Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in the

countrys most innovative & fastest
growing LPG Company!

The Philippine LPG industry

10 Million out of 20 Million Filipino households use LPG
3rd most important staple to a Filipino family

90 Billion Peso industry a year

Most popular heat source for cooking
By Far the most practical and Economical Cooking Fuel.
10% are commercial while households consists the majority LPG
Consumers

Challenges in LPG Marketing

Resistance to Change of Brand Everyone has the
same tank.
Industry Dominated by a Few Large Players.
Existence of underfilling, dangerous tanks being
used, contaminated tanks with water/used oil inside
to increase weight.
Currently there is LOW product innovation in the
Philippine LPG Industry.

Main causes of LPG Tank Malfunction

Fact 1: Steel Tanks corrodes overtime and simply repainted
Fact 2: Steel Tanks can explode during Fires
Fact 3: Steel Tanks leaks due to rust (Internally & External)
Fact 4: Defective Regulators due to substandard quality
Fact 5: Brittle hose due to substandard quality
Fact 6: Unauthorized Dealers that changes the valves of the

Tank.

Other disadvantages
Heavy due to its metal construction
Level of LPG cannot be seen

High Maintenance and has to be re-qualified

and repainted
Low enforcement of Steel Tank Requalification

procedures

WHY switch to
EC Gas
Composite
Cylinders?

Made by a Market and Technology

Leader
- The Leader in
Composite and
New Materials
Technology
- Diverse product
Lines Ranging
from LPG
Cylinders, Natural
Gas Transport and
special
composites for
power generation

Cylinder Technology
Cylinders are manufactured
under nearly full automation.
ISO Certification: 11119-3
Designed to operate across all
weather conditions from -40
degrees Celsius (Antarctic
regions) to +65 degrees Celsius
Cylinders are custom built for
Eastern Petroleum
Corporation. Robust Design
and High Durability
Made in Europe (Norway)

Superior Regulator Technology

Made in Germany.

Over 90 Years (1922-2012) of expertise in

Valve manufacturing. Globally Certified.
The same company also creates valves for
precision manufacturing such as
semiconductor, aerospace and cryogenics.
High Precision Manufacturing
Auto Shut off if Pressure exceeds 1kg per
hour.
Shuts off during a rupture or if hose gets
detached.

End User Product Benefits

EXPLOSION PROOF
Full Composite Cylinder (Plastic Liner) cylinders will never
explode in Fire.
WILL NOT EXPLODE EVEN WHEN COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN
FLAMES

CORROSION-FREE
Plastic liner and glass fibre does not corrode

LOWER MAINTENANCE COST

Only washing required
No need for reconditioning works of
cylinders due to rust
and corrosion

LIGHTER

70% lighter than steel cylinders. Therefore,

allows more cylinders to be transported.

Translucent
Customer sees the
level of LPG to
avoid running out
of Fuel while
cooking.

11 kg. Composite vs. Steel

Composite

Materials: Polyethylene Liner, Fiberglass

Composite layer- its made of special
carbon fibre, its corrosion free
Height: 571mm/22.5 in
Tare weight: 5 Kg- 50-70% lighter, it can
be carried by a woman.
Diameter: 306mm/12 in
Service pressure: 60 bar/ 882 psi- can
withstand extreme heat, explosion
proof.

Steel

Materials: Steel usually rust through the

years, due its made of metal.
Height: 560mm/22 in
Tare Weight: 15 Kg- Only Men can carry
steel tanks
Diameter: 309mm/ 12.16 in
Service pressure: 34 bar/ 493 psi- Steel
tanks explodes in just 6 to 7 minutes when
its subjected to heat.

Everyone else are steel tanks

EC Gas is the only Fiberglass LPG Tank
Competitive Advantage
Monopoly in Technology

Product Comparisons
How many IPhones are sold in the Philippines
Number of Private cars worth at least 600k+

How much is a house? A typical house is 13,500/sq.

Condo in Makati 130,000/sqm

EC Gas is affordable
Filipinos are capable of purchasing EC Gas.
People spend so much in security, cameras,
locks, exclusive villages.
Why not the safety of your kitchen? Where
50% of steel tanks are considered UNSAFE?
