Product InformationBenefitsCorning builds on more than 40 years of ceramic material and process knowledge with its fast light-off substrates. Through a unique material design that significantly reduces mass, FLORATM substrates can reach operating temperature more quickly than our standard Celcor® substrates to lower cold-start emissions. Discover best-in-class technical expertise from the company that invented cellular ceramic substrates and sets the standard for catalytic converters worldwide.
• Excellent time to light-off performance to meet stringent HC emissions requirements
• Designed to facilitate on-wall coating to help maximize catalytic performance
• Can lower system cost by reducing precious metal use• Improves fuel efficiency
Fast light-off substrates significantly reduce cumulative hydrocarbon emissions compared to standard substrates.
