#RubberScience Vulcanisation forms a stable three-dimensional network of polymer molecules by attaching adjacent molecules to each other through the formation of cross-links. Sulfur is the most commonly used cross-linking agent employed in rubber compounds.

CTO Thorsten Dreier just returned from an inspiring visit to our team in Thailand! During his stay he was honored to appear as a special guest at the Townhall and took a tour through our plants. Thank you to the entire team for the warm welcome and for showcasing your efforts. 👏
#RubberScience When blending different polymers, aim for similar viscosities to avoid a lumpy “pea soup” effect. Poor compatibility can result in uncured phases within vulcanised products, which may lead to delamination and failure.

Soyuz (and presumably Shenzhou?) use gamma ray backscatter altimetry to fire their landing jets. So does Chang'e-6:
"To prevent interference to optical sensors by lunar dust during landing, the lander [has] gamma-ray sensors to accurately measure height through particle rays"
In the workplace and beyond, our colleagues are coming together to celebrate.
We take pride in who we are as individuals and as one team, #TeamDow. It’s the element that bonds us.
We wish you the same connection and celebration. Happy #Pride! #DowProud
