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.

RDAbbott recently hosted a webinar titled “Polymer Modification Roadmap for Elastomers: Plasticizers and Maglite®.” This 59-minute presentation about Hallstar ester plasticizers and magnesium oxides was livestreamed on July 28, 2022.

RDAbbott is sharing a recording of their recent webinar titled “SILASTIC™ Fully Fluorinated Liquid Silicone Rubber: Properties, Processing, and Applications” This 41-minute presentation about F-LSR products from Dow was livestreamed on June 16, 2022.

Parker LORD has launched a web page that explains how its Chemlok® rubber-to-substrate bonding products are used in electric vehicles. This new resource includes an overview video, information about adhesives and coatings for weatherstripping and glass, information about dielectric coatings for battery packs, and explanations of how Chemlok® products are used in motor mounts and suspension parts.

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.

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.

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.

Rubber News recently published an article about Chemlok® 3Stream, a silicone additive from Parker LORD that enables self-bonding without primers or adhesives. This additive can significantly reduce manufacturing costs for HCR-bonded parts by eliminating the need to prime substrates before overmolding or compression molding.

3M has launched a new automotive-focused web page with detailed information, infographics, videos, and downloadable guides about its 3M™ Dyneon™ fluoroelastomers.

3M is sharing a white paper that compares the long-term compression stress relaxation (CSR) of hydrocarbon rubbers to FKM, a category of materials that include 3M™ Dyneon™ fluoroelastomers. All these materials were immersed in organic acid technology (OAT) coolant and in ethylene glycol coolant for 3000 hours.
