Parker LORD recently hosted a webinar on “Adhesion Improvement Primer for Vulcanized Natural Rubber.” We wanted to make sure you have access to this technically rich presentation.

As we have seen in our industry’s history, many formulations created decades ago contain ingredients that are no longer available. The same is now true with Chemlok® from Parker LORD.

RDAbbott has named David Lalancette as Account Manager for Quebec and the Canadian maritime provinces. Lalancette has more than 20 years of experience in technical sales and account management. As Account Manager for RDAbbott Canada, Ltd., Lalancette is responsible for technical sales and managing customer support.

Parker-LORD Corporation recently launched a new series of cold-bond adhesives for belt and conveyor repairs: Chemlok® CB203 Belt Repair Adhesive and Chemlok® CB102CS Adhesion Enhancer/Surface Modifier.

RDAbbott has hired Lincoln Gilmour as its Canada Sales and Business Manager. Lincoln brings more than 20 years of experience in sales leadership, business development and product management in both the adhesives and coatings markets.

RDAbbott has signed a new distribution agreement with LORD Corporation to expand its distribution of LORD adhesives and coatings to Canada. This new agreement will be facilitated and managed locally by RDAbbott’s newly established division, RDAbbott Canada, Ltd., based out of Burlington, Ontario, in the Greater Toronto Area.

RDAbbott is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and is certainly not losing any steam. Rather, RDAbbott is accelerating into an elastomer company that innovates across distribution, manufacturing and applied science with premium products, comprehensive testing laboratories and strategically-located warehouses. But the company’s most prized asset continues to be its people—who help to bring connections, contributions and commitment to the rubber industry at large.

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.

Due to the concerns expressed by the rubber industry and related stakeholders, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has been working with RDAbbott to modify rule 1168 to allow the use of solvent-based Chemlok within the District.
