Webinar on Ethanol Blend Impacts on Plastics, Elastomers and Metals

Staff from Oakridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will host a free webinar on test results of fueling infrastructure equipment/materials with various ethanol blends.

The webinar will cover the coupon exposure tests of plastics to various ethanol blends and a reference fuel. The presentation also will cover the impact ethanol blends have on metals and elastomers―information covered in a January 2011 meeting among representatives from ORNL, NREL, Underwriters Laboratories and companies whose equipment was tested.

The webinar will be presented one time: Thursday, January 5, 2012, 2:00 pm, EST. Participants can join the event directly and listen in by calling 877-546-1573.
