A bstract A program of research and development is described that has resulted in the formulation and commercial production of a ceramic body, which, when impregnated with bitumens and heat‐treated, becomes impervious because of the deposition of carbon, in the form of coke, in its pores. This material possesses properties particularly adapting it to use in the manufacture of sinks, drain pipe and fittings, and other forms of laboratory and chemical plant equipment. The properties of the new material are given, and its application in other fields is considered.
