Holding sealing material, exhaust gas purifying apparatus and method for manufacturing exhaust gas purifying apparatus

Abstract

A holding sealing material has a mat shape and includes an adsorption portion, a holding portion, and a coupling portion. The adsorption portion is configured to adsorb urea and has a width and a longer side face extending along a longitudinal direction of the holding sealing material. The holding portion is configured to hold an exhaust gas treating body and has another width and another longer side face extending along the longitudinal direction. The width of the adsorption portion is smaller than the width of the holding portion. The longer side face of the adsorption portion faces the longer side face of the holding portion via a space. The coupling portion connects the adsorption portion and the holding portion.
