Disclosed are compositions for applying to honeycomb substrates. The compositions comprise an inorganic powder batch composition; a binder; and a liquid vehicle. The inorganic powder batch composition comprises a ceramic forming glass powder. The compositions are well suited for use as plugging compositions for forming ceramic diesel particulate wall flow filters. Also disclosed herein are end plugged wall flow filters comprising the disclosed plugging compositions and methods for the manufacture thereof. The glass powder forms crystalline cordierite. |
