A filler mixture comprising (a) from about 1 to about 20 percent by weight of amorphous-pyrogenic silica and (b) from about 80 to about 99 percent by weight of a micro or short fiber inorganic filler material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
37 words
A filler mixture comprising (a) from about 1 to about 20 percent by weight of amorphous-pyrogenic silica and (b) from about 80 to about 99 percent by weight of a micro or short fiber inorganic filler material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The mixture of claim 1 wherein component (a) is present in quantities of from about 5 to about 15 percent by weight and component (b) is present in quantities of from about 85 to about 95 percent by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The mixture of claim 3 wherein component (b) is calcium silicate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
A filled, curable, thermosettable resin composition containing a thermosettable resin, a curing quantity of a curing system therefor and a sufficient quantity of a filler mixture so as to render the composition non-flowable and trowelable, said filler mixture comprising (a) from about 1 to about 20 percent by weight of amorphous-pyrogenic silica and (b) from about 80 to about 99 percent by weight of a micro or short fiber inorganic filler material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
72 words
A filled, curable, thermosettable resin composition containing a thermosettable resin, a curing quantity of a curing system therefor and a sufficient quantity of a filler mixture so as to render the composition non-flowable and trowelable, said filler mixture comprising (a) from about 1 to about 20 percent by weight of amorphous-pyrogenic silica and (b) from about 80 to about 99 percent by weight of a micro or short fiber inorganic filler material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
43 words
