RDAbbott recently entered into an agreement with LORD Corporation, a recognized leader in highly reliable adhesives and coatings, to distribute LORD® In-Mold Bonding (IMB™) Adhesives in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

RDAbbott is a full-service supplier that’s stocked with premium healthcare elastomers, such as: Dow Corning silicones, ARLANXEO synthetic polyisobutylenes, KRATON synthetic polyisoprenes and TSE polyurethanes.

Are you post-curing your silicone out of habit or necessity? Advances in silicone elastomer technology enable some manufacturers to eliminate this costly step for the first time. For example, a new liquid silicone rubber is the only one that exhibits the same physical profile before and after post-curing. This could potentially make post-curing unnecessary even in industries with strict regulatory requirements.
