THE CHALLENGE Schneider-Electric NB (Strömfors), a Nordic-based producer of electrical parts recently switched to a non-halogenated gasket (seal) material from Avient in boxes and enclosures for household electrical installations. First, the material had to be tested for shear resistance based on the thickness of the seal. Based on current market data, this translates to potential increased sales revenue of as much as €150,000 ($225,000 US).
