Schulman joins ANGP coalition


A Schulman, an international supplier of high-performance plastic compounds, masterbatches, powders and resins, will join the coalition with Adsorbed Natural Gas Products (ANGP) to develop and produce the world’s first commercially viable conformable Type IV adsorbent-based low pressure natural gas (ANG) storage tank for motor vehicles.

In February 2016 ANGP and United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) announced an exclusive licensing agreement allowing ANGP to use UTRC’s patent-pending technology to develop and produce storage tanks. A Schulman will join the coalition as the material and moulding solution provider to help develop a storage tank that meets the American National Standards for Natural Gas Vehicle Container (ANSI NGV2) certification.

Global Senior Vice President, Engineered Composites, Frank Roederer said: “We are honoured to receive an invitation to join the coalition and look forward to developing the world’s first commercially viable natural gas storage tank and meet the needs of our end customers for innovative, light-weight and environmentally friendly products.”
