When the company turned its eye on one of its most ubiquitous products – electrical junction boxes – it had a real challenge on its hands. As part of their search for a non-halogenated product, the design staff at Schneider-Electric met with Avient's GLS thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material specialists. The engineers tested the material for shear resistance based on the thickness of the seal.
