The invention provides a method of making a catalytic converter for automotive exhaust gases comprising: (a) placing a catalytic converter element in a mold; (b) injecting a sufficient amount of a flowable mounting material into the mold to form a seamless continuous coating around a portion of the element, the flowable mounting material comprising 2 to 90 dry weight percent of at least one unexpanded intumescent material, 10 to 98 dry weight percent of binder, 0 to 25 dry weight percent fibers, 0 to 70 dry weight percent of one or more fillers, and a liquid; and (c) removing the catalytic converter element from the mold. In a preferred embodiment the catalytic converter element is heated to a temperature from about 60 DEG C. to about 150 DEG C. after step (c) and then said catalytic element is disposed in a housing. Analogous methods of making diesel particulate filters and high temperature rigid filters are also described.
