It is suitable for producing thin-walled packaging that requires high clarity and strict organoleptic standards.<\/p>\n

The introduction of OQ\u2019s Luban RP2251T, enhanced with Millad clarifying agent, also enables converters to achieve energy and cost savings of up to 10%.<\/p>\n

This is made possible by processing the material at lower temperatures and with shorter cycle times compared to similar products that utilise alternative clarifying agents.<\/p>\n

OQ global marketing vice-president Abdulrahman\u00a0Al Tamtami stated: \u201cAt OQ, we\u2019re driven by innovation that delivers real-world performance, sustainability benefits and solutions for global megatrends.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuban 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new product allows converters to realise energy savings and enhance productivity through reduced cycle times.<\/p>\n

This innovation aligns with the increasing demand for sustainable manufacturing and packaging solutions that meet evolving global requirements.<\/p>\n

Milliken Europe sales director Maria Di Nolfo stated: \u201cFrom product development to full commercialisation, we are proud to collaborate with OQ to introduce their first injection moulding grade made with our Millad clarifying agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are eager to see OQ meet the growing demand for highly transparent reusable products with lower energy consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n
