Ecoflex® Substrate Support Systems …. Working towards a cleaner future.

Saffil Automotive has developed a family of support mat, end cone insulation and wall insulation products under the registered tradename Ecoflex®.

The Ecoflex solution is a non-intumescent (non-expanding) substrate support mat for use in catalytic converter and diesel particulate filters. The Ecoflex manufacturing process is fully flexible and can manufacture a product to a specific basis weight to exactly meet the demands of the application.

These new products have been carefully designed to operate over the wide range of temperatures experienced in gasoline and diesel engine emission control systems.

What is Ecoflex?

  • Substrate Support System used in catalytic converters to hold the ceramic substrate in place and not damage the often fragile ceramic substrate.
  • Ecoflex mats are Non-intumescent (non-expanding)
  • Organically bound mat using our standard binder technology or the new novel LB binder technology
  • Manufactured using Saffil High Alumina fibres (Ecoflex 200, Ecoflex 200LB) or Saffil M-Fil fibres (Ecoflex 200M, Ecoflex 200M-LB, Ecoflex 200M-X1) – giving class leading high temperature performance

Technology Drivers

  • High Temperature Applications (close coupled catalysts)
  • Low Temperature Applications (Diesel Oxidation Converters)
  • Diesel Emission Systems (Diesel Particulate Filters & NOx removal systems)
  • Thin & Ultra Thin Wall Substrates.

Design Criteria
