APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Automotive Catalytic Converters
Automotive catalytic converters are exhaust aftertreatment devices containing catalytic materials supported on a flow-through or other suitable substrate.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
An automotive catalytic converter is a device that uses a catalyst to convert three harmful compounds in car exhaust into harmless compounds. It is a stainless steel box mounted in the exhaust system. Inside is the auto catalyst - a ceramic or metallic substrate with an active coating incorporating chemical compounds (the washcoat) to support a combination of catalytical materials or minerals selected for their effectiveness in the required emissions reductions.
A substrate provides area for a washcoat and active materials. Gasoline and diesel aftertreatment systems use different catalyst functions and operating conditions.
Temperature, exhaust composition and ageing affect conversion. The converter must integrate with sensors and the broader engine-control and aftertreatment system.
What turns activity into demand
Catalyst chemistry and thermal behaviour must fit the engine architecture. Separate catalyst materials, converter assemblies and complete aftertreatment systems.
The commercial boundary
Separate catalyst materials, converter assemblies and complete aftertreatment systems.
