and lightweighting. It offers pre-consumer recycled grades, including Omyaloop FC for general purpose applications, and Omya Smartfill 55-AV for engineering materials and biopolymers, verified by Bureau Veritas and produced using green electric- ity. These grades also reduce emissions by up to two-thirds and support compliance with EU sustainability directives. Meanwhile, the Omyasphere 900 series of hollow glass microspheres are engineered to reduce product weight while maintaining strength making them ideal for automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Omya Performance Polymers Distribu- tion (OPPD) combines its polymer distribution network with Distrupol. � www.omya.com


OQ will showcase some of the 17 new polymers that it has developed over the last year, for applica- tions in packaging, durables and infrastructure. These include: six PP impact copolymers for rigid packaging applications (including thin-wall packaging, housewares and durables), with good flow and stiffness-impact balance; and four PP random copolymers with enhanced transparency and organoleptic performance, aimed at house- wares, closures, and food containers. They are engineered to meet a range of industry needs, including: packaging that helps reduce food waste and energy consumption; water storage solutions; and transparent, reusable rigid packaging. � www.oq.com


Visitors to the Palsgaard stand will discover how its food-grade, plant-based additives offer resin producers and converters high performance combined with the reassurance of worldwide regulatory compliance. At the heart of its showcase is Einar 987, a new anti-fouling additive developed from renewable vegetable oils. Designed as a drop-in replacement for ethoxylated amines, Einar 987 is food-contact approved, effective at low dosage levels (100–300 ppm), and delivers the same reactor efficiency and product quality while eliminating toxic legacies. Alongside Einar 987, the company will highlight its portfolio of safe polymer additives, including anti-static solutions such as Einar 601 and Einar 608 PL, and anti-fog solutions such as Einar 618 and Einar 422, which help keep food packaging clear under hot and cold storage conditions. � www.palsgaard.com

and launch new materials in the Durast fine powders lineup. As part of a sustainability strategy which includes Duracircle Sustainable Solutions, the company will also unveil unique technologies including the development of bio-based p-hy- droxybenzoic acid (PHBA), a key monomer for Laperos liquid crystal polymer (LCP). � www.polyplastics-global.com


At K 2025, Sabic says it will unveil innovative solutions to help customers develop products that have an impact in everyday life, in line with its theme for the show: “Connecting Everyday Life”. Among its displays, one will show materials used in the state-of-the-art appliances, consumer electron- ics, smart devices, advanced connectivity, 5G access and energy storage for EV mobility can support improving home life. The company will spotlight how its materials are helping to transform daily transportation, from road to rail and air. Another display on Work will explore how Sabic’s materials are used to produce high-performing, durable infrastructure components, from pipes to high-voltage cables for renewable energy net- works. It will also have displays on the areas Shop and Care. � www.sabic.com


Featured products at SI Group’s booth will highlight the company’s commitment to driving forward- thinking solutions that support sustainable practices within the plastic and rubber industries. Products include: Weston 705, a next-generation, nonylphe- nol-free liquid phosphite antioxidant for plastics and elastomers; Lowinox 1790 high-performance hindered phenolic antioxidant designed for prevent- ing spandex oxidation and degradation; Lowinox TBM6 hindered thiophenol antioxidant specifically designed for high-voltage cable insulation; Naugard BIO-XL, an accelerator with over 95% biocarbon-
