Ceramic catalysts

Value hidden
inside the ceramic core.

We purchase complete ceramic catalytic converters, whole or crushed ceramics and monolith. Valuation depends on identification, condition, Pt/Pd/Rh content and current market conditions.

Ceramics and monolith purchase

What matters is not the casing, but the material inside.

In ceramic catalytic converters, the active layer is carried by a porous honeycomb substrate. This is where platinum-group metals are found — primarily platinum, palladium and rhodium.

We purchase both complete catalytic converters and ceramic material itself: whole, crushed and monolith in powder form. We serve private customers, workshops, dismantling stations, traders and wholesale suppliers.

What we purchase

Ceramic material in different forms.

The type and condition of the material affect identification, analysis and settlement.

What determines the price?

Valuation reflects the actual material value.

The previous website described the method used to establish catalogue values: a series of identically marked, undamaged catalytic converters is dismantled, ground and analysed. The averaged metal-content result helps determine a typical value for a given marking.

In practice, an individual unit may differ from the catalogue value, so the final price is confirmed individually.

What affects the valuation

There is no single fixed price for a catalytic converter.

The final value depends on several groups of factors — from substrate mass and condition to metal quotations and exchange rates.

01

Mass and moisture ceramiki

The actual material weight and moisture content affect the quantity of monolith used for settlement.

02

Pt / Pd / Rh content

The most important parameter is the concentration of platinum, palladium and rhodium in the material.

03

Metal quotations

Precious-metal prices change on global markets and directly affect valuation.

04

Exchange rates

Raw-material settlements are linked to USD quotations and current exchange rates.

05

Condition

Cracks, losses, overheating and other mechanical or thermal damage reduce the actual material value.

06

Eksploatacja pojazdu

Mileage, fuel type and operating conditions can affect the condition and composition of the substrate.

Quick identification

Have a catalyst number? Start with the catalogue.

If the marking is readable, the catalogue can help identify the model. The current price is always confirmed directly before the transaction.

CATALOGUE

Check the marking

Open the catalyst catalogue and search for the number shown on the casing.
