DR. HANS-JOACHIM GRAF: Hans-Joachim
Joachim Graf has over thirty years experience in the rubber industry. He was first with manufacturing
companies for pharmaceutical and technical rubber parts. He then jo
joined
ined DESMA a manufacturer of Rubber Injection molding and polyurethane
shoe machines responsible for process development, followed by RheinChemie as senior manager of material developments for rub
rubber
ber industry.
After Cooperstandard Automotive (CAN), division
n of profile extrusion, as a director of materials he is today with WOCO (GE), a manufacturer of
injection molded parts in charge for material development and process design. Mr. Graf has authored over 60 publications and paper
presentations and invented more
ore than 15 patents. He has given a rubber technology course for graduates at University of Waterloo and is
teaching courses in recipe design and industrial bonding at University of Hannover (GE) continuing education department. He iiss a member of the
American
can Chemical Society, Deutsche Chemische Gesellchaft and Deutsche Kautschuk Gesellschaft. He received his diploma degree from
University of Mainz and his doctorate in polymer chemistry from University of Freiburg, both Germany. During DKT'12 (German Rubber
Conference 2012) he was awarded with the Erich-Konrad
Konrad Medal of the DKG (German Rubber Society).
