NovationSi, RDAbbott’s manufacturing subsidiary, is set to showcase its expertise in custom silicone color dispersions at MD&M West 2025. Partnering with industry leaders ARBURG and ACH Solution, NovationSi will supply a custom NovaSperse® colorant for ARBURG’s injection mold cell. Visit Booth 4229 to experience cutting-edge molding technology, witness the production of high-quality silicone parts, and learn how NovationSi and RDAbbott provide unmatched technical support to the silicone market.

Rick Ziebell, RDAbbott’s Vice President of Technology and Technical Fellow, will be an instructor for Silicone Elastomers Technology and Fabrication, an expert-led course from M.R. Toub Training, scheduled for January 28 – 31, 2025, from 8 AM to 5 PM (PT) each day. This university-accredited course will provide participants with continuing education credits from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

This informative webinar recording explores the regulatory and toxicological considerations impacting the use of silicone materials in today’s global market. It offers a comprehensive refresher on the European Chemicals Agency’s REACH program and its implications for liquid silicone and high consistency silicone rubber materials. It also covers upcoming global regulations that may affect silicones, from formulation to processing. As medical device applications evolve, staying ahead of these regulatory changes is essential. DuPont™ Liveo™ offers a versatile portfolio of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and high consistency rubber (HCR) materials designed to meet the stringent demands of this industry. Discover how regulatory changes may impact your silicone material choices and learn about solutions to stay compliant and innovative.

SILASTIC™ silicones from Dow combine mechanical and chemical properties that many organic polymers cannot match.

RDAbbott and NovationSi recently gave a group of Ohio middle schoolers a firsthand look at American manufacturing in action. On July 12th, approximately fifteen students from Barberton Middle School toured the 127,000+ sq. ft. facility in Barberton, Ohio, which is NovationSi’s headquarters and RDAbbott’s Northeast hub. The students learned how LSR and HCR differ, as well as how they’re made, tested, colored, and cured.

NovationSi, the manufacturing subsidiary for RDAbbott, has named Brian Swanton as Director of Process Engineering. Swanton holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technology University and has over 28 years of silicone experience, including extensive service with Dow and Dupont. Swanton holds multiple patents and has developed or scaled up at least forty products, which now represent a minimum of $100M in annual sales.
