Optically clear LSRs webinar hosted by R.D. Abbott

Cerritos, CA – On Tuesday, August 24, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET), R.D. Abbott will host a free webinar called “Optically Clear LSRs: A How-to Guide.” This event will provide an in-depth look at how optically clear LSRs from Dow are molded into functional parts with unique properties.

In this live webinar, Jake Steinbrecher, a technical service and development scientist with Dow, will cover these topics: The benefits of using moldable optical silicones in lighting applications; the ability of optically clear LSRs to withstand rigorous conditions; how optical silicones are processed differently than standard LSRs; and technical details, optical terms and how uncured materials become functioning parts.

Steinbrecher is a globally recognized technical lead in the fields of moldable optical silicones and silicone injection molding. His current focus is developing applications for moldable optical silicones in the automotive and mobility markets, and providing direct support to silicone fabricators.

Steinbrecher has been a technical service and development engineer at Dow since 2010. Prior to joining Dow, Steinbrecher worked as an engineer in the heavy equipment industry. He graduated from Michigan Technological University with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 2008.
