TSE Industries has introduced Millathane® 26, a polyether-based millable polyurethane for food contact, industrial, and technical applications. This FDA compliant material meets 21 CFR 177.2600 requirements for repeated contact with wet and dry food. It combines superior durability with reliable performance and is available in both virgin bales and pre-milled sheets.
Join us on Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (ET) for a free webinar exploring how custom-engineered HCR formulations from Dow can help address demanding requirements for flame retardancy, thermal insulation, durability, and long-term performance. Through practical examples from the automotive/EV, aerospace, and energy industries, participants will gain insight into flame-retardant HCR compounds, silicone HCR foam technologies, and tailored solutions designed to solve complex engineering challenges.
Join The Los Angeles Rubber Group, Inc. (TLARGI) on Tuesday, October 13, for Oktoberfest 2026. This annual gathering combines a Technical Conference, Mini Expo, networking opportunities, and dinner meeting, bringing together professionals from across the Southern California rubber and polymer industries.
TSE Industries has published an article that explains how to mix its Millathane® millable polyurethanes. These strong and abrasion-resistant elastomers can be processed using conventional rubber equipment, but achieving consistent, high-quality results requires a controlled and well-structured approach to mixing.
Join RDAbbott at LSR 2026 in Akron this September and explore the full journey of liquid silicone rubber, from material selection through molding and production. With expert-led sessions, partner presentations, and a hands-on Open House experience, this year’s event connects every step from art to part.
Join us April 28 – 29, 2026, in Barberton, Ohio, for Organic Elastomers 360°, a multifaceted training event where you’ll learn how to examine the performance of organic elastomers from every angle. This hands-on event is hosted by RDAbbott in collaboration with Akron Rubber Development Laboratory (ARDL) and features expert contributions from companies across the rubber industry.
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.
Cancarb Limited has published a Technical Bulletin about how Thermax® N990 affects the properties of butyl seals for capacitors. Thermax® N990 is a non-reinforcing medium thermal carbon black that can replace parts of Thermax® N550, a medium-reinforcing product, in this application. Both products have excellent dispersion, but N990 requires less mixing power for a potential savings in electricity costs.
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.
TSE Industries has published an article about how its Millathane® millable polyurethanes are improving golf grips. These polymers combine the performance advantages of polyurethanes with the compounding flexibility of rubber. Golf grip manufacturers that include TSE’s millable polyurethanes in their compounds can strike the right balance between performance and comfort.
