Global Polymer Revolutionizes Polymer Manufacturing with Proprietary Custom-Molding Technology for UHMW-PE
MADISON, SD / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Global Polymer, a leading innovator in polymer manufacturing, has unveiled a proprietary new method for custom-molding Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), setting a new industry standard in what is possible with this high-performance material. Traditionally, UHMW-PE is supplied in sheet form and then fabricated, limiting the design flexibility available to engineers and manufacturers. Global Polymer's breakthrough process enables the company to custom mold UHMW-PE into complex, high-strength components with varying thicknesses and integrated features, giving OEM companies across various industries new freedom to design for performance, durability, and cost efficiency. 'UHMW-PE is already a game-changing material-offering self-lubricating properties, extreme durability, and resilience across temperature fluctuations,' said Todd Huntimer, President for Global Polymer Industries. 'Now, with our proprietary molding technology, we are opening up an entirely new world of design possibilities. We can mold in fasteners, metal inserts, variable wall thicknesses, and geometries that were previously impossible with traditional fabrication methods.' The new capability is already transforming applications in industries such as: With Global Polymer's technology, engineers can now specify molded UHMW-PE components that perform better, last longer, and simplify assembly without sacrificing the inherent advantages of this versatile polymer. 'This is more than a materials innovation,' added Huntimer. 'It's a manufacturing revolution. We are enabling OEMs to achieve part consolidation, lightweighting, corrosion resistance, and extended wear life with a single custom-molded component.' The company is actively working with OEM partners to develop custom UHMW-PE solutions that deliver tangible performance and cost benefits. About Global Polymer Global Polymer is a leading manufacturer specializing in innovative UHMW-PE solutions for demanding applications across a wide range of industries. With its proprietary compression molding technology, the company is redefining what is possible with UHMW-PE-providing engineered components that outperform traditional materials.

Oman's biggest polymer project set for Q1 2026 launch
MUSCAT: The first phase of a major polymer project, currently under construction at Sohar Port and Freezone with an investment of $300 million, is on track for launch in the first quarter of 2026. When fully operational at a nameplate capacity of 350,000 tonnes per annum, the facility will position the Sultanate of Oman as one of the world's largest producers of acrylamide and polyacrylamide – polymers that are at the heart of the enhanced oil recovery (EOR), fracking and drilling markets globally. 'This project represents a strategic move to boost the company's manufacturing capabilities in the region and support enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects in the GCC region and internationally,' said Alexey Andrianov, Director of Sales & Technology - Middle East, Europe & North Africa, ZL EOR Chemicals, a Canada-based group specialising in the production of chemical EOR (CEOR) for the global oil and gas sector. 'Once operational, the facility will manufacture high-quality polyacrylamide products aimed at supporting oilfield operations across the Middle East and export markets,' Andrianov added in a post on Friday. Last December, ZL EOR Chemicals and its local partners Polymer Experts kicked off construction work on their world-scale polyacrylamide (PAM) manufacturing facility on an expansive 250,000 m2 plot in Suhar. Sharing an update on the project's current status, Andrianov said: 'The Sohar plant construction is advancing steadily, with foundational structures, utility systems, and key equipment installations nearing completion. The commissioning of Phase 1 is expected to begin in early 2026, with Phase 1 production targeted for Q1 2026,' he noted. Significantly, the Sohar project builds on ZL Group's longstanding presence in the Omani market, initially as a supplier of imported polyacrylamide for the Omani oilfield sector, but latterly as a local manufacturer of this commodity. In 2019, the Group launched what was then Oman's first-ever polymer manufacturing plant in Raysut Industrial City in Dhofar Governorate. Constructed with an investment of $20 million, the facility began with an initial capacity of 15,000 tonnes of polymer per annum, with subsequent expansions envisioned to boost capacity to 70,000 tonnes. ZL Group's maiden investment in Oman at the time was in response to calls for the localisation of polyacrylamide manufacturing in light of the sizable demand for this commodity, notably by majority state-owned Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), the country's largest producer of oil and gas. Chemical EOR operations are an integral part of PDO's strategy to maximise output from its mature oil fields. It entails the injection of polymers, among other chemicals such as surfactants and alkaline agents, into oil reservoirs to increase the efficiency of oil extraction. Within PDO's concession, polymer-based EOR has been deployed as part of the Marmul Polymer Flooding Project, billed as one of the largest of its kind in the Middle East. Furthermore, at Qarn Alam, a hybrid project utilises a combination of thermally-assisted gas/oil gravity drainage (TA-GOGD) with chemical assistance in the optimisation of oil mobilisation. 'By establishing local production, ZL Group aims to strengthen supply chain reliability, reduce lead times, and provide cost-effective solutions for regional clients in Oman, GCC and other regions,' Andrianov added in his post. 2022 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
