Why should you use CERACLEAN®?

  • CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter uses raw materials, such as silicon carbide powder, that are developed and produced by Saint-Gobain.  
  • The homogeneous material structure of CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter enables even catalytic coating.  
  • CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter is especially resistant to high temperatures, thermal fluctuation, and chemical attack.  
  • The asymmetric cell design of CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter increases the dust filtration capacity and extends the filters' maintenance intervals.  
  • The innovative wavy cell design of CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter reduces exhaust gas pressure and fuel consumption.  
  • Even after heavy use, CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter guarantees a high level of filtration efficiency.  
  • The robustness of recrystallized silicon carbide, gives CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter a long life.  
  • The alignment of the segments ensures a high degree of flexibility with respect to the filter’s size and shape.  
  • CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter contains no organic substances.  
  • CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter is suitable for use with coatings as well as with additives.  
  • CERACLEAN® filters are supplied as a serial product for OEMs and the retrofit market.  
  • CERACLEAN® diesel particulate filter remains equally efficient regardless of the fuel’s sulphur concentration.
