Corning DuraTrap AT Filters Selected by Ford of Europe for Clean Diesel Passenger Cars

CORNING, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today that Ford of Europe is
equipping several models of its European market diesel passenger cars with the
Corning DuraTrap AT filter. Corning has already begun shipping the product to
Ford of Europe. This announcement represents yet another customer for Corning`s
innovative DuraTrap AT filter.

"This is a significant opportunity. Ford of Europe is one of the largest diesel
car manufacturers in Europe," said Thomas R. Hinman, senior vice president of
Corning Environmental Technologies. "We are pleased that they have integrated
the DuraTrap AT filter into their emissions control systems. Corning`s AT filter
technology will help them meet stringent operating conditions and strict
regulations."

The Corning DuraTrap AT filter uses an advanced aluminum titanate composition
that delivers enhanced durability, high-filtration efficiency and excellent
pressure drop within exhaust aftertreatment systems. This filter also uses a
monolithic (single unit) structure that contributes to its durability. The
DuraTrap AT filter is being used around the world to help customers meet
stringent particulate emissions regulations. It is designed for use in light-,
medium-, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles.

Corning diesel filters are used in emission control systems to remove
particulate matter (soot) from vehicle exhaust. These wall-flow filters collect
soot particles using a cellular ceramic structure with alternating channels open
at the inlet and plugged on the outlet of the filter. Periodically the filter is
regenerated to consume the soot and clean the filter.

Corning is a leading supplier of advanced cellular ceramic substrates and diesel
particulate filters for the world's major manufacturers of gasoline and diesel
engines. The company invented an economical, high-performance, cellular ceramic
substrate in the early 1970s that is now the standard for catalytic converters
worldwide. In 1978, Corning developed the cellular ceramic particulate filter to
remove soot from diesel emissions. Corning continues to leverage its expertise
in materials, processes and manufacturing to develop advanced ceramic substrates
and diesel particulate filters that help meet demanding mobile emissions
requirements.
