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.
Starting January 29, RDAbbott launched its 2026 webinar series that will feature technical insights, material updates, and processing recommendations from our supplier partners throughout the year.
Join RDAbbott and Dow for an exclusive Lunch n’ Learn at RDAbbott’s Service Center in Barberton, Ohio, on March 24, 2026, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM (ET). This collaborative event brings together industry-leading experts and equipment partners from Sodick, Roembke, and Nexus to showcase the latest advancements in medical-grade silicone elastomers and processing technologies.
Dow has published an article in EV Design and Manufacturing that explains why silicones are instrumental in supporting EV battery performance and safety. Designers have a choice of thermal management and fire protection materials, but silicones combine thermal stability, high temperature resistance, and electrical insulation along with other critical characteristics.
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.
