Automotive catalyst · Brazil

Brazilian automotive catalyst, screened and consolidated.

Flex (Pd/Rh) and light diesel (Pt) catalysts from Brazilian workshops, scrap yards and dismantlers — under one technical sourcing channel with XRF screening and bilingual reporting.

/ Material profile

What we source

  • Flex catalysts (Pd/Rh-rich) from Brazilian gasoline and ethanol fleet — broad code coverage in our internal XRF database.
  • Light diesel catalysts (Pt-rich) from Brazilian pickups, vans and SUVs.
  • DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) units from light/medium diesel applications, evaluated case by case.
  • Imported and premium catalysts, often higher-value per unit.

/ A note on heavy diesel

Size does not equal value

A larger physical part is not automatically a higher-value part. Modern heavy-duty diesel trucks using SCR/AdBlue (urea) often distribute the emission work between DOC, DPF and SCR — the SCR stage does not use PGM as the main catalyst. As a result, many heavy truck assemblies show combined PGM grades that make recovery economically marginal. Light diesel (pickups and vans) tends to carry meaningful Pt grades and is generally more interesting for recovery, especially with Pt rising while Pd and Rh have receded from recent peaks.

/ How we work

Sourcing workflow

  1. Buyer profile alignment — codes of interest, volume, payment terms, geographic focus.
  2. Sourcing across all of Brazil, with prepaid shipping labels issued by CATPRO.
  3. XRF screening on arrival, with photo documentation by code.
  4. Lot consolidation with traceability per piece. Bilingual report on demand.
  5. Logistics and documentation alignment with your operation.

Got several photos? Send them on WhatsApp

If possible, send photos of the material, label, packaging, origin, approximate weight and any existing assay. You may use the form below (with a Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox/WeTransfer link) or send everything directly on WhatsApp.

Open WhatsApp →

Provide at least WhatsApp or email.

Before submitting, consider photographing

  • General shot of the material
  • Close-up (1–2 detail shots showing texture or ceramic)
  • Packaging, drum or container
  • Labels, stamped codes or process datasheet
  • Weight on a scale (even approximate)
  • Origin or operational context
  • Any existing assay, even informal (XRF, certificate, email)

Paste a public link with the photos. Or send them later on WhatsApp — your contact info above is enough.
