artificial marbles therefrom.
European Patent Application EP0173290 A2

ABSTRACT:
Abstract not available for EP0173290
Abstract of corresponding document: US4678819
A composition for artificial marble which comprises a polymer
composition in which an inorganic substance and an organic polymer are
firmly bound in one body and a vinyl compound, said polymer composition
being obtained by polymerizing a polymerizable vinyl monomer, in the
presence of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of
carboxylic acid monomer, sulfonic acid monomer, and sulfonate monomer,
in an aqueous polymerization system containing an inorganic substance
dispersed therein; and a processs for producing artificial marble from
said composition by cast polymerization with the addition of a
polymerization initiator.
