This webinar reviews practical rubber test methods and analytical techniques. Participants will learn how these techniques can be utilized and applied in material and compound development, as well as troubleshooting in production environments. Topics include: testing at temperature, dynamic testing, measuring sealing force over time, impact of shape factor, thermal stability analysis, incoming material verification […]
Managing technical staff requires competencies in technical and non-technical skills. Although a manager may have become a technical expert in a specialized area, they often have no formal training in management having attained the position by virtue of technical accomplishments. As a result, some managers excel in leading technical aspects of work (products, projects, processes...), […]

This webinar focuses on the benefit of gear pump extruders for rubber processing and their specific characteristics. A gear pump, due to its volumetric transport characteristics, is predestined for applications such as precise extrusion and high-pressure operations, as well as precise dosing applications. By combining different extruder technologies with a gear pump, it becomes a […]
This webinar is designed to be an introduction to the rubber industry for employees who have very little or no understanding of how rubber or plastic parts are manufactured and tested. It introduces some basic terminology used in the rubber and plastic industries. Several types of testing will be introduced, and practical examples will be […]
This webinar is designed for industry professionals wanting an “on-ramp” to the vast subject of managing the strength and durability of elastomeric materials and products. A technical background is helpful, but not required. This course will cover: What does failure really cost? Factors that limit rubber’s strength and endurance: - molecular and mesoscale origins - […]
