OQ Launches Luban LL-8446.21 to Enhance Water Security and Sustainability

OQ, Oman’s global integrated energy group, has launched Luban LL-8446.21, an advanced rotomoulding-grade polymer designed to address critical water scarcity challenges. Unveiled at Arabplast 2025, this solution is intended to support the water and food storage needs of communities, particularly in regions facing severe resource shortages.

Providing Practical Solutions to a Global Challenge: Water scarcity is an escalating crisis, with billions of people already affected. Luban LL-8446.21 provides a durable solution, enabling the production of water tanks designed for long-term use in water-stressed regions. “Water scarcity remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and Luban LL-8446.21 reflects our commitment to addressing this issue with solutions that benefit communities and industries,” said Abdul Rahman Al Tamtami, Vice President of Global Marketing at OQ.

Key Features Supporting Water Security: The polymer is ideal for rotomoulded applications such as water tanks, agricultural storage, and more. Key sustainability features include: 1) Durability: Designed for harsh environments, ensuring consistent performance. 2) Lower Carbon Footprint: Energy-efficient manufacturing reduces carbon emissions. 3) Energy Efficiency: Lightweight and resource-efficient, it reduces energy consumption across the supply chain. 4) Food-Safe Applications: Complies with food safety standards for water and food product storage. 5) Recyclability: Supports circular economy principles by being easily recyclable.

Recognition for Excellence: Luban LL-8446.21 has earned a nomination for the 2024 OPAL Best Practices Award, recognising its potential in addressing water and food security challenges. With over 100 customer approvals worldwide, the polymer is gaining recognition for its performance in a range of applications. "This OPAL nomination showcases the strong impact of Luban LL-8446.21 on both our business and the industries it serves," said Sadiq Al Lawati, Managing Director of Polymer Marketing at OQ.

Broad Applications Beyond Water Storage: In addition to water tanks, Luban LL-8446.21 can be used in traffic barriers, road cones, cool boxes, and even children’s slides. OQ is also developing cutting-edge rotomoulding solutions incorporating advanced materials to further enhance mechanical properties and environmental resistance.

Driving Global Progress Through Sustainability: Luban LL-8446.21 embodies OQ’s commitment to sustainable development, engineered using Unipol PE technology to provide high-performance and environmentally friendly polymer solutions. OQ’s proactive approach to customer feedback and regulatory compliance ensures the continued evolution of impactful products that align with global sustainability goals.

Elevated floors!

Raised access flooring, also called false flooring, is a less common interiors feature than false ceilings, but it has as many uses – if not more.A raised floor is a modular panel installed above the structural floor. The space beneath the raised flooring is typically used to accommodate utilities such as electrical cables, plumbing and HVAC systems. And so, raised flooring is usually associated with buildings with heavy cabling and precise air distribution needs, such as data centres.That said, CW interacted with designers and architects and discovered that false flooring can come in handy ..

The Variation Challenge

A variation or change in scope clause is defined in construction contracts to take care of situations arising from change in the defined scope of work. Such changes may arise due to factors such as additions or deletions in the scope of work, modifications in the type, grade or specifications of materials, alterations in specifications or drawings, and acts or omissions of other contractors. Further, ineffective planning, inadequate investigations or surveys and requests from the employer or those within the project’s area of influence can contribute to changes in the scope of work. Ext..
