Plastic packaging plays a vital role in our daily lives, providing both consumer convenience and product protection. Methods selected must provide comprehensive analytical coverage of NIAS and enable identification and quantification at concentrations where consumer exposure might be a concern.

Based on a history of successful collaboration between the two companies, Jäger felt confident that Avient could provide a material solution that would meet both performance and cost targets. This specific grade is based on styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene (SEBS), and its 80 Shore A hardness provides desirable toughness.

They then modified the material to offer enough heat resistance so it could be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying material that provides the gaskets’ rigidity.  The new approach to making the halogen-free electric junction boxes provided several important benefits to Schneider-Electric:

However, with an ever-evolving regulatory landscape and pressures from NGOs and consumers to limit the use of fluorinated substances, companies today are challenged with trying to meet the same product performance characteristics that PFAS provided in the past. Working to provide customers with alternatives, the Avient approach is to follow five key steps:
