Catalytic converter production suffers from volatile and expensive PGM costs, tightening regulatory mandates, and supply chain risks due to geopolitical issues.
Explore how our patent pending base-metal catalyst technology can match incumbent PGM performance at a fraction of the cost with seamless supply chain integration.
Effectively transforms harmful exhaust gases (NOx, CO, HC) into safer byproducts—meeting stringent global emission standards.
Maintains conversion efficiency even after 100+ hours of accelerated high-temperature aging - proven durability under OEM-grade stress tests.
Delivers performance at a fraction of the price by replacing expensive precious metals with widely available base metals.
Easily applies to standard substrates using existing equipment—no need for specialized tools or retooling of production lines.
The costs of PGMs utilized in automotive catalysis are high and volatile and they are sourced primarily from areas with a high degree of geopolitical risk – a supply chain headache. In contrast, Aether’s catalysts are made from relatively inexpensive, common base metals and can be delivered at 10% of the cost of PGM catalysts. Additionally, the inexpensive nature of Aether’s catalysts opens up new markets, such as small motors.
