SUMMARY:Course: Introduction to Compounding\, Mixing & Testing
DESCRIPTION:November 12\, 2026; 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. ET \nCEUs: 0.76 (To receive the CEUs\, attendees must attend the course live and promptly complete the survey evaluation after the course.) \nLocation: This course is available virtually only. It can be taken from the comfort of your home or office – remotely from any tablet\, laptop or computer. \nCourse Overview: This course provides a practical overview of elastomer compounding and processing. Topics include elastomers\, fillers\, oils and plasticizers and curing agents. Participants will also explore the mixing\, processing and testing of elastomer compounds along with key considerations when selecting an elastomer for a specific application. \nThe mixing portion of the course covers several important topics related to internal mixers and the parameters that influence rubber mixing. The course begins with a brief history of mixing equipment including both mill mixers and internal mixers along with the different procedures used in each mixing process. Participants will also review the various methods used to process mixed compounds into finished parts. \nThe course concludes with real world examples of common problems encountered in rubber compounding and mixing. These case studies will examine what caused the issues and how they were successfully resolved in the field. \nLearning Objectives \n\nGain an overview of the practical aspects of elastomer compounding\n• Learn key considerations when selecting elastomers for specific applications\n• Understand the fundamentals of rubber mixing equipment and mixing parameters\n• Explore processing methods used to convert compounds into finished parts\n• Engage in discussion and one on one dialogue beyond general class content\n• Leverage the experience of instructors and fellow participants as a technical resource\n• Receive references and contacts for future technical questions and continued learning\n\nPrice: $695 Member / $795 Non-member / Free for Undergraduate Student Members / $100 for Other Student Members \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nInstructor: William Stahl \nBio: William Stahl retired in March of 2023 after 45 years in the rubber industry. His main focus was in the compounding and applications for fluoroelastomer polymers. He has taught several courses for Rubber Division\, ACS. He is currently a consultant for WMS Technologies\, LLC (Norton\, Ohio).
