Summary:Corning's work in developing catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPFs) is outlined, looking at the technologies used, the growth opportunities for the automotive industry, and the investment made in a new production facility in New York State. The principle of the DPF is briefly explained and illustrated. Corning's cordierite monolithic diesel filters (DuraTrap RC and DuraTrap CO) are enabling the development of new "clean diesel" engines. This is good news for the automotive industry, which has long been seeking to promote greater use of diesel engines. There is great opportunity for ceramic substrates and filters in the USA, where Corning's sales have increased dramatically in recent months. Their new plant will help to meet demand, and its proximity to the R&D Center should facilitate a "holistic" design approach. The company is fostering collaboration with others in the automotive supply chain.
