RubberChem 2010<br />

<strong>Smithers</strong> <strong>Rapra</strong><br />
The global economic downturn had a vast impact on the rubber chemicals sector as many customers in the allied automotive,<br />
building and construction and industrial equipment fields saw their businesses badly hit. However, with the world economy now<br />
growing and consumer confidence improving, the demand for higher performance and superior durability of rubber articles is<br />
driving technical product developments and innovations in the use of chemicals in rubber compounds. With experts predicting<br />
that the less industrialised nations of China and India will lead the economic recovery, low-price competition from Asia is likely<br />
to continue to impact the European rubber chemicals market. Add to this the complications of the REACH regulations, which have<br />
required large-scale product reformulations and it is clear to see why there is a need for continued research and development to<br />
respond to new challenges.The seventh international conference devoted to rubber chemicals, compounding and mixing covered<br />
developments in a range of rubber chemicals from accelerators, antioxidants and antiozonants to retarders and peptisers. This<br />
event featured representatives from some of the world’s leading companies in the rubber chemicals arena, with papers from<br />
Lanxess, DSM Elastomers, Dow Corning GmbH, Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbH, Schill & Seilacher “Struktol” GmbH, and Trelleborg<br />

Silicone Elastomers 2011<br />
Silicone elastomers have a unique combination of properties not found with organic elastomers, such as stability over a very wide<br />
temperature range, good electrical properties and environmental resistance, no smell or taste, high biocompatibility, low softness<br />
without plasticizers, and high col<strong>our</strong>ability and transparency. Despite their relatively high cost, silicone elastomers are being<br />
increasingly used for applications where durability and safety in use are particularly important such as; automotive, electrical<br />
and electronic, domestic appliances, food processing, medical devices and baby bottle teats.These proceedings cover all the<br />
presentations from the conference which covered the whole range of silicone elastomer materials, including high temperature<br />
vulcanised (HTV), room temperature vulcanised (RTV) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR).<br />
