RDAbbott will be exhibiting at MD&M Midwest 2026, the Midwest’s leading advanced manufacturing and MedTech event. Visit us in Booth 2421 to explore healthcare elastomer solutions, connect with our technical experts, and discuss materials and technologies for medical devices, biopharma processing, wound care, and implantable applications.
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.
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.
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.
Cancarb Limited has published a Technical Bulletin that shows how formulating EPDM sponge rubber compounds with Thermax® N990 reduces mixing power consumption and improves elongation while maintaining physical properties and achieving an excellent surface finish.
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-920, 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).
Hallstar is promoting renewable and readily available alternatives to trimellitate esters, chemical compounds that are used as plasticizers in rubber and PVC. Formulators who use these offsets can match the performance of synthetic trimellitate esters while strengthening their supply chains, reducing regulatory pressures, and advancing their environmental sustainability goals.
