Diesel Exhaust Filter Results Verified
By Independent Laboratory Tests

ICS’s mission is to convert state-of-the-art materials ideas into commercial products. Fortunately ICS is located within 15 minutes of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to make use of ORNL’s extensive materials research and testing capabilities.
• The capabilities of the government laboratory allows ICS to compete, on an equal basis, with large international corporations.
• New ideas and products are discussed with world class scientists to determine feasibility and product development plans.
• Prototype materials and products are tested at ORNL on the best equipment in the world to evaluate performance and necessary optimization changes.

ICS uses the ORNL personnel and facilities to evaluate each step of our ThermaPore™ product development, from media manufacturing to final cartridge testing.
• The Company spent two years working with ORNL to develop the filter media and binder system, using high-resolution electron microscopy.
• Each change affecting the ceramic fiber-binder interaction was evaluated at a magnification of 2,000X.
• ICS tested the final product in diesel engine test cells at ORNL to evaluate the performance, durability and filtration efficiency. See details at right.
