The Panel Discussions at our annual LSR conferences are renown for their unique approach to sharing information, the depth of knowledge of presenters and attendees alike, and their broad coverage of industry topics. Time and again, conference attendees have said how much they've benefitted from them.
The two hour Panel Discussion at this year's LSR conference will cover the processing of liquid silicone rubber, a crucial topic for all companies and professionals in the industry. Rick Finnie, president of M.R. Mold & Engineering, has assembled the best silicone professionals to discuss various aspects of silicone processing, including best practices that will help your company achieve high levels of productivity and top quality products.
“Processing LSR can be a challenge," says Finnie. "Unfortunately, there aren't any textbooks to read or study. Most processors had to learn by 'on the job' training. Fortunately, we have found that some of the molding principles developed for the thermoplastics industry can be used for silicone. In this presentation, we will examine a case study where a mold is 'transferred' from another company. The part presents several challenges from geometry to gating issues. Each panelist will describe their approach to developing a process for this mold. Sample parts will be provided to the audience to show the issues the panelists discovered. Two different brands of silicone with the same durometer will be used to further demonstrate variations a processor is faced with each day.”
This year's panelists include:
Rick Finnie, M.R. Mold & Engineering
Juergen Giesow, Director of Technology, Arburg
Jeff Hazen, Technical Manager, GW Silicones
Robert Jovingo, LIMS Process Engineer, Shin-Etsu Silicone
Craig Lustek, Applications Engineer, R.D. Abbott
Bilal Rafiq, Applications Engineer, Simtec Silicone
This is an unmissable opportunity for any LSR professional - join us at LSR 2022 and learn from the best.
