RDAbbott’s June 2026 Custom LSR Processing Training is a two-day, hands-on learning experience designed for processors, molders, and engineers looking to strengthen their Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) processing knowledge and optimize production performance. Hosted at RDAbbott’s LSR Application Center in Barberton, Ohio, this expert-led training will cover silicone fundamentals, injection molding machine setup, dosing systems, tooling considerations, and fill study analysis using industry-leading equipment and real-world processing applications.
On Thursday, September 4, 2025, RDAbbott hosted a webinar titled “Breaking Barriers in Liquid Silicone Rubber: The Future of Custom LSR Compounding.” In this 45-minute presentation, Brian Swanton, Director of Process Engineering for NovationSi, explains how customized LSRs can be tailored at the formulation level before injection molding begins. NovationSi, RDAbbott’s manufacturing subsidiary, is a leader in custom silicone compounding.
Join us on Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (ET) for this free webinar. Brian Swanton, Director of Process Engineering for NovationSi, will explain how customized LSRs can be tailored at the formulation level before injection molding begins. If you can’t make this live event, register anyway and we’ll send you the recording.
Join us August 26 – 28, 2025, in Barberton, Ohio, for “Manufacturing with Silicone Rubber,” a comprehensive workshop hosted by RDAbbott from a fabricator’s point-of-view. There’s also an optional training opportunity on August 29 for one-on-one discussions with instructors and deeper dives into process development.
Join us for the Detroit Rubber Group (DRG) Spring Technical Meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at Wacker Chemical Corporation’s North American Innovation Center & Regional Headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
