Diesel engines offer better fuel economy, long-term durability and lower gas emissions than gasoline engines. However, there are concerns about the environmental and health hazards posed especially by diesel exhaust emissions.

Diesel emissions are an important topic for catalyst development. Sales growth of diesel cars has raised concern on the possible health effects from the ultra-fine particulates in diesel emissions. All new diesel – engined cars sold in Europe are now fitted with oxidation catalysts.

Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC)

Diesel Oxidation Catalysts lower particulate mass by up to 50%, by destruction of the organic fraction of the particulate, as well as making significant reductions in CO, HC and the characteristic diesel odour. However, the number of particles is unchanged and issues associated with the effects of ultra-fine particulates remain unresolved.

Ideal for Diesel Oxidation Converters;

Feature:  Ecoflex Low Binder Technology

Benefit:   Performance at Diesel Operating Temperatures

Enables: Constant Holding Force with Temperature and minimal holding force loss due to binder effects

Ecoflex Low Binder Technology

Ecoflex 200 series mats contain an organic binder to give flexibility during canning and accurate dimensional control during cutting. A new family of low binder Ecoflex products have been developed.

The low organic content of the mat impacts positively to improve both the performance of the mat during the binder burn out and the ability to pass end of line exhaust tests.

Ecoflex 200 / 200M & 200MX series products are now available with a unique binder chemistry which reduces the organic content of the support mat from approx.10% to approx.4%.

The unique fibre properties enable the mats to perform at low (diesel) operating temperatures, where traditional intumescent systems may not reach activation temperature, and in high temperature pre-converter applications where intumescent products reach their performance limits.
