Following the announcement in 2018 of the integration of its nine business units, Oman Oil and Orpic Group launched its new corporate brand “OQ” to the international arena at Plastex 2020. It will also be introduced at Plastivision India 2020.
Modern and bold, the new corporate identity unlocks a prosperous new integrated future for Oman Oil and Orpic Group, with the letter “O” representing One Community and One Vision and the letter “Q” reminding us all of the need to Question the present and the ongoing Quest to create a better future. During the two exhibitions, OQ aimed to share its polymer vision for the MENA region, the market in India and beyond. By building on existing partnerships and developing new ones, the agile company is focused on creating solutions that help its customers reduce material costs, improve efficiency and meet sustainability targets.
OQ's expansive range of resin grades
At Plastex, OQ showcased its expansive range of chemicals and polymer solutions. OQ's Luban HP1151K reduces haze in the thermoforming process and increases clarity and gloss. These are ideal properties to stand out in the hyper-competitive food packaging market — especially for products such as polypropylene (PP) containers, cups and trays.
Continuously expanding into new areas of the plastics industry, OQ is not only broadening its PP solutions and entering into the polyethylene (PE) space, but can now offer more integrated solutions to key industries including Oxo products, such as inks and plasticizers for the packaging and agricultural industries, respectively. This is made possible because OXEA is one of OQ’s nine core assets, and is one of the leading companies for Oxo chemicals.
In addition, OQ showed off its wide range of BOPP films, typically used for food packaging and confectionery goods and a variety of other films like Luban DFDA-7047 and Luban DFDC-7080 water bottle wrapper (blow film) at Plastex. These innovative films offer many advantages such as being free from stearates. Other applications include lamination film, agricultural film, stretch wrap film, FFS packaging films and more. Luban grades also provide superior strength and stability to fibers. These OQ grades are driving innovation in sectors such as carpeting, apparel, geo and agro textiles, as well as medical and hygiene applications.
OQ's PP, PE and Oxo products are enabling the growth and efficiency of partners in a myriad of industries such as packaging, industrial applications, construction, compounding, agriculture, and healthcare.
