Gastank Sweden AB has obtained certification to UN ECE R110 standard for its new Type IV Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cylinders for motor vehicles. The cylinder differs from the lightweight composite CNG cylinder certified in 2010, using Dow’s composite resin technology together with HiPer-tex glass fiber from 3B. The toughened epoxy systems from Dow enables production of lightweight and durable composite cylinders with improved impact resistance, dynamic fatigue and low-temperature performance.
