Abstract:
A honeycomb filter includes a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure having porous partition walls provided, surrounding a plurality of cells which serve as fluid through channels extending from an inflow end face to an outflow end face, and a porous plugging portion provided either at an end on the inflow end face or the outflow end face of the cells, wherein the plugging portion is composed of a porous material, the honeycomb structure has a central region and a circumferential region, and a ratio of an area of the circumferential region with respect to that of the central region ranges from 0.1 to 0.5, porosity of a central plugging portion in the central region is lower than that of a circumferential plugging portion in the circumferential region, and the porosity of the central plugging portions ranges from 60% to 68%, and that of the circumferential plugging portions ranges from 70% to 85%.
