November 2017 Technical Session

STLE President and Machine Testing Program

Please join us on November 16th, 2017 for our 3rd session of the season, highlighting Machine Testing. Good businesses thrive on good results. And good results means taking the proper steps to assess product quality and performance. For our industry, this largely includes bench testing to weed out the underperformers, and move forward with the right formulations. This month, we welcome speakers from FALEX and Lubrizol to dig a little deeper on proper test selection and twist compression – Please join us for an enriching afternoon.
