Corning Environmental Technologies Profile
Overview
Corning Environmental Technologies is a leading supplier of advanced cellular ceramic substrates and diesel particulate filters. We have been a key contributor to the campaign for cleaner air for more than thirty years. As global concern about air quality intensifies, we continue to leverage our process, materials, and market understanding to provide engine and vehicle manufacturers with innovative diesel and gasoline emissions control technologies to help them meet tightening emissions standards.
Our critical components form the core of the world’s most effective pollution control systems. Corning substrates and filters deliver consistent, reliable and durable performance under demanding conditions for a full range of light-, medium- and heavy-duty diesel and gasoline applications. Our global network of service, engineering, and manufacturing facilities meets the needs of our customers worldwide.
Product Summary
Ceramic Substrates:
Corning’s ceramic substrates form the core of the catalytic converter and enable highly efficient emissions control by converting harmful pollutants (hydrocarbons, CO, and NOx) from light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
- Corning Celcor® substrates
Diesel Particulate Filters:
Corning’s diesel particulate filters are used in emissions control systems that remove particulate matter (soot) from diesel exhaust emissions, including light-, medium- and heavy-duty diesel applications.
- Corning DuraTrap® filters
Ceramic Substrates and Filters for Stationary Applications:
Corning ceramic substrates and supports are used in stationary catalytic systems to help curb air pollution from power plants, refineries, chemical processing plants and in many other industrial applications.
