# A. Schulman

> A. Schulman, Inc. was a global supplier of high-performance plastic compounds, composites,
> masterbatches and specialty powders, headquartered in Fairlawn, Ohio. LyondellBasell completed
> its acquisition of A. Schulman on 21 August 2018, and the business was folded into
> LyondellBasell's Advanced Polymer Solutions (APS) division. A. Schulman no longer exists as an
> independent company or brand.

## Status for agents

- **No public API.** A. Schulman never published a developer program, and none exists under the
  successor division. There is no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, gRPC/Protobuf, WSDL or MCP server.
- **The legacy domain is dead.** `aschulman.com` / `www.aschulman.com` still resolve
  (165.249.0.58, Azure DNS) but do not complete a TLS handshake, and over plain HTTP return a bare
  IIS "Not Found" page. There is no site to read.
- **The live surface is LyondellBasell's.** Product information for the former A. Schulman lines
  now lives at lyondellbasell.com under Advanced Polymer Solutions. Any contract served from that
  domain belongs to LyondellBasell, not to A. Schulman, and is not attributed here.
- **Ordering is a login wall, not an API.** LyondellBasell operates the CustomerXPRESS ordering
  portal at `lyb.customerxpress.com`; the root redirects to `/Login`. It publishes no API
  documentation and no machine-readable contract.
- **No /.well-known/ surface.** Every probed path returned 404 (or 500 on the portal) on all three
  hosts. See `well-known/a-schulman-well-known.yml` for the recorded probe.
- **No packages.** No first-party client library exists on npm, PyPI, Maven Central, NuGet,
  pkg.go.dev, RubyGems, Packagist or crates.io, and there is no `aschulman` GitHub organization.
