2021
Fall and 2022 Spring Program
Toronto Section Chair’s Welcome
On behalf of STLE Toronto Section, I would like to welcome you to our 2021-2022 program. Starting last year, STLE Toronto held several education webinars on-line and we will continue until we will have a safe environment for our attendees.
Our focus will be the “cost saving” and / or “manufacturing cost reduction” based on better lubrication, better practices, and / or automated data gathering and processing. These helpful webinars will educate and help the attendees contribute more to the company through these tough times.
I welcome you all on this program and hope to see you all there.

Program
Our technical program over the last few years was based on half day in-person workshops featuring 5-6 speakers. This worked well but with the current concerns about the Covid 19, we are adapting. A short survey determined that the most popular was a talk 30-45 minutes long, on one topic, and held mid-morning. We are also going with live video audio webinars which allows our participants to attend from wherever they are working and there is no time lost for travel. Plus, questions can be submitted in advance or during the presentations. As before we are focusing on technologies that can help save your company resources. This can be better as it might help tribological products last longer, save energy, reduce waste, and/or increase productivity. Win, win, win!
This is a free webinar and Registration fees are voluntary. We suggest $25.00 which will be used to pay for Student Memberships at local universities

Webinar Notice for Tuesday, September 9
LANXESS Hybrid PU-CSC Grease. Innovative technology
that works harder and lasts longer.
Speakers: Wayne Mackwood, Global Head of Detergent and Grease Technology and, Andrew Keane, Global Marketing Analyst, LANXESS Corporation
Abstract: LANXESS has developed a new grease technology, which it is calling Hybrid Polyurea-Calcium Sulfonate Complex product or Hybrid PU-CSC. This grease technology marries the known performance of CSC grease (extreme pressure, antiwear, corrosion resistance, mechanical stability) with that of Polyurea grease technology (oxidation resistance and extended life) in a stable expanded performance grease platform. LANXESS is targeting applications where neither current CSC grease nor standard polyurea grease are ideally suited. This is clearly a sustainable grease technology as it enhances both component life as well as lubricant life. This discussion will describe the new technology, demonstrate its benefits, review some field trial results, and discuss the potential applications that will see benefit from it.

Dr. Andrew Keane
Andrew joined LANXESS in 2016 shortly after receiving his Ph.D. in Organometallic Chemistry from the University of Maryland – College Park. He was awarded the Anne Wylie College of Mathematics and Natural Sciences dissertation award for his work on converting greenhouse gases to commodity chemicals. His initial role at LANXESS was in the Process Development Group within the Lubricant Additives business, where he focused on synthetic base oil and aminic antioxidant chemistry. He was presented with the Innovation Award in 2016 for his work on high viscosity PAO base oil. During his tenure within the technical group, he particularly enjoyed studying the mechanisms of various lubricant additives, as well as the variety of applications where lubricants are employed. After three years in R&D, he transferred to the Product Management team. He has held the Global Marketing Analyst position for the last two years supporting the Transportation Additives segment, which includes Antioxidant, Detergent, Grease, and diphenylamine product groups. Andrew currently serves as the commercial project lead for LANXESS’ Hybrid PU-CSC grease thickener technology.
