March 29 – Communications Webinar: What Is My Value & How Do I Talk About It?

Featured courses include on March 15 – The Fatigue Limit of Rubber: This course will introduce industry professionals to the concept of fatigue threshold in elastomers and how to use this material parameter to develop highly durable rubber products. A technical background is recommended.

March 22 – Compounding Fluoroelastomers: Fluoroelastomers are a class of synthetic elastomers that exhibit exceptional heat and fluids resistance when compared to other ‘hydrocarbon’ elastomers. Fluoroelastomers are used where other elastomers will not work. This course will give participants a good understanding of fluoroelastomers, properties and usage.
