Join RDAbbott and Dow for an exclusive Lunch n’ Learn at RDAbbott’s Service Center in Barberton, Ohio, on November 6, 2025, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM (ET). This collaborative event brings together industry-leading experts and equipment partners to showcase the latest advancements in medical-grade silicone elastomers and processing technologies.

Join us on Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (ET) for this free webinar. This online event will feature new DuPont™ Liveo™ Class VI (C6) low-viscosity liquid silicone rubber (LSR) formulations for intricate, injection-molded healthcare components. We’re pleased to welcome Dr. Leanna Foster, R&D Scientist with DuPont Liveo™ Healthcare Solutions, as our presenter.

For decades, customizing small-volume LSR was limited to off-the-shelf durometers and third streaming during injection molding. Today, it’s possible to tailor custom LSRs at the formulation level. This unlocks possibilities for enhanced physical properties, improved processability, and performance-specific tuning. During this free webinar, you’ll learn about the benefits and trade-offs of third streaming vs. pre-compounded solutions. You’ll also learn about designing custom LSR formulations to meet unique application demands and navigating the customization process, such as when to modify one vs. both components of a two-part system.
