Our Team of Experts

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.

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

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 ¼ 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

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

Zach received his B.S. in Business Administration and Marketing from Shippensburg University.  Within his first 5 years at Stoner, Zach worked on production lines around the world helping molders with tailored solutions based on their challenges. 

About Zach

I enjoy evaluating current processes and establishing specific areas of opportunity where our products can optimize efficiency. Helping molders understand the mechanics of the materials they’re using is a passion of mine. I’ve spent years in factories understanding the process challenges that operators face daily. I help composite manufacturers focus on training and implementing a clear and sustainable molding process that directly increases their bottom line. I’m passionate about utilizing a hands-on approach with fabricators on their production lines. Remember, if you mold it, we can release it! In my free time, I enjoy racing motocross, restoring International Scouts, and real estate investing.

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.

Areas of Specialization

Chemical and process engineering, critical cleaning, polyurethane releases, plastics releases, surface chemistry, and tire coatings.

Experience

Jared received his B.S. degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Tufts University and his Ph.D. in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Delaware. During his Ph.D., he performed research on a variety of topics in energy, heterogeneous catalysis, and surface chemistry. Jared’s research has resulted in 10 published articles and since joining Stoner, while also receiving a provisional patent.

About Jared

I enjoy working with customers to understand their needs and helping to provide solutions to solve those needs. Using my experience and working knowledge of chemistry and engineering, I have been able to help develop new mold releases for the polyurethane market as well as improve the health and safety of some of our mold release products. I continue to expand my knowledge and understanding of the mold release industry, which helps me develop improved products and processes for our customers. Here at Stoner, we are committed to the health and safety of our customers and continue to formulate safer products, while still providing the desired performance.
