Learn how advanced filler technologies transform silicone elastomers from insulators into materials capable of static dissipation, ESD protection, and EMI shielding across a wide range of applications.

Parker has launched CHEMLOK® NX-100, a next-generation covercoat adhesive that bonds elastomers to substrates during vulcanization while supporting greater environmental sustainability and improved regulatory compliance. This new topcoat adhesive bonds NR, SBR, CR, and EPDM polymers to metals and other rigid substrates without the use of chlorinated solvents that raise EHS concerns.

Join us on Thursday, January 29, 2026, for a free technical webinar on Conductive Silicone Technology, presented by Steve Griffin, Director of Business Development at RDAbbott. Learn how advanced filler technologies transform silicone elastomers from insulators into materials capable of static dissipation, ESD protection, and EMI shielding across a wide range of applications.

On Thursday, October 23, 2025, RDAbbott hosted a webinar about Dow SILASTIC™ HCRs. During this 53-minute presentation, Jake Steinbrecher and Dave Armstrong of Dow explore how custom SILASTIC™ HCR silicone solutions can be engineered to solve real-world challenges—enabling safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting products.

RDAbbott is hosting a free webinar featuring Dow SILASTIC™ silicone HCRs on Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (ET). Jake Steinbrecher and Dave Armstrong of Dow Performance Silicones will be our presenters. Join us as we explore how custom SILASTIC™ HCR silicone solutions can be engineered to solve real-world challenges—enabling safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting products.

On Thursday, September 4, 2025, RDAbbott hosted a webinar titled “Breaking Barriers in Liquid Silicone Rubber: The Future of Custom LSR Compounding.” In this 45-minute presentation, Brian Swanton, Director of Process Engineering for NovationSi, explains how customized LSRs can be tailored at the formulation level before injection molding begins. NovationSi, RDAbbott’s manufacturing subsidiary, is a leader in custom silicone compounding.

Hallstar has developed a new line of polymeric plasticizers for fluoroelastomer (FKM) compounds, a class of high-performance materials that are challenging to plasticize because of their fluorinated backbones. Plasthall® P-920 and its dry version, Suprmix® Plasthall® P-20, act as processing aids and reduce viscosity with minimal impact on tensile properties. They enhance extrusion efficiency by lowering Mooney viscosity, which reduces torque and energy consumption.

Cancarb Limited recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its Food Contact Notification (FCN) for Thermax® N990CG, a drop-in replacement for Thermax® N990 with low levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

Join us on Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (ET) for this free webinar. Brian Swanton, Director of Process Engineering for NovationSi, will explain how customized LSRs can be tailored at the formulation level before injection molding begins.
