Automotive Particulate Filters
Stringent Regulations on Emissions
Increasingly, stringent regulations have been implemented to reduce the emissions of particles (soot) from vehicles. This has resulted in the need for higher performing gas and diesel particulate filters, which are highly technical ceramics that need strength, stability and exacting pore size.
