Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today the company has
been awarded the Corporate Technical Achievement Award by the
American Ceramic Society. Corning was honored for developing the
DuraTrap� AT filter which is used in advanced mobile emission
control systems to significantly reduce particulate matter from the
exhaust of diesel vehicles. This award recognizes outstanding,
commercialized technologies that improve our society. Introduced in
2005, Corning DuraTrap� AT filters are made of a unique aluminum
titanate material that delivers enhanced durability, high
filtration efficiency and excellent pressure drop within exhaust
aftertreatment systems. DuraTrap� AT filters are being used
globally to help customers, including Volkswagen AG and Hyundai-Kia
Motors, meet increasingly stringent particulate emissions
regulations. They are designed for use in light-, medium- and
heavy-duty vehicles. �The design and development of the Corning
DuraTrap� AT filter leverages Corning�s unique ability to innovate
a product that not only helps our customers meet their technical
requirements but also improves air quality,� said Thomas Hinman,
senior vice president of Corning Environmental Technologies. �We
are honored to receive this award and we are proud of the Corning
employees who worked diligently to bring this innovative product to
market.� This is the sixth time that Corning has been honored with
this award. It will be presented at the American Ceramic Society�s
110th annual meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa. on October 6, 2008. For

diesel particulate 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
(heated) to consume the soot and clean the filter. Corning is a
leading supplier of advanced cellular ceramic substrates and diesel
particulate filters for all of the world's major manufacturers of
gasoline and diesel engines and vehicles. 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. About the American Ceramic Society AcerS is a
non-profit, independent membership organization for the ceramics
community that represents more than 6,000 scientists, engineers,
researchers, manufacturers, plant personnel, educators, students,
marketing and sales professionals from more than 60 countries.
