Readers can find out the history of the ANGUS (Alberta Natural Gas/United States) Chemical Company by visiting the angus.com website, which traces the company’s origins back to the 1928 discovery that commercially used chemicals can be produced from natural gas. By 1936, ANGUS applied for its first patent to develop and manufacture nitroalkane based chemicals such as those used in paints, personal care products and makeup. Decades later, the biocide divisions of ANGUS, Dow Chemical and Union Carbide Corporation merged to form Dow Biocides.
According to angus.com, as of 2012, Buffalo Grove, Illinois served as the company’s base of operations, with satellite offices in the continent of Asia, in Singapore, India and China. Additional locations function in Brazil and Switzerland. Advances over the decades have allowed the chemical corporation to lead in the manufacture and sale of products used in fuel dyes and markers, leather processing and even in the field of water treatment. ANGUS makes chemicals like AMP 90 and Hydrogard I-15 that stop corrosion in steam generators.
The work of chemists assists the corporation in staying on top when it comes to innovation and the mission of evolving and expanding the use of nitroalkanes, like nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane. Angus.com explains that these man-made molecules serve a wide range of purposes in many areas of life, as do all the chemicals sold by authorized agents and distributors in the United States and across the world. Company representatives regularly appear at conferences and expos to enlighten executives and decision makers from many industries on how chemical technology can aid them.
