Mitsubishi Plastics Enters Engine Exhaust NOx Gas Catalyst Business
Tokyo, Mar 5, 2013 (JCN) - Mitsubishi Plastics announced on March 5 a full-scale entry into NOx exhaust gas catalyst manufacturing with its unique high-performance zeolite AQSOA used in the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) System.
The SCR System is a means of converting NOx contained in exhaust gas into Nitrogen and water with the aid of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) or AdBlue. The market for this technology is expected to expand rapidly for its excellent catalytic performance.
Mitsubishi Plastics will establish a global production/supply system of the high-performance zeolite AQSOA for SCR catalysts and further improve the quality of the product in its proactive efforts to expand the SCR catalyst market.
Mitsubishi Plastics is developing the business for the unique high-performance zeolite AQSOA, taking advantage of the excellent water vapor adsorbent performance, in adsorption chillers and desiccant air-conditioners that have the potential to use solar heat and low-temperature sources such as factory exhaust heat.
Under the current global trend of increasingly more stringent automotive and truck exhaust regulation, a significant market expansion is expected for the SCR System, which reduces NOx. And demand for zeolitic catalysts used in the system is also expected to expand rapidly.
