Other Skills

Have operated prototype Van Dorn press before the company I worked for built Injection

molding section. They wanted to have someone trained so I could train other operators.

MATERIALS worked with to successfully design new compounds:

1. Nitrile rubber for roll covers, molded products, ranging from hardness levels of 30

Shore ‘A’ to 95 Shore ‘A’’.

2. HNBR compounds for molding, for hardnesses 50 Shore ‘A’ to 90 Shore ‘A’.

3. Fluoroelastomers for molding and solution coatings.

4. Aflas polymers for molding and designing adhesives. Hardness ranges from 60 ‘A’to

90 ‘A’. The company, UTEX Industries got six patents for these materials designed by

me. This division (XENOX) was purchased by Dyneon at the time of the oil field crunch. Part

of the agreement that UTEX had was they would not hire me away from them.

5. Solution coating of cloth with above elastomers were used to design adhesives. UTEX

has patented three new adhesives by using the reaction technology designed by me.

New materials designed for industries.

Paper mill roll covers: Designed new roll cover that can last to 350F. Required

1.

getting supplier to design a coagent for me. No other roll covering company had

access to this technology. Total division in France patented the chemical. Initial

proof was done by use of electron microscope. Competitor roll lasted six hours, our

roll lasted 6 months without failure. Had to send employee there to protect roll so

competitors could not get sample of roll to have analyzed. Germans saw technology

and were interested. I was flown to Hanover Germany to explain why and how the

technology worked.

2. Modified Roll covers: Company I worked for had very poor life for their roll covers.

They were last in the industry. After introduction of new roll covers using my new

ideas in conjunction with Germany, we led the industry.

3. Every new roll cover was evaluated on our test machines. I needed to have a

minimum of 25% improvement to be considered acceptable

4. Have published articles for Rubber Resource Magazine.

These articles are as follows:

1. Polymer Resistance to Flexfuels and Biodiesel

2. Polymer Resistance to Alternative Fuels
