Albany Engineered Composites will display<br />
Pyropel polyimide insulation products for use<br />
insulating molding equipment and tooling. Pyropel<br />
MD-18 is a tough lightweight material that<br />
can be easily applied to the perimeter of mold<br />
and dies reducing heat loss. The benefits of this<br />
type of insulation are improved temperature<br />
uniformity, faster start up and energy savings<br />
resulting in increased product quality and lower<br />
operating cost. Pyropel MD-60 is a compression<br />
resistant grade used for platen or tool base<br />
insulator plates. The major benefit of this material<br />
is improved pressure distribution and longer<br />
insulator life resulting in more uniform molded<br />
parts and significant decrease in equipment<br />
maintenance cost.<br />

In crosslinking applications, organic peroxide<br />
products act on the polymer itself, not the<br />
initial monomer. The organic peroxide “builds<br />
bridges” between the polymer chains to<br />
improve the mechanical properties and heat<br />
resistance of the product. In rubber, they are an<br />
excellent alternative to traditional vulcanization<br />
systems (sulfur) to provide nitrosamine-free<br />
solutions. Arkema has over 50 years of experience<br />
in manufacturing organic peroxides.<br />
These products include organic peroxides sold<br />

FOR A WORLD IN MOTION.<br />
INTRODUCING RHENOCURE ® TP/S<br />
Rhein Chemie has merged production<br />
of VOCOL ® ZBPD powder with our<br />
equivalent RHENOCURE ® TP/S.<br />
Rhein Chemie has merged production of VOCOL ® ZBPD POWDER with our equivalent RHENOCURE ® TP/S. The VOCOL ® PDR<br />
brand is discontinued and the new product will be sold as RHENOCURE ® TP/S. Rhein Chemie has slightly modified the odor and<br />
storage stability of the formulation and believes this adjustment will make future RHENOCURE ® TP/S product supplies more secure.<br />
RHENOCURE ® TP/S has 67% of active ingredient on 33% silica compared to Vocol‘s 75% activity level. Although both powders<br />
were often used alternatively, some formulations may require adjustment.<br />
For customers requiring a polymer bound product, Rhein Chemie offers RHENOGRAN ® TP-50 with a 50% activity level. For technical<br />
assistance contact Jon Nienaber, Rhein Chemie Technical Service Department at jon.nienaber@rheinchemie.com or 440-279-1285.<br />

Sigmasoft - elastomer injection molding<br />
process simulation - generates simulations<br />
in a fundamentally different way than traditional<br />
simulation tools. User-friendly process<br />
simulation considers all mold components,<br />
cooling channels, electrical heaters, thermocouples,<br />
complete runner system, inserts,<br />
and part geometries. The entire injection<br />
molding process is simulated. This leads<br />
to much higher accuracy in the simulation<br />
results, which in turn allows engineers to<br />
validate, optimize, and make accurate and<br />
confident decisions about tooling designs<br />
and process parameters for the entire process<br />
window. This provides production engineers<br />
with the ability to set up a sustainable<br />
and repeatable molding process, assuring<br />
the production of good parts under a variety<br />
of conditions.<br />

Why Join?<br />
www.rubber.org<br />
“The <strong>Rubber</strong> <strong>Division</strong> membership includes<br />
the most talented professionals in our industry.<br />
Having been in the <strong>Rubber</strong> and Plastics Industry<br />
for over 27 years, I began joining local rubber<br />
groups and in 2003 was further encouraged by<br />
my organization to assume a more active role in<br />
the <strong>Rubber</strong> <strong>Division</strong>. My first committee was<br />
Student Affairs.<br />
I soon recognized my association with the<br />
<strong>Rubber</strong> <strong>Division</strong>, as well as with local rubber<br />
groups, was very beneficial – allowing me to<br />
keep up with market trends and technology,<br />
meet helpful industry professionals, and develop<br />
lasting friendships. Since that first phone call to<br />
the <strong>Rubber</strong> <strong>Division</strong> in 2003, I have enjoyed<br />
being on various committees in both local<br />
<strong>Rubber</strong> Groups and the <strong>Rubber</strong> <strong>Division</strong>. It is<br />
an invaluable network serving both industry<br />
newcomers and long time members. It needs<br />
our support!<br />
Why join? Why not? The benefits are great!”<br />

TIPS FOR A SAFE STAY IN CLEVELAND<br />
• Attendees should be aware of their surroundings at all times.<br />
• Don’t wear your meeting badge outside the convention center or<br />
hotels.<br />
• Don’t wear fancy jewelry or carry expensive technology in plain sight.<br />
• Carry your briefcase, tote bag, purse or laptop carrier close to your<br />
body.<br />
• Don’t leave valuables in your hotel room. Use a hotel safe deposit box.<br />
• Walk in open well-lit areas at night.<br />
• Travel in groups. Don’t be a loner, particularly in the evening.<br />
• Use common sense. If someone or someplace looks suspicious, report<br />
it and/or avoid it.<br />
• If an emergency occurs during a meeting event, report emergencies<br />
to the nearest security guard or to any <strong>Rubber</strong> <strong>Division</strong>, ACS staff<br />
member.<br />
• If an emergency occurs outside a <strong>Rubber</strong> <strong>Division</strong>, ACS event, contact<br />
police or emergency assistance by dialing 911 or seeking assistance<br />
from the facility where the emergency occurs.<br />
• Should a catastrophic event occur while the meeting is under way,<br />
follow safety and security instructions issued by the facility where you<br />
are located at the time of the event.<br />
