Corning DuraTrap(R) AT Filters Selected by Hyundai . Kia Motors for Clean Diesel Passenger Cars.CORNING, N.Y. -- Corning Incorporated Corning Incorporated NYSE: GLW is an American manufacturer of glass, ceramics and related materials, primarily for industrial and scientific applications. The company was known until 1989 as Corning Glass Works. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :GLW GLW Glasgow Airport (UK) GLW Gross Laden Weight GLW Good Lady Wife (Australia) ) announced today that Hyundai (. )Kia Motors “Kia” redirects here. For other uses, see KIA. Kia Motors is South Korea's 2nd largest automobile manufacturer with headquarters in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea. Its CEO is Chung Eui-sun. The American arm is Kia Motors America. is equipping select European-market diesel passenger cars with Corning DuraTrap[R] AT filters. Corning began serial production of AT filters for Hyundai (. )Kia Motors at the end of 2006. This agreement represents additional high-volume production for the advanced diesel particulate filter “DPF” redirects here. For plasma focus device, see dense plasma focus. A diesel particulate filter, sometimes called a DPF, is a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. that Corning introduced in 2005. Hyundai (. )Kia Motors will first integrate the Corning DuraTrap AT filter into the Kia Cee'd The Kia cee'd is a small family car released in the European market by the Korean manufacturer Kia Motors in December 2006. It is available as a five-door hatchback, with a choice of up to five engines (three petrol and two diesel), four trim levels and either manual or automatic diesel passenger car, which has a 1.6 liter advanced diesel engine. Hyundai (. )Kia Motors will soon integrate the DuraTrap AT filter into other diesel passenger car models. The Kia Cee'd will be produced and available to consumers in late 2007. "We are pleased that Hyundai (. )Kia Motors has chosen our DuraTrap AT filters for their latest model diesel passenger cars," said Thomas R. Hinman, senior vice president and general manager of Diesel Technologies. "By leveraging our expertise in materials, processes and manufacturing, we are able to offer advanced emissions control Emissions control may refer to:
The Corning DuraTrap AT filter uses an advanced aluminum titanate ti·tan·ate n. A salt or ester of titanic acid. composition to deliver excellent thermal shock Thermal shock in mechanical models Thermal shock is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. Glass and ceramic objects are particularly vulnerable to this form of failure, due to their low toughness, low thermal conductivity, and high resistance and filtration under demanding conditions. This filter also uses a monolithic (single unit) structure that contributes to the durability of the filter. Corning is producing the filters at its manufacturing facility in Erwin, N.Y. Corning is a leading supplier of advanced cellular ceramic substrates and diesel particulate filters for all of the world's major manufacturers of gasoline and diesel engines and vehicles. The company invented an economical, high-performance cellular ceramic substrate in the early 1970s that is now the standard for catalytic converters worldwide. In 1978, Corning developed the cellular ceramic particulate filter to remove soot from diesel emissions.
