As growth in the EV industry accelerates toward a sustainable future, engineers need to meet multiple challenges. Silicone rubber is compatible with a wide range of materials used in EV manufacturing and combines thermal and electrical safety with proven performance. Check out this webinar recording to discover silicone rubber’s material compatibility, safety, and performance advantages in EV applications.
This informative webinar recording explores the regulatory and toxicological considerations impacting the use of silicone materials in today’s global market. It offers a comprehensive refresher on the European Chemicals Agency’s REACH program and its implications for liquid silicone and high consistency silicone rubber materials. It also covers upcoming global regulations that may affect silicones, from formulation to processing. As medical device applications evolve, staying ahead of these regulatory changes is essential. DuPont™ Liveo™ offers a versatile portfolio of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and high consistency rubber (HCR) materials designed to meet the stringent demands of this industry. Discover how regulatory changes may impact your silicone material choices and learn about solutions to stay compliant and innovative.
RDAbbott is hosting a free webinar about SILASTIC™ silicones for EVs on Thursday, December 5, 2024, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM (ET). Jake Steinbrecher, Technical Service & Development Scientist at Dow, will present silicone rubber’s material compatibility, safety, and performance advantages in EV applications, such as cables, busbars, battery components, and automotive lighting.

Due to its large particle size and low structure, Cancarb’s Thermax® N990 is an ideal choice for applications that require strong dynamic properties, such as bushings, engine mounts, bump stops, and other NVH components. Check out this webinar recording to discover how Thermax® N990 medium thermal carbon black stacks up against other types of carbon black.
RDAbbott’s Cristina DiFranco will present “Elastomer-to-Metal Adhesion: Best Practices for Adhesive Mixing and Application” at the Quebec Rubber Group’s Technical-Commercial Dinner on October 24, 2024. The focus is Chemlok® rubber-to-substrate vulcanizing adhesives, and the content will be similar to previous events that RDAbbott has hosted in collaboration with Parker Lord.
On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM, RDAbbott is hosting a free technical seminar at the Wyndham Garden Edmonton Airport Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta, featuring Chemlok® rubber-to-substrate adhesives from Parker Lord. During this in-person event, Parker Lord Technical Field Service Engineer JR Nordstrom will review the rubber-to-substrate bonding process from start to finish. This review will include proper substrate preparation, adhesive preparation and application techniques, coated part handling, and molding best practices. The training will then transition into a troubleshooting workshop where failed parts are studied for bond failures and preventative actions.
Cancarb Limited has earned its third Platinum Sustainability Rating from EcoVadis, a global provider of corporate and environmental scorecards. The maker of Thermax® medium thermal carbon black also received EcoVadis’ highest rating in 2021 and 2023. Cancarb uses waste heat from its energy-efficient operations to help power its community and has developed a low-PAH product to address environmental health and safety concerns.
Join us in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for LSR 2024 from October 13 – 15 to discuss technological and scientific developments in LSR and explore its countless industry applications. LSR 2024 will kick off with a welcome reception on Sunday evening. It will continue with two days of technical presentations on Monday and Tuesday, including a panel discussion about advances in silicone materials, and an exhibitor area to connect with other attendees.
Join us on Thursday, October 3, 2024, from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (ET) for a free webinar about the dynamic property advantages of Cancarb Thermax® N990 in rubber compounding. Due to its large particle size and low structure, compared to other types of carbon black, Thermax® N990 is an ideal choice for applications that require strong dynamic properties, such as bushings, engine mounts, bump stops, and other NVH components.
