EC Gas: An LPG Innovation
Normally used in our daily lives, LPG cylinders are something that most of us wouldn’t be able to cook without. But these harmless looking cylinders are not always safe—they can actually be dangerous. Known to cause horrific accidents, LPG cylinders can leak and cause severe damage to both your health and property.
In the Philippines, cooking using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been proven to be the most practical, widespread and economical. Unfortunately, there are people who neglect to implement quality control measures on LPG tanks.
In April 2013, the LPG Marketers Association (LPGMA) party-list reported that there are about 6 million dilapidated tanks that are still being distributed in the country. This means that Filipino households that make up 70 percent of LPG users are actually exposed to LPG-related fire incidents, which has reached almost 2,000 over the past decade.
So how do you ensure this won’t happen to your own family?
What is EC Gas?

An independent Philippine oil industry, Eastern Petroleum Corporation (EPC), hopes to provide a safer alternative way for Filipino families to cook their dinners. EPC claims that their Eastern Composite (EC) Gas LPG has non-explosive qualities since it is made out of durable fiber-glass and resin unlike ordinary LPG tanks.
“When you buy a house, it’s a serious investment and it pains us that what you have invested in may be gone in just a few hours because of an LPG explosion,” Fernando L. Martinez, chairman and chief operating officer of EPC said. “Of course, the safety of your family is also at stake.” Citing the “Iwas Sunog, Iwas Sabog” slogan of EC Gas, Martinez expects EC Gas to be a game changer in the Philippine LPG industry.
As the world continues to advance at a rapid rate, new and improved technology and innovations mean that there are more things to be worried about, but fortunately, this is mirrored by more efficient solutions to everyday problems. Practice safety when cooking in your home with EC Gas, the first and only composite liquid petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder in the country.
Benefits of Installing EC Gas in Your Homes
It’s explosion proof. Easter Composite (EC) Gas LPG cylinder is an alternative to the traditional steel tank sold in the market which is made of patented composite fiberglass, making it 100 percent explosion proof and leaving consumers with safer homes and worry-free kitchens.
It’s user friendly. With more than 9,000,000 users worldwide in over 40 countries, EC Gas Home LPG Systems are engineered for consistency and built to last for many years of safe and hassle free cooking. Its lightweight build can handle up to 50% more LPG pressure than conventional steel tanks which are heavy, prone to rusting, content cannot be seen, and can explode during fires.
It’s convenient. EC Gas tanks are 70 percent lighter than the steel tanks and it is also translucent, making the LPG visible. The regulator, which comes from Germany, stops the flow of LPG when it becomes disconnected from the cylinder or when the hose becomes ruptured. The regulator is also equipped with an on and off switch and can be placed through a snap on mechanism, making it user friendly. It’s the lightest and safest LPG cylinder that even kids can carry it around!
