Rubber Division ACS 

Dear Colleagues, 

It’s been a few years since 

we’ve been in Pittsburgh, PA 

and we’re pleased to be back 

for the Rubber Expo ‘05, fall

hotel for the week is the 

Westin Convention Center. 

This year’s events promise to 

make this meeting one of our 

best ever! We’ve added to and 

improved our programming 

and events to meet the industry’s 

ever changing needs. Our 

commitment is to give 

“Value” to rubber manufacturers, 

suppliers, end 

users and academia. Be 

sure to make time to visit the 

Rubber Expo ‘05 show floor to 

see the over 300 exhibitors. 

We’re also having, in partnership 

with the RMA, a new 

Rubber Business Summit: 

Solutions for Today’s 

Business Environment - a 

completely business issues 

focused programming track, as 

well as 2 new education courses 

and two standing favorites. 

As always, the fall 168th 

Technical Meeting will deliver 

relevant and timely content 


with over 105 papers on 

Elastomers for Under-the- 

Hood Applications; Business 

Colloquium: Globalization & 

Outsourcing Trends - Impact 

on the U.S. Rubber Industry; 

Health, Environmental & Safety 

Challenges in the Rubber 

Industry & Rubber Recycling, 

New Commercial 

Developments, Polyurethanes 

and much more! 

On Wednesday, be sure to 

visit the graduate and undergraduate 

students who will be 

giving their paper and poster 

presentations during the 2nd 

Student Colloquium. And 

also say hello to the local 

Pittsburgh area high school science

will be touring the show floor 

to learn about the rubber 

industry and the different 

opportunities it offers. 

As you can see there are so 

many new and exciting things 

happening - be sure to take

The North American Automotive Battleground: 

Winning Strategies for Suppliers 

Glenn Mercer, of McKinsey & Company, will lead a talk on the overall state of the 

automotive industry, which he sees as in a time of paradox. Overall market volume growth 

is weak, but market revenue growth is strong.Transaction prices are climbing with discounts 

and rebates at all time highs. Some manufacturers see immense profit pressures while 

others are making money at record levels. Suppliers have reached levels of scale and 

responsibility, yet many still remain profitless or near bankruptcy. 

Mercer’s talk will clarify these paradoxes and analyze the overall situation (rather than 

providing specific market forecasts) so that attendees should leave being better informed 

regarding resource allocation decisions. 

4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. 

Innovative Thinking: High Performance Teams 

Jonathan Vehar, of New & Improved, will lead a discussion on innovation and how 

to develop High Performance Teams within your company. Vehar will focus on the fundamental 

barriers to innovation and provide techniques for breaking through them with the 

science of creative thinking. He will show that when companies harness the power of 

both creative thinking and innovation, breakthrough results will occur. 

During this session, you will learn tools and techniques to: create growth, turn out 

more options, generate a wider range of alternatives, evaluate and build on new ideas, 

improve your ability to work with others and generate breakthrough solutions.

have an impact on the rubber-product business sector. His 

presentation will include issue experts from the staff of the 

RMA who will be able to translate what costs and/or benefits 

exist as a result of such potential legislation. Business 

managers, environmental compliance experts, and plant 

operators will not want to miss this informative update on 

the most current regulatory issues for the industry. 

3:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. 

Vehicle End of Life Legislation 

Claudia Duranceau, Sr. Research Engineer, Ford 

Motor Co., will cover the cooperative nature of the 

Vehicle Recycling Partnership and provide an overview of 

the USCAR/VRP Substances of Concern Committee. She 

will also present a summary of the many different aspects 

of End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) legislation and how OEMs and 

Tier I suppliers are complying, the impact it’s having on 

companies working with them and a list of people to contact 

with questions.This presentation is of particular interest 

to anyone who has to meet OEM requirements, enter 

data into IMDS, redo testing for resubmission of parts 

without some of the substances of concern, or has 

GADSL substances in their parts.

Learning 

about a new 

product is one 

thing. Witnessing 

dramatic results from it is 

quite another. QDI is something 

more than new. It's dramatically better. 

Consider the opportunity to eliminate 1-2 passes 

in a multi-pass operation. Mix NR compounds up to 25% faster. 

Achieve better viscosity reduction than controlled compounds, 

and compounds mixed with peptizers. Reduce heat build up by 

5-10%. Reduce mixing costs up to 25%. 

We're going to change the way you look 

at traditional mixing. Call Dr. Fred 

(330-668-8346) and challenge us to 

prove QDI in your mixing application. 

Mix faster, smarter, better. With QDI.

Tools of the 

(insert your industry here) 

trade. 

Process oils are a critical component in many products. Tufflo ® has stood for quality in the world of process oils for generations. 

But a great reputation and valuable experience aren't the only things we have under our belts. CITGO markets naphthenic 

and paraffinic process oils along with food-grade and technical-grade white oils which can also be key components in your 

products. No other major oil company matches our comprehensive line of process oils. Whether your needs 

are for low or high viscosity, low pour or special solvency, CITGO has the right tools. 

For applications ranging from rubber, adhesives, chemicals, plastics and coatings to textiles, paper and 

packaging, CITGO Tufflo oils are the right choice. Call 281-296-6407 and talk to Mark Buck 

about the tools you'll need to get the job done – CITGO Tufflo Process Oils.
