PRODUCTS & APPLICATIONS Rubber Bonding - Intro to Application 14 hours CEUs: 1.4 If your operations include or will include the bonding of rubber compounds to solid substrates (metals, plastics, etc.) and you want to learn about the chemistry, mechanics and overall methods for achieving and evaluating such bonds, this course will expose you to all those subjects and more. You will progress through learning the theories of bonding to detailed discussions of actual factory practices for consistent, durable bonds. The fi rst day of the course will cover: • the history and evolution of rubber bonding. • test methods for rubber bonds and their meaning. • how various bond chemistries work and interact with vulcanization chemistry. • examples of bonding studies. • specialized new bonding technologies. • basic troubleshooting the bonding process. The second day will progress into much more detailed examination of the nuts and bolts of: • the many varieties of available primers and adhesives. • selection of particular adhesives for both different types of elastomers and different molding methods. • a thorough examination of the kinds of surface preparations needed to optimize bond strength. • discussion of various application methods for adhesives and the required equipment. • more discussion of bond testing and evaluation. • analysis of poor or failed bonds and how it can lead to discovery of a robust bonding technique. Material Selection 4 hours or 8 hours CEUs: .4 or .8 We can review your existing part design or new product for robustness while suggesting alternate materials for cost reduction. We provide suggestions that will help you mold better arts, reduce scrap rates and ultimately lead to a less costly launch of a new product. Rubber Division, ACS training programs are learning events, and a certificate and CEUs are awarded to participants upon successful completion of the program. No test is given and participants are not certified. 16 RUBBER DIVISON, ACS EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
Haz Com Training with OSHA’s Globally Harmonized Standard (GHS) 8 hours CEUs: .8 The implementation of the GHS impacts virtually every employer in the U.S. It establishes new rules for hazardous chemicals in transportation, workplace use and consumer use. Key points of change include: • the replacement of Material Safety Data Sheets with Safety Data Sheets. • new hazard symbols or pictograms. • new labels and labeling requirements. • new standardized hazard classifi cations. • new universal 4 digit codes for identifying chemical information. OSHA began the switch to the GHS in Sept. 2006 to improve worker safety and health by increasing the quality and consistency of information provided to workers, employers and chemical users by adopting a standardized approach to hazard classifi cation. The government safety organization believes updating the HCS will result in the prevention of 318 non-lost-workday injuries and illnesses, 203 lost-workday injuries and illnesses, 64 chronic illnesses and 43 fatalities. The net benefi ts of the proposed rule are estimated to be $754 million annually. Preliminarily, estimates for the total annualized cost of compliance with the proposed rule are approximately $97 million. OSHA requires all employers to train employees on the new elements of the GHS, in addition to the previous requirements of the HCS standard. Laboratory Safety 2 hours CEUs: .2 This course will review the following: • personal protection equipment • machine safety-mills, mixers, presses, calendars • chemical handling-MSDS reviews-chemical disposal-labeling • tcsa right to know • ergomonics • general site safety Protecting Your Intellectual Property 4 hours CEUs: .4 Topic 1: Documenting Your Ideas What to document. Why document? How to document. How long to keep documentation. What not to document. Topic 2: Patent vs. Trade Secret – What’s the difference? What is a patent, how do you get one, what does a patent do (and not do) for you? What is a trade secret, how do you establish and protect one, what does a trade secret do (and not do) for you? How do you decide which is better? Topic 3: Protecting Technology From Off-Shore Misappropriation What legal procedures are available for protecting your technology in foreign countries? In addition (where appropriate legal mechanisms are unavailable or inadequate), what practical steps can be taken to protect your innovations and trade secret formulations, processes and know-how from misappropriation by low-cost, off-shore production partners or licensees? Topic 4: What About Contractors, Former Colleagues and Other Culprits? How to keep your technology from walking out the door with contractors or departing employees. Confl ict between former employers’ legitimately protectable trade secrets vs. former employees’ right to make a living using experience gained from previous jobs. Criminal theft of trade secrets (What to Do When the Wolf’s Already Been Through the Door). Who Should Attend? Business and technical people at various levels: CTOs; VPs or Managers of Engineering or R&D; Development, Design or Production Engineers; Chemists; Lab Personnel; Project Managers; Marketing and M&A Strategists; Sales Personnel; Supply Chain Personnel Rubber Recycling & Applications 7 hours CEUs: .7 The following topics will be covered: Basics of Recycled Rubber, Market Trends, Recycling Processes, Applications of Recycled Rubber, Testing, Cost Factors, Compounding with Recycled Rubber and Fire Hazard Prevention and Control in Recycled Rubber Processing, Storage and Applications. This seminar is designed for rubber recyclers, rubber recycling equipment managers, engineers, R&D and marketing personnel working in rubber recycling.
