  • Patent number: 11759741
    Abstract: A honeycomb filter includes a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure body having a porous partition wall disposed to surround a plurality of cells and a plugging portion, wherein the partition wall is composed of a material containing cordierite as a main component thereof, porosity of the partition wall measured by a mercury press-in method is 60 to 68%, an average pore diameter of the partition wall measured by a mercury press-in method is 13 to 18 ?m, and in a pore diameter distribution indicating a cumulative pore volume of the partition wall measured by a mercury press-in method, with a pore diameter (?m) on an abscissa axis and a log differential pore volume (cm3/g) on an ordinate axis, a first peak including a maximum value of the log differential pore volume has a pore diameter value of 15 ?m or less, the pore diameter value corresponding to a ? value width of the maximum value.
