DuPont Vespel Polyimide Used at High Temperatures to reduce NOx Emissions in Cars

Gustav Wahler GmbH & Co. KG of Esslingen (Germany) uses bushings made of DuPont™ Vespel® TP polyimide to position and guide the cylindrical operating rods of EGR slip-in valves (EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation). These valves are used in four and six cylinder stratified-charged petrol engines. Located behind the precatalytic converter and operating at temperatures of up to 220 °C, they regulate the quantity of exhaust gases recirculated into the combustion air to reduce NOx emissions.
