OQ, Oman’s global energy group, launched seventeen advanced polymer solutions over the past year, making it one of its most significant portfolio expansions to date. The company tailored these new application-focused grades to address global megatrends such as food preservation, water security, and energy efficiency—and will showcase them for the first time in Europe at K 2025, the world’s leading plastics and rubber trade fair in Düsseldorf.
Designed for the Demands of Tomorrow
The new portfolio spans both polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) families, engineered to meet rising expectations for performance, sustainability, and processing efficiency. These solutions reflect OQ’s commitment to developing polymers that are not just functional, but transformational.
“The expansion reflects our focus on what matters most to our customers—durability, speed-to-market, and operational efficiency,” said Abdulrahman Al Tamtami, Vice President, Global Marketing at OQ. “These aren’t just new grades—they’re new possibilities,” Al Tamtami added.
Broad Application Range Across Critical Sectors
The 17 new grades address a variety of real-world industry needs:
*6 PP Impact Copolymers for rigid packaging, including thin-walled containers, housewares, and durable goods.
*Highlight: Luban EP2348T for high-speed thin-wall packaging with a strong flow-stiffness balance.
*4 PP Random Copolymers offering high transparency and excellent organoleptic properties—ideal for food containers, closures, and housewares.
*Highlight: Luban RP2251T combines shelf appeal with shorter cycle times and energy savings.
*Two PP Homopolymers tailored for spunbond nonwoven applications, ensuring strong fiber integrity and stable processing.
*Five Polyethylene Grades, including rotomoulding solutions for water tanks and road safety barriers, built for impact resistance, UV stability, and long-term durability.
*Highlight: Luban LL-8446.21, ideal for robust water storage solutions.
These materials enable advancements in sustainable food packaging, durable infrastructure, and consumer goods that align with growing regulatory and consumer demands for longer life cycles and reduced environmental impact.
