Abstract:
1. An end cone insulator comprising (a) ceramic fibers having a bulk shrinkage no greater than 10 percent using the Thermal Mechanical Analyzer test, (b) an organic binder, and (c) no greater than 40 weight percent of an inorganic binder based on a weight of the ceramic fibers, wherein said end cone insulator has a seamless one piece truncated cone-shape that is self-supporting so as to maintain said truncated cone-shape without collapsing or deforming when placed on a flat surface, flexible so that it can be bent and flexed gently without breaking apart or cracking, non-intumescent, and dimensioned with a truncated cone-shape suitable for being disposed between inner and outer cone-shaped metal end cone housings in an end cone region of a pollution control device.
