Dow has published a new landing page about its high-performance materials for sports equipment and recreation products. These advanced materials include liquid silicone rubber (LSR) for water sports and LED illumination. Liquid injection molding supports the use of LSRs in various colors and durometers with benefits that include reduced handling and increased throughput.
As growth in the EV industry accelerates toward a sustainable future, engineers need to meet multiple challenges. Silicone rubber is compatible with a wide range of materials used in EV manufacturing and combines thermal and electrical safety with proven performance. Check out this webinar recording to discover silicone rubber’s material compatibility, safety, and performance advantages in EV applications.
RDAbbott is hosting a free webinar about SILASTIC™ silicones for EVs on Thursday, December 5, 2024, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM (ET). Jake Steinbrecher, Technical Service & Development Scientist at Dow, will present silicone rubber’s material compatibility, safety, and performance advantages in EV applications, such as cables, busbars, battery components, and automotive lighting.
Optical silicones provide long-term stability, material flexibility, and proven processing performance. Due to their high-temperature properties, luminous flux, and resistance to weathering, these advanced silicone rubber materials are well-suited for a variety of LED lighting applications. By understanding the material performance needs in these and other lighting applications, Dow continues to expand its portfolio of moldable optical silicones and is developing innovative technologies, such as clear extrudable silicone rubber. In this webinar recording, three presenters from Dow describe innovative applications for optical silicones in both general and automotive LED lighting.

RDAbbott will supply Dow LSR to four liquid injection molding cells at NPE 2024, the plastics industry’s largest event. Two of these cells will also use pigments from NovationSi. This effort demonstrates our commitment to working with industry-leading supplier partners and providing top-notch technical support. RDAbbott also collaborates with manufacturers of injection molding machines, molds, and dosing systems.
Dow has published a case study that explains how its award-winning SILASTIC™ MS-4007 Moldable Silicone enabled award-winning emergency vehicle lighting. Dow’s two-part, heat-cured silicone resin is lighter than glass, resists yellowing better than plastic, and can withstand high heat and moisture while providing excellent light transmittance for optical clarity.
Dow has shared a technical presentation about how its optical silicones are advancing new LED applications in automotive lighting, sports stadium lighting, and UV drinking water purification systems. This information-rich resource examines the benefits of using SILASTIC™ Moldable Optical Silicones.
