OQ utilised Milliken’s Millad NX 8000 ECO additive solution to debut its Luban RP2251T injection moulding grade that has a superior aesthetic appearance and can be processed at significantly lower temperatures, enabling converters to generate energy savings and improved productivity due to reduced cycle times. This innovation enables converters to reduce energy consumption and achieve higher productivity, directly contributing to sustainable manufacturing and packaging solutions that meet evolving global needs.
“From product development to full commercialization, we are proud to collaborate with OQ to introduce their first injection molding grade made with our Millad clarifying agent,” said Maria Di Nolfo, Europe sales director at Milliken. “We are eager to see OQ meet the growing demand for highly transparent reusable products with lower energy consumption.”
Luban RP2251T offers excellent transparency and organoleptic performance. The grade is typically used in the production of thin-walled packaging with high transparency and stringent requirements for organoleptic properties.
“At OQ, we’re driven by innovation that delivers real-world performance, sustainability benefits and solutions for global megatrends. Luban RP2251T is a great example of how OQ and Milliken are advancing polymer performance, combining excellent clarity with lower energy use and faster cycle times,” said Abdulrahman Al Tamtami, VP global marketing at OQ.
OQ’s Luban RP2251T is enhanced with Millad clarifying agent, which provides excellent aesthetics and processing efficiency, enabling converters to achieve up to 10% energy and cost savings by processing the grades at lower temperatures and with shorter cycle times than similar products in the market, which use different clarifying agents.
