UWM SILICONE ELASTOMERS COURSE ANOTHER HUGE SUCCESS!

40 industry professionals from all facets of the industry attended the Silicone Elastomers and Fabrication course in Anaheim this past February.  Mel Toub, formerly of Momentive Silicones, spoke on the chemistry of silicone and all the significant properties that have been developed to meet the industry's needs.  Bob Pelletier of Elmet explained the functions of a pumping unit and its importance in LSR.  Rick Finnie of M.R. Mold taught the class on the differences between building a silicone and plastic injection mold and the importance of picking a moldmaker who knows the difference.  Stefan Scheibner of Arburg explained the functions of a molding machine in relationship to LSR and what options are needed to be ordered.  John Timmerman of Starlim North America completed the circle with his segment on processing.
