Midland, Michigan -- Dow Corning has named R.D. Abbott Company, Inc. to be a distributor for Xiameter rubber products. Customers will have the option of placing orders directly with R.D. Abbott or online.

R.D. Abbott has assembled a team of Dow Corning veterans well known to the rubber industry to support the Xiameter brand. The R.D. Abbott commercial and technical teams include veterans from other key industry suppliers such as Lord, Lanxess and TSE Industries to provide a broad range of technical backgrounds and expertise.
