Abstract
Mineral-filled thermosetting molding compositions having improved abrasion resistance. The addition of up to 10% polyethylene or other polyolefin greatly improves the abrasion resistance of conventional molding compositions containing 15% to 60% thermosetting resin, 40% to 85% mineral filler of which 50% may be fiberglass or other fibrous reinforcement. The addition is especially applicable with free radical initiated polymers, particularly polyester resins and epoxy-polybutadiene resins, with which it cross links. In some cases flexure strength is also slightly improved.
