Parker LORD has launched a web page that explains how its Chemlok® rubber-to-substrate bonding products are used in electric vehicles. This new resource includes an overview video, information about adhesives and coatings for weatherstripping and glass, information about dielectric coatings for battery packs, and explanations of how Chemlok® products are used in motor mounts and suspension parts.

RDAbbott will educate TV audiences about the past, present, and future of the rubber industry in a five-minute documentary filmed by the Viewpoint Project and hosted by actor Dennis Quaid.

In this five-minute video documentary filmed by the Viewpoint Project, RDAbbott reviews the past, present, and future of the rubber industry. Starting May 2022, this documentary will start airing between longer-form programming on Public Television stations across the United States.

RDAbbott is sharing a recording of their recent webinar titled “Improving Self-Lubricating LSR in Sealing Applications with a Novel Third-Stream Additive.” This one-hour course about a new Dow liquid silicone rubber (LSR) product was livestreamed on October 19, 2021.

Self-lubricating LSR is the material of choice for electrical sealing applications in automotive applications. With constant changes in the industry, the performance requirements of this material becomes increasingly challenging and related material formulations constantly more complex. This discussion will give an overview on factors impacting sealing properties, propose a new additive to noticeably shift the thermal stability of a whole material family, and provide insights on how this new additive can stabilize the set of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.

In this video presentation, RDAbbott’s Special Projects Manager Tom Martin provides an overview of the technical services and elastomer products RDAbbott provides, as well as highlights a few new rubber technologies impacting the transportation industry.

On Wednesday, June 23, 2020, at 9:00 AM (ET) the Engineered Materials Group of Parker LORD is hosting a webinar to share how its weatherstrip coatings and flock adhesives can enhance passenger comfort in both electric vehicles and combustion engines.

Dow is spotlighting silicones as part of its new MobilityScience™ platform, an online resource for the automotive and transportation industries. This highly interactive platform explains how Dow Performance Silicones are driving innovation in e-mobility, connectivity, autonomous vehicles, safety, and light-weighting.

Advancements in rubber technology continue to push us to new heights and improve our daily lives. RDAbbott works with top-tier raw material suppliers such as Dow Corning, LORD, Cancarb, 3M, ARLANXEO, Rhein Chemie, Hallstar, and TSE to provide key technologies for tomorrow’s transportation.
