Job Titles:
- Rubber Molding Expert
- Urethane Molding Expert
Areas of Specialization Rubber Molding processes that involve compression,injection,transfer and use of mandrels for the manufacturing of rubber products. These products include;tires,hoses,belts,gaskets,seals,O-rings,recycled rubber products,flooring and auto parts. Experience Chris has over 5 years in a technical sales role at Stoner. Rubber release and cleaning agents assist in the manufacturing of rubber products in the U.S.,Canada,Mexico and globally through IMA,our international partner. Prior to Stoner,Chris had 15 years of experience as an institutional pharmaceutical representative. Chris consulted and sold acute care medicines within health systems in the area of oncology,cardiology and infectious disease. About Chris I enjoy working with manufacturers to find mold release solutions to improve their manufacturing process with rubber-molded products. Recently,I consulted with a large Industrial Hose Manufacturer to develop a release agent that solved their quality issues with a difficult CPE compound. Product Passions I take great pride in finding a specific release agent for rubber manufacturers that solves their problems and provides incremental process improvements at a value based price. In addition,our water-based release agents have provided an eco-friendly alternative for manufacturers who are challenged with reducing VOC's and improving their carbon footprint.
Areas of Specialization Urethane foams and elastomers,automated manufacturing processes and surface chemistry modification. Experience Christopher began his career as an Analytical Chemist in the Medical Device field molding silicone polymers and moved into a Research & Development role in the advanced plastics industry focusing on the development of innovative adhesives and release agents. For over a decade,he has worked directly with customers to resolve problems in their molding processes. About Chris I have viewed the molded parts industry from many different angles,always seeking new solutions for my customers. Safety,quality,productivity and innovation are the pillars that I found my technical approach to product development and customer service. If we don't have a solution on the shelf,then I will dedicate myself to helping you find a new one.
Areas of Specialization Plastic processing in Injection Molding,Rotational Molding,Extrusion,Thermoforming,Blow Molding,etc. Experience After graduating from West Virginia University with a B.S. in Business Administration with concentrations in Chemistry and Economics,Larry has been in technical sales and marketing for over 30 years. He spent 8 years with GE Plastics,4 years with Kelch Injection Molding as well as Dickten & Masch,5 years with BASF,and more than 13 years with Stoner. His years of experience help him to understand what the customer is going through,which product(s) in the Stoner arsenal offer the best solutions,and how to help develop new processes to save time and money. About Larry I enjoy working at all levels of manufacturing to help find molding solutions that improve the manufacturing process with our Mold Releases,Mold Cleaners and Rust Preventives. Recently,I've consulted with Injection Molders and Rotational Molders to help them identify new or improved processes that have allowed them to save both time and money. As problems are identified we've taken an existing Stoner Product and found a new application. For example,our water based A538 All Purpose Cleaner Concentrate is now being used to clean Rotational Molds in ΒΌ of the time and a fraction of the cost of a flammable solvent cleaner. Just another example of saving both time and money!Within the Injection Molding Industry we developed a new safer Non-Flammable Mold Cleaner. Let's see how we can help you.
Areas of Specialization Critical cleaning,rubber/tire molding,surface chemistry,chemical and process engineering. Experience Matt received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from UC Santa Barbara and his Ph.D. in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Delaware. He has performed research in a number of key areas including soft matter,microfluidics,and heterogeneous catalysis. During his Ph.D.,he worked in the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation performing research in a variety of topics in energy,heterogeneous catalysis,and surface chemistry. In doing so,he developed and employed analytical tools to understand underlying reaction mechanisms at solid-liquid interfaces and to subsequently design high performance processes. Matt's success has resulted in 11 published research articles(9 first-author) in high-impact scientific journals as well as a provisional patent. About Matt I enjoy solving problems and strive to meet customer's needs through my experience in troubleshooting and my working knowledge of chemistry,engineering,and the interface between them. I continue to build upon my technical knowledge within the mold release industry,harnessing it to develop improved products and processes. I am moreover committed to the health and safety of Stoner's customers and have contributed to the formulation of safer and more reliable cleaners and coatings.
Job Titles:
- Composites Molding Expert
Areas of Specialization All composite molding processes including RTM,Infusion,Casting,Filament Winding. Compression,Hand Lay-Up,and Vacuum Bagging with polyester,vinyl ester,epoxy,and pre-preg materials. Experience Win started his composite career with a large fabricator of filament wound tanks,pipe and underground storage tanks with positions in finance,purchasing and plant management. This transitioned into a 17-year position in sales and senior management with a composites material distributor and manufacturer of gel coats and tooling coatings that specialized in customer training of tooling related materials. For the past 10 years,Win has developed the international market for Stoner composite mold release agents. About Win I have a passion for understanding tooling related issues and helping fabricators understand the mechanics of the materials they are using and optimizing performance while minimizing total cost. I am a firm believer in developing water based solutions that actually outperform solvent alternatives but do not cause fabricator process issues.
