Course Overview
This one-day course provides a current overview of the chemical supply chain for the rubber industry. This course also reviews the present and future international economics and its effects on this chemical supply chain to rubber producers, compounding ingredient manufacturers, custom mixers, rubber fabricators, molders, extruders and others.
By taking this course, the participant will understand the chemical connectivity of rubber compounding materials to their chemical feedstocks. On completion of this course, the participants should be able to directly link new commercial changes in 175 commonly used chemical feedstocks to hundreds of different rubber compounding ingredients.
A 600-page photocopied manual is included in the course materials.
