Discover the legacy of inventor Don Alstadt, explore the industries impacted by Chemlok technology, and access Parker Lord’s Chemlok® Adhesives Selector Guide to help identify bonding solutions for your next project.
Join Parker Lord for a free two-day training on Chemlok® rubber-to-substrate adhesives. This exclusive event takes place October 13 – 14, 2026, at Parker Lord’s facility in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Join us October 7 from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM (PT) in Buena Park, California, for a free Chemlok® application and troubleshooting seminar hosted by RDAbbott and Parker Lord. This is a terrific opportunity to learn about rubber-to-substrate bonding and how to troubleshoot bond failures.
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.
Craig Lustek, RDAbbott’s LSR Application Engineer, will co-present a liquid silicone rubber processing webinar with Sodick & Friends on July 15, 2026, at 1:00 PM (CST). This 1-hour session includes 30+ minutes of pre-recorded, in-cell training followed by a live Q&A session with presenters from across the silicone industry. Craig, along with the other featured presenters, will demonstrate a real-world fill study and explain how process parameters were selected, tested, adjusted, and validated to achieve a consistent, fully formed part.
