MOUNTING MAT FOR MOUNTING MONOLITH IN A POLLUTION CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

The present invention provides a multilayer mounting mat for mounting a pollution control element. The mounting mat comprises a layer of intumescent material between two non-intumescent layers defining opposite major sides of the mounting mat. The mounting mat in accordance with the present invention is suitable for mounting a pollution control element in a pollution control device and is in particular suitable for mounting fragile monolith such as thin-wall and ultra thin-wall monoliths. Also, the mounting mats convenientl y exhibit a good or excellent holding pressure over a wide temperature range a nd can be formulated in an inexpensive way. The invention also provides a pollution control device comprising a pollution control element arranged in a casing with the mounting mat disposed between the casing and pollution contr ol element.
