Catalyzed soot filter - Innovative technologies for the automotive industry |

Over the next several years, more stringent standards will go into effect globally to reduce automobile emissions. In cooperation with our customers, we develop sustainable technologies to meet these requirements. As a leading supplier to the automotive industry, we have extended our portfolio to include exhaust catalysts as a result of the integration of Engelhard.
One example is the catalyzed soot filter (CSF). If equipped with a soot filter, diesel automobiles have a significantly lower impact on the environment. In order for the filter to remain efficient, the soot usually needs to be removed on a regular basis. For the CSF, Engelhard was the first company to develop a catalyst that interacts with the engine to clean the filter without maintenance. Harmful soot emissions are thereby reduced efficiently and, at the same time, more cost-effectively. BASF now supplies this technology to many automotive manufacturers in Europe.
