A cement composition for application to a ceramic substrate, such as a cement skin composition for application to a ceramic honeycomb body is provided. The cement composition includes a first source of inorganic particles having a mean particle diameter <50 nm, wherein the first source of inorganic particles is present at about <15% (by dry weight), a second source of inorganic particles having a mean particle diameter of from about 50 nm to about 700 nm, wherein the second source of inorganic particles is present at from about 5% to about 15% (by dry weight), and a water-soluble organic binder. An inorganic fibrous material can be present at about <15% (based on dry weight). The amount of at least one of the first source of inorganic particles or the inorganic fibrous material is greater than 0% (by dry weight).

The present invention relates to a process for producing silica-based thermal insulation moulded body comprising at least 50% by weight of synthetic amorphous silica and not more than 50% by weight of natural silica with a specified particle size, thermal insulation moulded body obtainable by this process and the use thereof for thermal and/or acoustic insulation.
