Abstract
A method is disclosed for extruding thin-walled ceramic bodies. The method involves mixing into a homogenized batch a granular ceramic, a binder, a soluble oxidizing agent and a matrix precursor in amounts sufficient to provide a substantially water-free extrudable mixture. The batch is extruded into an atmosphere containing SO.sub.2 which permeates the extrudate and reacts with the oxidizing agent to form SO.sub.3 in situ. The SO.sub.3 catalyzes polymerization of the furfuryl alcohol to a rigid solid which prevents deformation of the extrudate.
