RDAbbott is proud to announce its partnership with M.R. Mold & Engineering in Booth 1346 at MD&M West in Anaheim, California, February 11 – 13, 2020, featuring a custom-designed plastic flying disc over-molded with 50-durometer Dow SILASTIC™ Low Temperature Cure (LTC) 9400 Series Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR).

Live at the 2019 International Elastomer Conference in Cleveland, Ohio, RDAbbott Product Manager Tim Royer, and German RepRap Sales Manager, highlight innovations in 3D printing from German RepRap using Dow SILASTIC™ 3D 3335 Liquid Silicone Rubber.

LORD® In-Mold Bonding (IMB™) liquid silicone rubber (LSR) adhesives are non-tacky polymer-based coatings that when applied to a substrate provide a structural bond to a rigid or elastomeric polymer, which is formed under heat and pressure. LORD IMB 3000 series adhesives are designed for bonding platinum-cured silicone rubber to a variety of thermoplastic and metal substrates during the injection molding process.

RDAbbott has hired Craig Lustek as their next application engineer. Craig has more than 20 years of experience in process engineering, research and development, product management and manufacturing with suppliers of elastomers and processing equipment.

RDAbbott is an organizer, sponsor and exhibitor for LSR 2019, the premiere event for liquid silicone rubber professionals. This year’s conference is scheduled for September 9-12, 2019, in Schaumburg, Illinois, and will include technical presentations, a new half-day workshop about LSR simulation at SIGMASOFT®, and a visit to equipment maker ARBURG to see silicone processing technologies. The keynote lecture is about design issues and will be followed by a panel discussion with silicone experts.

ProMed Molded Products is celebrating their 30th anniversary with an Open House from noon to 4:00 PM at their headquarters in Plymouth, Minnesota. This exclusive event, co-sponsored by RDAbbott, will feature an innovation tour, learning seminars, lunch and refreshments.

Join us at LSR 2019 September 9 – 12, 2019, at the Chicago Marriott Schaumburg in Schaumburg, Illinois. RDAbbott will be co-exhibiting with Dow to feature the latest advancements in silicone materials and technologies.

RDAbbott will demonstrate a revolutionary L280 LAM 3D printer in The Dow Chemical Company booth #1673 at RAPID + TCT 2019 in Detroit, Michigan, from May 20 to 23. Attendees seeking greater design possibilities, finer controls, and significantly faster times-to-market are invited to learn more.

We are looking forward to attending and presenting at BOY Machine’s Open House April 9 – 11 at their Exton, PA, facility.

Dow’s portfolio of liquid silicone rubber includes specific LSR formulations, marketed under the SILASTIC™, DOWSIL™, XIAMETER™ and EVOLV3D™ brands. Injection-molding grades, coating grades, a 3D printing grade, electrical grades and optical grades are available, as are LSR color masterbatches.
