Method for manufacturing honeycomb structure and honeycomb structure

Abstract

There is provided a method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure comprising the steps of: forming kneaded clay containing a forming mixture of cordierite-forming materials and an organic binder to manufacture a honeycomb formed article, and firing the honeycomb formed article. The forming mixture contains at least hydrophilic talc. The method enables to perform extrusion forming at a high rate even without raising an apparatus load in order to improve productivity and can provide a honeycomb structure.
