A method of plugging a honeycomb body includes mixing a plugging mixture at a mixing temperature, wherein the plugging mixture comprises a plurality of inorganic particles, inorganic binder, organic binder, and water; dispensing the plugging mixture into a patty mold at a dispensing temperature; cooling the plugging mixture within the patty mold to a cooled temperature, such that a cement patty is formed; and pressing the cement patty into a plurality of channels in a honeycomb body, wherein the mixing temperature and the dispensing temperature are above a hydration point temperature of the organic binder in the plugging mixture, and the cooled temperature is below the hydration point temperature of the organic binder in the plugging mixture.

Process for the preparation of an additive comprising TiO.sub.2 particles dispersed on a support of pseudo-layered phyllosilicate-type, comprising the dispersion in water of the support, the acid activation of the support and the high-shear dispersion of the support with the TiO.sub.2 particles Use of the particles obtained by this process as additives with photocatalytic activity for water purification and disinfection, for purification of polluted gas streams and to provide materials, in particular construction materials, with self-cleaning, biocide, deodorization and/or pollution reduction properties in the presence of air and ultraviolet light.

The present disclosure relates to coating compositions, kits, and methods of applying the same, for use with fireproofing materials. The coating compositions are effective to control the drying rate and shrinkage of fireproofing materials. The coating compositions are also able to be applied to fireproofing materials shortly after these materials have been applied to a substrate.

A solid composition contains a first material and a powder and satisfies requirements 1 and 2. Requirement 1: |dA(T)/dT| satisfies 10 ppm/° C. or more at least at −200° C. to 1,200° C. A is (an a-axis lattice constant of a crystal in the powder)/(a c-axis lattice constant of a crystal in the powder), obtained from X-ray diffractometry of the powder. Requirement 2: C is 0.04 or more. C is (a log differential pore volume when a pore diameter of the solid composition is B in a pore distribution curve of the solid composition)/(a log differential pore volume corresponding to a maximum peak intensity in the pore distribution curve of the solid composition). B is (a pore diameter giving a maximum peak intensity in the pore distribution curve of the solid composition)/2. The pore distribution curve of the solid composition shows a relationship between the pore diameter and the log differential pore volume.
