Abstract:

Economical durable molded articles are prepared by mixing a hardenable resin system, gypsum filler and glass fibers, molding the desired article from the mixture, and hardening the molded article by heat or by the use of a hardening agent. The resin system comprises at least one hardenable resin, for example urea formaldehyde resin, and can include a second hardenable resin, for example polyvinyl acetate resin. The gypsum filler may be an economical by-product of phosphate refining. The glass fibers may be an economical by-product from the manufacture of bulk filter media. The constituents of the resin system and their proportions are chosen to impart desired surface finishes to the molded article. Coloring agents and other additives may also be added to affect the surface finish and appearance.
