For the production of our ceramic substrates, we mainly use natural raw materials (kaolin, talc, alumina) with multiple properties essential to the quality of our product.
Its honeycomb configuration with ultra-thin walls (0.05mm) gives each substrate the maximum contact area - if you spread the structure flat, it would cover an area equivalent to two football fields.
HONEYCERAM® supports very high temperatures and large heat variations without loss of engine power.
Our HONEYCERAM ® substrates are suitable for all types of vehicles (with petrol, diesel or hybrid engines) whether cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, construction equipment…
