Services:

I have over 20 years of experience applying polymer science, surface science and engineering to develop unique and valuable products from concept through customer introduction. My proven strengths include problem definition, laboratory scale characterization, small scale and pilot scale test method development and scale up processing. I have been instrumental in bringing experimental products to industrial scale, acting as liaison with marketing and technical service to introduce products through presentations, publications and trade shows as well as dealing with regulatory issues, codes and intellectual property issues. I have developed many specialty polyurethane elastomers, rigid and foam products requiring an extensive knowledge of isocyanates, polyols, surfactants, fillers, plasticizers, fire retardants and blowing agents . More recently I have focused on polyurethane adhesives and release agents used in the composite wood industry.

Recent patents include: 6,407,196 Decontamination of Isocyanate Fouled Materials; 6,387,187 Emulsifiable Isocyanate Compositions; 6,132,503 and 5,908,496 Process for Binding Lignocellulosic Material; 6,368,714 Moisture-Activated Adhesive Compositions.
