3335 Liquid Silicone Rubber as well as studies in optimal loadings of Cancarb Thermax^® N990 Thermal Carbon Black to enhance processability of TSE Industries’ Millathane^® Millable Polyurethane.

Come visit our booth to find out about new rubber products and innovations; meet with technical experts; and get caught up with friends and colleagues.

Come join us at the Energy Polymer Group Fall Technical Meeting on September 20 at the Marriott Plaza in San Antonio, Texas, and learn about the latest in material testing and atypical compounding.

For brighter, more energy-efficient, more unique and longer-lasting lighting systems, we highly recommend you take a look at Dow’s innovative, high-performance silicone materials for protection and assembly and secondary optics.

Based on ZEON Corporation’s recent announcement to discontinue their Nipol 1082 and 1082 V nitrile elastomers, we wanted share two potential NBR offsets from ARLANXEO: Krynac^® 33110 F and Krynac^® M 3340 F
