Catalyst Services Summary

Small, uncontrolled variations in the application of reagents during the manufacture of automotive catalysts can have a large impact on financial contracts and in some cases negatively affect catalytic performance.

SGS' flagship laboratory in Lakefield, Canada provides reliable, high quality analytical and specialized materials characterization services to the manufacturers, buyers and sellers of autocatalysts.

SGS helps automotive companies manage their transactional and final product recall risks by providing an independent assessment of substrate, formulation and coating quality.

Catalyst manufacturing plant laboratories receive assistance with data quality and handling sample surges.

This can include the manufacture and certification of analytical standards, method development, quality audits and check-analysis services. Plants also use SGS' laboratory in Lakefield to confirm reagent quality prior to formulation and to confirm new converter quality prior to full-scale production.

For groups involved in the development of new autocatalyst formulas and technology, SGS provides confidential and reliable analytical and specialized materials characterization support.
